Hubbard, J’s P., in the Police Court on Wednesday that he had come here to work and got drunk celebrating a re-union with a man he had known overseas, was convicted and discharged. He explained that the incident had cost him his job. Sergeant Farrell, who prosecuted, said the police had picked Forbes up in Toroa Street on Tuesday evening and locked him up.
