TUESDAY, JAN. 9th.
A WEARY WILLIE.
(Before E. C. Hammond, Esq., J.P.)
An able-bodied young man named Arthur Bradshaw, walked up to the Police Station on Monday evening, and asked Constable Driscoll if he would lock him up, as he was tired of looking for work, having walked from Warkwodih. The police gave him a meal and bed and procured work for him, but he preferred being charged as a vagrant, saying he was tired of looking for work. He was brought up before the bench on Tuesday morning and after Constable Driscoll explained the case and circumstances, his Worship informed the accused that the country did not want to support able-bodied men who could work. Accused said he was not going to look for work anymore. His Worship then sentenced him to two months hard labour in Mt. Eden Gaol, and by that time he may have the tired feeling worked off him.
