The S.M. Decides

QNE TREE HILL is one of the most outstanding and striking features of Auckland city's landscape; it is both serviceable as a landmark and topographically picturesque. For a young man named Albert Edward Hogg, it is now more — it stands to remind him that m consequence of what happened last New Year's Day, when he and three young girls chose to picnic on the pretty green-sloped hill, he has now to pay 12/6 a week for the maintenance of the child of Edith Winifred Tarrant, eighteen years of age. Lawyer Fraer assisted young Hogg in his efforts to disclaim responsibility before Magistrate Hunt at the Auckland Magistrate's Court last week, but the girl's story held good. In a statement to the police, Hogg admitted that he knew a girl by the name of "Winnie"; also he "knew a lot of girls at Onehunga, some of them he picked up on the street and at dances." "He candidly admits m his , statement that he is a youth of loose character and immoral living," remarked his worship, m adjudging Hogg the father of the child.
