GAOL HIS ONLY HOME
THREE MONTHS FOR VAGRANT TRIED HIM EVERYWHERE “We have tried him everywhere,” said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.. of Peter Bradley at the Police Court this morning. "They will not take him on the Island or in any home, and the Charitable Aid Board can find no accommodation for him.” Bradley, a miner, aged 56, was charged with being disorderly while drunk in the Workmen’s Home, Lome Street, yesterday. He admitted being drunk but complained that he had been unfairly treated by the police. “They have kicked me all over,” he said. It was stated that Bradley had been found in the home beating on the door with his broken walking stick and kicking. “I wish to be tried by a Supreme Court judge,” said Bradley, but sentence of three months’ imprisonment had already been imposed.
