AFTER THE CABARET.

MISBEHAVIOUR IN CAR. WOMAN AND MARRIED MAN FINED. Auckland, Last Night. “Owing to complaints having been received about women in cars calling out idiotically in the Mount Roskill district at night, two constables were sent to watch the locality, and they arrested both accused,” said Senior Sergeant Cummings, at the Police Court when a married man and a young woman were each charged with committing a grossly indecent act. Mr. Cummings added that the accused had come from a cabaret at midnight on Saturday, and remained in a motor car in Martyne Avenue, Mount Roskill, until 2 a.m. Mr. Cummings then described what had taken place. Counsel for both accused said that the man would plead guilty, but the woman not guilty. Both were of good character and the offence was characterised as most venial. He asked that the charge against the young woman be dismissed and that her name be suppressed. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., agreed to do this in the case of the woman. The man was lined £lO, and his name also was suppressed. “I’m only doing this for you to save identifying the young woman and plastering her name in the future.” Mr. Hunt told the man.
