BEGGING IN STREET
SEAMAN SENT TO GAOL A “DRY-LAND” SAILOR John Dawson O’Brien has been pestering pedestrians in Albert Street with requests for “tanners” and cigarettes. He will worry them no more for three months. O'Brien, a seaman, aged 43, pleaded not guilty at the Police Court this morning to being idle and disorderly, having begged alms in Albert Stree't. Constable Slater remembered having seen O’Brien accosting people in the street many times. O’Brien: 1 may have asked for cigarettes, but not money. Lately I have been working in the country, but I am really a seafaring man. , Chief-Detective Hammond: A sailor that won’t go to sea. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.: You take three months. “AH right, sir,” assented O’Brien brightly as he left the dock.
