NOWHERE TO GO
MAN WHO HAD NOTHING NINE DAYS OR A FINE Ernest Tompikins has nothing of the good things of this world, with the exception of his 3D years and the nine days’ imprisonment that Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M., gave him this morning. As a matter of fact he was given the option of a fine, but to a man who “had nothing” that was not of much *se. His crime was being found without lawful excuse in the workmen’s waiting room at the Auckland Electric Power Board’s station in King’s Drive last night. He had broken a window pane to get in, and when the police found him there he pleaded that he had nowhere to go. “He was too lazy to walk up to the Salvation Army place which is always open,” said the magistrate. "Fined 40s or seven days on the first charge and convicted and ordered ‘O pay 5s damages on the second. Two days in default.”
