When a female offender was arraigned at the Palmerston North Magistrate’s Court on a charge of drunkenness, she asked that a prohibition order bo taken out against her. In view of this, the Magistrate convicted and discharged her on a count of drunkenness. Upon healing this (relates the loca] ‘'Times”), a male inebriate upon whom a fine of 5s had just been inflicted, immediately applied through the booming voice of a constable for an order against himself. “He doesn’t get out of his fine by'doing this,” said Mr Stout, S.M.. with a smile, and the applicant looked as if he realised he had “put his foot in it.”
