THE LAW REMEMBERS
WEBBER'S BAD LUCK GAOLED ON OLD CHARGE is not the lucky day of the week for Mark Webber, and he has now got a solitary month to mourn ill-fortune. He was charged at the Police Court to-day with drunkenness, but as he was about to leave the dock lined the usual ss, somebody remembered that another charge was still hanging over his head. Some time ago he had been ordered to come up for sentence when called upon for a theft which he admitted. The magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, asked that the charge be read. When it was, he sentenced Webber to a month’s imprisonment. ‘‘That’s how.* we treat men who abuse leniency,” he said. Captain Davies, of the Salvation Army, said that he had obtained employment for Webber in the country, but he had gone away yesterday and got drunk instead of making preparations to leave town.
