Thursday, November 30th: Before Lieut. Col.
Hamilton, Messrs. J. Stainer, G.I. Swoffer, and G. Boyd.
Annie Hart, a respectably dressed woman, was charged
with being drunk and disorderly.
When asked to plead, witness, who had to be supported
by the female attendant in the dock, said she had only had a little tea.
P.C. Butcher said that on the previous evening at about
6.40 he was called to the George Hotel (sic), where he saw prisoner in the
private bar. She was drunk, and would not go out when requested to do so by the
landlord. With assistance, witness got her into the street, where she became
very abusive and used obscene language.
Prisoner: I dare say it is true if he says it. She
added that her husband had just died.
P.S. Simpson deposed that the prisoner was drunk and
very violent in the police station, and used obscene language.
Prisoner said she was very sorry, and would never touch
the drink again.
The Chief Constable said prisoner had been before the
Bench seven times before, six times for drunkenness, and once for obscene
language. It was only fair to say that it was five years ago since prisoner had
been charged.
Prisoner: That was when my husband was alive. He is
gone now and can`t provoke me. I won`t touch drink again.
The Chairman said that it was very disgraceful to see a
person in prisoner`s position drunk and disorderly. She would be fined 5s. and
4s. 6d. costs.
