INVERCARGILL, April 11. Charges of being idle and disorderly were preferred against two men and a woman in the Police Court this morning as a result of a raid on a house in Fox street last evening. The accused were Harry Turner, John M’Gavock, and Ada Vivian Printz, and pleas of not guilty were entered in each case. Turner said Ije would admit being idle; but not disorderly. It was stated by the police that the house in question had been a source of annoyance to neighbours owing to the drinking which went on there and the bad language used by the occupants. When the constables entered the house, stated the senior sergeant, they found the female accused undressed in bed and the accused Thomas was found hiding in a corner of the same room. The charge against M'Gavock was adjourned for a week, the other two accused being remanded in custody for a similar period.
