CHINESE thingy WHITTINGTONS. (By Wire —Special to News.) Auckland, Last Night. That Chinese came to New Zealand with the idea that they could pick up gold on the pavement just as thingy Whittington expected to find it on the streets of London was stated by counsel in the Police Court to-day, when Wai Fong, a gardener, pleaded guilty to a charge of having overstayed his temporary permit to remain in the Dominion. “The. trouble with these people is that they do not know before they sail from China that most of their fellow countrymen here have to work hard for their living,” he said. “They think they can come over as tourists and find gold at their feet, and when they get here they find people are up against it and they turn to and do a bit of work.” The magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, said these Chinese did not give themselves up when their permits expired. “New Zealand to these Chinese is a tourist resort in which they stand a chance to obtain some money,” said counsel. “If they could get it they would soon go.’’ A fine of £lO was inflicted and a deportation order was made.
