UNWELCOME GUESTS
PUT OUT OF HOUSE ABUSIVE TO CONSTABLE Slightly bemused with the effects of liquor unwelcome guests found their way into a Hobson Street boardinghouse last evening. With some difficulty they were ejected and one of the trespassers treated Hobson Street to a few brief but telling remarks about the constable who was taking him away. This morning at the Police Court, Robert Morton, aged 33, and John Edwards, aged 34, both firemen, pleaded guilty to being found on the enclosed premises of 137 Hobson Street without lawful excuse. Morton also admitted using obscene language. Sub-Inspector McCarthy said that the men were not too drunk to know what they were doing. “We have nothing to say,” chorused the two men, who stood in the dock apparently chewing. Fines of £2 each, in default seven days, were imposed. Morton was fined another £2 in default seven days, for using obscene language.
