GIRL’S IMPETUOUS ACT. FIVE NIGHTS SPENT IN LUPINS. (Per United Press Association.) ■ Dunedin, January 10. Spending five nights in the lupins at Ocean Beach, during midwinter without food, was the desperate expedient adopted by a 19-year-old girl to avoid being charged with the theft of sevenpence. This impetuous act had serious consequences for the girl, who was badly frostbitten and subsequently'lost three toes. The senior-sergeant told the Magistrate this morning when the girl was charged with the theft that she was found stealing sevenpence from a poor box of a church, and when the police went to her home she bolted and remained tin the lupins until found by the police and sent to hospital The case was adjourned for twelve months.
