ATTACKED TWO MEN
FULL OF BEER AND FIGHT SEAMAN FINED £4 Staggering into a Hobson Street restaurant last evening, “full of beer and fight,” to quote SeniorSergeant O’Grady, Dave Gillis attacked two men who were sufficiently venturesome to suggest that he might behave himself. Gillis, a seaman, aged 22, pleaded guilty at the Police Court this morning on charges of assaulting William Henry Dwyer and John McLean Clark yesterday. The senior-sergeant described Gillis as “mad drunk.” When the two men had remonstrated with him in the restaurant, he had struck both of them, one in the eye and the other in the mouth. Gillis was fined £2 on each charge and ordered to pay witnesses’ expenses. Default of the fine was fixed at 14 days’ imprisonment.
