EVICTION RESENTED
AMERICAN’S REVENGE CONVICTED OF ASSAULT The determination of Guy Carney, an American, aged 25, to be revenged on the head porter of the Waverley Hotel, who had evicted him from the bar for creating a disturbance, resulted in his conviction at the Police Court this morning on a charge of assault.
Albert Percival Walker said that he had evicted Carney, who was fighting in the public bar. When he returned, Carney followed him, and hit him on the mouth, breaking his dental plate. Prisoner, who adopted a rather trucculent attitude in the dock, asserted that he had witnesses to prove that he was not drunk. Mr. McKeAn: Are your witnesses in court? Carney: Yes, there’s Joe. and that red-lieaded chap over there. Mr. McKean: Call them. The two witnesses, however, gave no evidence in regard to the assault, confining themselves to a description of the events that led up to Carney’s eviction from the bar. Carney, who was convicted of theft on June 6, and ordered to come up for sentence when called upon, was remanded for sentence until to-morrow.
