Wednesday, August 25th: Before Mr. G.I.
Swoffer, Mr. G. Boyd, Alderman C.E. Mumford, Mr. A. Stace, Dr. W.W. Nuttall,
and Col. Broome-Giles.
Mary Ann Williams was charged with being been drunk
and disorderly on Tuesday, and she pleaded Guilty
P.C. Finn said that at 9.30 p.m. he was in Beach
Street, when he was called by the landlady of the Wonder public house, to a
woman in the public bar who was creating a disturbance. He went there, and saw
prisoner, who was drunk, having an altercation with a man. He asked her to
leave, and with assistance he ejected her. She went into the Jubilee public
house, where he stopped her being served, and she was ejected. She then went into
the Oddfellows, and became violent, and made use of filthy language. With
assistance he took her to the police station.
Defendant: I am very sorry that it occurred again,
and I hope you will lenient with me.
The Clerk: I think I have heard you say that about
twenty times.
Defendant: I
lost control of my mind.
Do you belong to the Army now? – Yes. I belong to
it still.
The Clerk: I don’t know whether you want the list
of her convictions; it is as long my arm.
Inspector Pittock said the last occasion was on the
7th July last year.
The Clerk: And I think the Army probably got hold
of her again.
Mr. A.D.Z. Holmes (Police Court Missioner) said defendant had had one lapse, and after the numerous number of convictions it was not easy for her to
go straight all at once. If the Magistrates could see their way to be lenient with her he would
interview the Army officials himself. He understood trade had not been very good lately,
and he thought the woman had had a serious temptation.
The Chairman said
the Magistrates were very pleased to hear defendant had not been before them so
frequently this last year or two. They would give her another chance and adjourn the case for a month to see how she
went on, and they hoped she would continue with the Salvation Army, and turn
over a new leaf. She had one more chance.
Defendant was
bound over in the sum of £5 to appear in a month`s time.

Wednesday, August 25th: Before Mr. G.I. Swoffer,
Mr. G. Boyd, Alderman C. Ed. Mumford, Mr. A. Stace, Dr. W.W. Nottall, and
Colonel P. Broome-Giles.
Mary Ann Williams was charged with being drunk and
disorderly in Radnor Street on Tuesday.
P.S. Thorne said at 9.30 p.m. on Tuesday evening he was in
Beach Street, when he was called to the public bar at the Wonder Tavern.
Prisoner was there, and she was drunk. He asked her to leave, but she refused
to do so. He had her ejected. Prisoner then went to the Jubilee Inn, where he
again had her ejected. Then prisoner went to the Oddfellows Inn, where she
became abusive. He took her into custody.
Prisoner said she was very sorry, and that it would not
occur again.
The Magistrates` Clerk: I have heard you say that twenty
times. Turning to the Magistrates, Mr. Andrew said: You do not want the list of
previous convictions, I suppose? It is as long as my arm.
Mr. A.D.Z. Holmes (the Police Court Missionary) said since
joining the Salvation Army the prisoner had only had one lapse, and that was in
July last year. It was not easy for the prisoner to go straight at once. He
would interview the Salvation Army officials.
The Chairman said the Magistrates were glad to hear that the
prisoner had not been so frequently before them as she used to be. They were
going to give her another chance. The case would be adjourned for one month to
see how she got on. If she behaved herself during that time they would very
probably not punish her. The Magistrates hoped she would continue her
association with the Salvation Army.
