“TIME TO PAY FINE”
“I’d like to pay the fine. Is it a fine?” asked Annie Drury, a pinkcheeked smiling little woman of 41, who stood beside Francis Felix Hagin, ten years her junior, in the dock at the Magistrate’s Court this morning—both charged with being disorderly while drunk in Wingston Street. The court smiled at her anticipation of the sentence. Constable Callaghan had seen the two standing in a doorway, he said. The woman was standing on the step striking at Hagen, and he was hitting bac kat her with his open hand. They were both drunk and were saying choice things to each other. "These two are living together,” explained Senior-Sergeant Edwards,” and when they get a few 1 rinks they apparently disagree. Annie Drury was quite right, it was a fine for both of them —30s or three days for her and £2 or five for Hagin. But they didn’t get Da&e to pay.
