A CANNY SCOT
HAGGLES OVER FINE WANTED TIME TO PAY “Yes, I’m not used to drink —I had two port wines yesterday, and they went to my head,” said a burly Scot, who was charged at the Police Court to-day with drunkenness. After he had been convicted he asked for a week to pay his 10s fine. “Are you in regular employment?” asked the ’ magistrate, Mr. W. R. McKean. “Yes,”, replied accused, and I’ve got money in the bank.” “Well, you can pay your fine in less than seven days,” said the magistrate. “But I don’t like drawing money from the bank,” replied accused. “I’m afraid you’ll have to take it out and put it back next Friday,” said the magistrate.
