WRONG HOUSE
BUT LOOKED THE SAME AUCKLAND, Saturday. "I made a mistake. I was going to my sister's house," was how Charles Brown, aged 61, pleaded at the Police Court this morning, when charged with being found without lawful excuse on enclosed premises in Cromwell Road. He was also charged with drunkenness. Mr. J. H. Reeve said he returned to his home at the surhmons of his wife and found accused sitting on the haclc doorstep. Brown had done the same thing before. Mr. Hunt: Has he always heen drunk? — More or less. I think he mistakes my house for sonieone else's. Does his sister live next door — I don't know where she lives. Mr. Hunt (to Brown). Why do you always go to this nlan's house when you are drunk?— I am short-sighted and the house is very mUch like my sister's, which is in the samd street. (Laughter). "Well, if you do it again, I will [ make it expensive," said the mhgis- ' trate, in fining Brown 5/- for drunkenness and 10/- on the other eharge.
