CONSTABLE RAGGED
WILD NEW YEAR NIGHT AT ST. HELIERS
THREE MEN TO PAY NEARLY £lO Three men were fined at lie Police Court yesterday as a result of charges of disorderly behaviour and inciting to assault the police preferred against eight, men from St. Hellers. The charges against Janies Stubbs, Walter H. Brown, Leonard Glogoski, J. Harper and Alfred McLeish were dismissed. For behaving in a disorderly manner, Alexander Black was fined £3 and John Black and J. Thompson £2 each. Costs, £2 Bs, were divided among the three. In evidence yesterday Constable Collins, of St. Heliers, complained that one of the defendants had persisted in playing the bagpipes at one o’clock in the morning of January 1, in spite of his order to cease. Another man had used insulting language to him, and several had threatened to throw him in the harbour, trying to enlist the aid of visitors from the city.
Mr. C. J. Lovegrove, who appeared for defendants, suggested that the prosecutions were brought because the constable had been annoyed at being called “Old Walrus.”
