NOISY REVELLERS

HOST AND GUEST FINISH ON STREET YELLS ATTRACT POLICE Joseph Michael Brady gave a party at his home in Marrnion Street last evening. AT a late hour when the host and a ■*' guest were continuing the festivities in the street their shouting and screaming brought the police on the scene and a pleasant evening was abruptly terminated. At the Police Court this morning Brady, a fireman aged 40, and Rose Hunter, a waitress aged 35, pleaded guilty to being disorderly while drunk. “Brady has a little house in a hollow off Queen Street,” said Sub-Inspec-tor McCarthy. “He does quite a lot of entertaining and is a genera] nuisance to the police, who have had to visit the place many times lately. The last time Hunter was there she broke all the windows. She is convinced that she has a right to stay there with Brady and he thinks every now and then that he has a right to throw her cut.”

That difference of opinion, according to the Sub-Inspector, was the cause of last night’s disturbance, when Brady and Hunter were running round the street scantily clad and yelling so loudly that they could be heard in Wellesley Street several hundred yard’s away. Hunter had been rather severely handled and had a number of bruises to show as a result of the fracas.

Mr. F. H. Levien, S.M.: Which is the more to blame?

Mr. McCarthy: There is no difference between them. I have known them both for a long time and meet them more frequently than I could wish. Neither of the revellers had anything to say, and fines of £3 each were imposed, in default 14 days* imprisonment.
