Absolutely!” Hannah Campbell, a woman of 53, was positive she had not been drunk yesterday, when she appeared in the Magistrate’s Court this morning. Constable Hickey said that he saw her dancing and waving her hands about outside the Waitemata Hotel. She crossed over the street and struck a man on the shoulder. “She’s been very good for the last three or four years,” said Senior Sergeant Edwards, when the woman asked for time to pay the 22s 6d that her. impromptu dance cost her. The magistrate granted her request. “Thank you very much, goodbye sir, he said, Goodbye”s—to the police around her—and stepped down from the dock.
