EXPENSIVE CALL.
BEGGAR VISITS POLICE OFFICER. Palmerston, January 17. A man named William Barker, who has over a score of previous convictions against him, fell into the hands of the police in a rather curious way to-day. He was going from house to house telling a somewhat pitiful tale of want and suffering, and soliciting financial aid, when he quite unknowingly called at the private residence of the Sup-Inspector of Police, who at once recognised the vagabond. He was escorted to the police station, and, latef in the day, appeared in the Police Court, where he pleaded guilty to a charge of vagrancy, and was sentenced ; to a month's imprisonment.
