AUCKLAND, Monday. "This man has been systematically dodging going to relief camps, and he is being kept by a woman in Vincent Street," said Detective Sergeant Kelly, at the Police Coui't this morning, when George Burnett Songhqrst (45) pleaded guilty to a charge of being an idle and disorderly person with insufficient means of support. A Salvation Army officer said Songhurst left the camps at Christmas time. He was now willing to return. "Not before he serves a month's imprisonment," said the magistrate. "That will teach him to work."
