MASQUERADED AS GIRL.
MAORI BEFORE COURT.
GISBORNE, Wednesday
A curious case was before the Magistrate this morning, a native being charged with vagrancy and disguising himself. Evidence showed that he had been going about as a girl, occasionally changing into male clothing. At times he had gone to dances as a girl. Medical evidence showed certain abnormalities. The man had been seriously injured in the war. The Magistrate remarked that accused's voice and appearance was that of a typical Maori female. He admitted accused to probation.
