SCUFFLE WITH CONSTABLE
LABOURER DAMAGES UNIFORM John Fitzgerald objected to being forcibly removed from an hotel yesterday and his vigorous protest resulted in the tearing of Constable Collins’s trousers. Fitzgerald pleaded guilty at the Police Court this morning to resisting arrest and damaging a uniform to the extent of 335. According to Sub-Inspector McCarthy, Fitzgerald had refused to leave an hotel when requested to do so. Constable Collins took a hand and a scuffle ensued, the constable having rather a bad time. Fines of £2, in default seven days, and 335, the amount of the damage, with a similar default, were imposed. On a further charge of being found drunk in Hobson Street, Fitzgerald was convicted and discharged.
