MASQUERADING IN MALE ATTIRE.
Auckland, April 10. Bertha Victor, alias Levi, who appeared at the Police Court on a charge of drunkenness, according to a statement made by the police sergeant, had been masquerading in male attire. She was found drunk. Several persons thinking she was insensible, endeavnured to restore animation and called a doctor, who said the person was drunk. He then made the startling discovery that the supposed man was a woman. She had previously masqueraded as a man in Sydney. Defendant, who appeared in Court in somewhat mixed attire, said having failed to get a man’s work she assumed male attire for that purpose, being able and willing to do a man’s work. She was remanded to enable the Jewish Rabbi to be consulted.
