IDLE AND DISORDERLY.
LABOURER BEFORE COURT.
“This man has a wife and seven children, and for a long time past he has neither done any work nor tried to get work,” said Senior-De-tective Quirke in the Palmerston North Magistrate’s Court at Palmerston North on Thursday, when Messrs W. F. Durwood and A. J. Graham, J.'P.’s were on the Bench. The senior-detective was referring to William Charles Healy, described as a labourer, and sometimes flax worker and jockey, who pleaded not guilty to a charge of being idle and disorderly and without visible means of support. The police also alleged accused frequented hotels too much. Evidence was given by a detective that accused associated with criminals. In a statement accused said that he was practically an invalid. A doctor had recently said he was not fit for work. Accused was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment.
