State v. Hall

Flanagan, C. P. J.

This is an appeal from the Family Court of the City of Newark.

The statute under which this prosecution is brought (R. S. 2:202-16; N. J. S. A. 2:202-16) provides, in so far as we are concerned with it, that any person who shall “be apprehended * * * who cannot give a good account of himself * * * and who is in this state for an unlawful purpose, shall be adjudged a.disorderly person. * * * The fact that the person apprehended cannot give a good account of himself * * • * shall be prima facie evidence that he is present in this state for an unlawful purpose.”

It can be of no…
