AFRAID TO GO HOME
WIFE’S TEN DAYS IN GAOL * WRONG IMPRISONMENT (THE SUN’S Parliamentary Reporter.') WELLINGTON, Friday. The insatiable desire of a woman to expend money on clothes might be said to have been responsible for the plight in which Mary Ann Fowler found herself shortly after Christmas. She was given some money by her husband to go to Auckland from her home at Birkdale. She spent it on a hat and other things, and then became afraid to go home with the result that she was arrested and sent to gaol on a sentence of three months for having no visible means of support. After 10 days she was released. Both Mary Ann and John Fowler her husband, have now indignantly petitioned Parliament seeking redress for wrongful imprisonment. They say that the police made no effort to locate her husband, and that she served ten days, before the efforts of her husband effected her discharge in open court.
