DOES NOT LIKE MILK

LABOURER’S “LIST” MAKES S.M. AGREE FOUND IN GIRLS’ HOSTEL Sub-1 nspector McCarthy considers it suspicious that when John Denehy makes a morning call, his unconscious host frequently misses the morning milk. Denehy, a labourer, aged 44, p # ided not guilty at the Police Court this morning to being found on the premises of the Girls’ Friendly Society. Constable Haye said that he had visited the hostel as a result of a complaint. Denehy had then explained that he was looking for bottles, though he had admitted visiting the place some time before, on a morning, in fact, when the milk had been missing. Denehy had nothing to say, and the sub-inspector remarked on the fact that the milk was often missing from houses where Denehy had been seen.

Denehy: Milk is of no use to me. Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M. (studying Denehy’s list>: It does not look like it.

Mr. McCarthy: It is the first time I have ever known Mr. Denehy to take to milk.

The magistrate remembered that he had been lenient to Denehy on Thursday, when he had let him off on payment of 2s Gd. “I did not expect to see you here to-day,” he said. Denehy: I did not expect to be here myself. A term of one month's imprisonment was imposed.
