SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.
111T TELEGRAPH.—PRESS A.SSOCITIOAN.J Wellington, Saturday. SOMK shocking revelations were made at the K.M. Court this morning, when a family of three generations was charged with various olfences of either occupying brothels or leading a life of vagrancy. It appears that the grandfather, an old man of 7H, owned a collection of wretched huts near (lliuznee-street, known as “ the rabbit warren, ” and his son, with four children, two of whom were described as among the lowest prostitutes in town, lived in them. The huts were built of old kerosene tins, packing cases, etc., and were about four feet high and six feet square—nut large enough for a man to stand up in. Thfather, who was once resjwctable, was proved to have bi...:ght men to the place, and the Bench said it was a terrible thing to find a man so degraded as to live on the prostitution of his children. Imprisonment for terms of two or three months was inflicted in the case of Estall, his daughters, and two other women. The grandfather was not dealt with, as he was seized with a fit, and the two young children were removed.
