“EVERYTHING BAD”
DETECTIVE’S INDICTMENT OF INDIAN WAS ANNOYING WOMEN “He is everything that is bad and he never works except when he is in gaol,” said Chief-Detective Hammond at the Police Court this morning, when Ganesh Givan was charged with being disorderly while drunk in Quay Street last evening. Givan, described as an Indian hawker, aged 29, pleaded guilty and smiled cheerily at Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M. The chief-detective said Givan had been annoying women in Quay Street. He had been loitering near the bus stops and women had had to run from his attentions. “Givan will not work.” added Mr. Hammond. “He came out of gaol only last Saturday and that is the only place where he will work. He refuses to go back to India, and his fellow countrymen will have nothing to do with him. Laziness is his trouble; in fact, he is everything that’s bad.”
“After what the chief-detective has just said I think it would be difficult for anyone to put in a good word for accused,” commented the magistrate, imposing a fine of £2, in default seven days’ imprisonment.
