GAOL FOR VAGRANT
“CADGING” AT ONEHUNGA
When George Ross was arrested in Onehunga last evening for vagrancy the only money in his possession was a penny and a halfpenny. Before Messrs. J. E. Green and P. G Soar, J.P.’s, in the Onehunga Police Court this morning, he pleaded guilty to being an idle and disorderly person. Sergeant J. A. Cruickshaulc told the Bench that Ross had been warned by the Auckland police to “move on.” He had been “cadging” from Onehunga residents and sleeping out. He had a long list of convictions. “Why should I be sent to prison after my war record?” demanded Ross, when sentenced to three months’ imprisonment.
