Charles Stephen York Freeman, alias Black, alias William Atkin, aged 35, -who was recently appointed secretary of the Marlborough Hotel Workers’ Union, was charged with the theft of moneys received on behalf of the union. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to reformative detention for a period not exceeding 12 months. was no previous record of dishonesty against him, and his aliases arose out of an endeavour to avoid arrest for failure to maintain his wife.

After being told not to go near his ear or attempt to drive it, Gilbert Frank Tabernacle, a mechanic, aged 39, ignored the warning and attempted to drive it off the Lyttelton ferry wharf. He was on Friday at Wellington fined £2O for being intoxicated while in charge of a car. It appeared that he drove alongside the steamer where people were bidding farewell to their friends at the gangway barrier. Motors are not allowed inside the shelter at the ferry wharf. “ One of the ways in which New Zealand could enormously increase ite tourist traffic is to see that more luxurious steamer services to its shores are provided,” an American tourist told a Christchurch Sun reporter. “ The Dutch are filling Java with tourists because the magnificent boats that take them there are so well-known and so .restful. This country has more than any other country to offer, but it must bring tourists here in the most comfortable possible way. The Dutch service gives all journalists a 25 per cent, reduction in fare, which seems to be a very good idea.”
