John Lennan, aged 41, who was bailed out on the sum of £2. did not appear to share the responsibility of the second charge. “South appeared to be the aggressor,” said the constable who arrested the men. “He abused tho other man, who retaliated forcibly.” Fines of £1 on the first charge and £2 on the second were imposed on South. “The other man seemed quite a decent chap,” said Sub-Inspector McCarthy. “He is employed on & scow which sailed this morning, and his appearance here would have cost him his job.
