“THE WRONG HOUSE”
WOMAN DENIES INTEREST IN MILK JUGS REMAND FOR INQUIRIES * * was there right enough but it was the wrong house,” exclaimed Martha Tairnii, who was remanded at the Police Court this morning on a charge of being unlawfully on enclosed premises. A hint by Chief-Detective Hammond that she was possible interested in milk jugs left on doorsteps was met with an indignant denial. “I seem to have heard that name before.” commented Mr. F. K. Hunt S.M., as Tainui, a Maori domestic aged 55, stepped into the dock. She was charged with being found on the enclosed premises of 135 Grafton Road. The chief-detective repeated that the woman had been stealing milk jugs. There was uo milk jug out at the house where she was arrested, and her explanation had been that she wanted to ask the way to the Mater Hospital where she had been employed. Mr. Hunt made the remand of a week.
