Three days before he was due to sail for the Far East, Pte. James William Grier, R.A.M.C., Royal Military Hospital, Shorncliffe, pleaded Guilty at Folkestone Magistrates` Court on Tuesday to stealing a tankard from the White Lion Hotel, Cheriton.

“I was foolish”, he said. “I had too much to drink, and I do not know what made me take it”.

An R.A.M.C. officer said Grier took the tankard after attend­ing a farewell party.

Chief Inspector L.A. Hadlow told the magistrates that on February 23rd Mr. William Floydd Care went to the hotel, where he was a regular customer and had his own tankard. He left at 10.20 p.m. and when the barmaid collected the dirty glasses the tankard was missing.

Giving Grier a conditional discharge on payment of 15/- costs, the Chairman (Ald. W. Hollands) told him “Don’t do such a silly thing again”.
