WOMEN VAGRANTS
EACH RECEIVES THREE MONTHS A CHANCE TO REFORM To give them a chance to reform, two young women vagrants were each sentenced to three months’ imprisonment by Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., at the Police Court this morning. It/TABEL JACKSON, a domestic, aged 28, and Meryl Julian, a dressmaker, aged 27, pleaded guilty to being found drunk in Victoria Street. They also admitted that they were idle and disorderly, having insufficient lawful means of support. Jackson further pleaded guilty on a charge of breaking her prohibition order. Sub-Inspector McCarthy suggested that the women should be gaoled for a time to give them a chance to pull themselves together. The magistrate concurred in this view and remarked that Major Gordon, the probation officer, had done everything possible for both accused.
The sentence was imposed on the vagrancy charges, convictions only being entered on the other counts.
