SYDNEY’S THUGS
EFFECT OF NEW LAW. (Australian Press Association) SYDNEY, Dec. 15. The criminal gangs in Sydney are finding the introduction of the “consorting” clause in the Crimes Act to be unhealthy. Several arrests have already been made which will be the subject of test cases next week. The police state that the known criminals will have a full opportunity to leave New South Wales in the next month or so. A number of criminals have not waited for any hints. They have not “stood upon the order of their going.” As soon as they learned that the consorting clause was in operation, they left. The authorities believe that this will reduce the gang warfare and promiscuous shootings and razor slashings.
