Peter Georgius Jimino De Warrmoor was sent to goal for one month as a rogue and a vagabond. He had been passing himself off as deaf and dumb, and. making honse-'to-house visitations in ChrLstchurchi and suburbs, trading on the sympathies of the chiritably disposed. He called atf the house of the chief detective, whose wife gave him 6d, but the chief followed him to an hotel, and found lie could make His wants known at the bar in good* audible language. And so his career cams to an end. The man had been given! garden work, and began t^s job, but cleared a& soon as his employer's back was turned.
