Mary Ann Williams, an old offender, was charged with

that she had to come before them again.
P.S. Whittaker said at 9.35 p.m. on the previous
evening he was in Dover Road, accompanied by P.C. Goundry, and when opposite
the Martello Hotel he saw the prisoner ejected by the landlord from the public
bar into the street. She fell across the pavement and cut her eye. He assisted
her to her feet and found she was under the influence of drink. She became very
abusive and made use of filthy language. They took her to the police station,
and on the way she was again abusive and made use of more filthy language. He
charged her, and she said “You are a ---- liar”.
Continuing, witness said at 8.35 the same evening he
was called by the landlord of the Gun Tavern with regard to that prisoner,
owing to her conduct there. She came outside and was quite sober. He cautioned
her and advised her to go home. She promised him she would do so.
Prisoner said she came into Folkestone to see her
daughter and get some things, and she had a drink or two. She was very sorry
she had come before them again, and if they gave her a chance she would not
trouble them any more.

before the Court on a number of occasions. She was first convicted in 1900 for
being drunk and disorderly Since then there were 40 convictions against her for
similar offences, two for felony, and four for wilful damage. She was last before
the Court on the 4th July, 1928, and they did think they had seen
the last of her. She lived down at West Hythe with her husband.
