- A “Peeping Tom” received well deserved punishment at Auckland recently. The other night, just as the lady inmates of a residence at Devonport had finished undressing one of the girls put up the blind and lowered the window to let some cool air into her room. There was the figure of a man outside the window ,and the dim outline of a hat hanging on the gate-post. The young lady was badly frightened, and gave the alarm. Meanwhile the male figure moved rapidly away, removed the hat from the gate-post, and was gone. But in the morning there was found in the garden beneath the window n handkerchief with a man’s name on the corner. Tin's handkerchief was handed over to the police, and they made a point of interviewing a young man named William Richard Harrison, aged 20. who was charged with being found at night on private premises. It was proved he had gone a long way out of his way to peep into the girls bedrooms. He was sentenced to a month’s hard labour.
