80 DAYS in Jail for vagrancy. with the condition

the court records to show that he had plead
guilty to vagrancy when committed. and evil
dence was also submitted showing that the
statement made by Mcintyre as to place of
residence in Belfast was false. Yet the chair
man and one of the members of the board of
registration voted to retain his name on the
list He will probably be here to vote next
spring, with others of like character.
