Pleaded, but In Vain

I (From "N.Z. Truths Special Wellington Representative.) | I "I'M pleading to your Worship for a chance," said Florence | | * Levett, aged 35, when she appeared before Mr. Page m the | | Wellington Magistrate's Court for drunkenness, her second lapse | = within about a fortnight. •= | She appeared m the ,dock wearing an expensive musquash | | fur coat, but m her case her expensive apparel did not hide the | | shaking hands, which only too clearly showed the nature of I | her offence. . I | After pleading guilty she said that she was to be married | | shortly, and if not given another chance her life would be I | spoiled. | | The magistrate evidently turned a deaf ear to her plead- | i ings, and gave her the chance of doing twelve months on Paka- = | toa Island or the same term at the Mount Magdala home. She = | chose the latter. • I
