MUST FIND WORK
CHANCE FOR VAGRANT BEGGED IN QUEEN STREET Instructions to find work, -with the alternative of going to gaol, were given t" Walter Harold Cosgrove, a labourer, aged 47. who appeared at the Police Court this morning on a charge of vagrancy. Cosgrove pleaded guilty ,and also admitted begging alms in Queen Street last evening. Detective-Sergeant Holmes said that when arrested Cosgrove had only ninepence. He had just been discharged from gaol and had nowhere to sleep. Cosgrove asked for a chance, urging that he had work to go to in Te Kuiti. Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M.: Judging by your list drink seems to be the main trouble. Cosgrove was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence within three r.‘ nths. "You will hear nothing further of this if you get away and find work," concluded the m^edstrate.
