SOMEBODY’S COAT
MAN UNABLE TO REMEMBER ITS ORIGIN
REMANDED FOR CLEAN-UP Found in the Domain yesterday wearing a coat which he said had come his way from a source he has forgotten, Michael Lind was arrested. At the Police Court this morning he was charged with vagrancy and using obscene language. He was remanded for a week to be cleaned up and to allow tho police to make an effort to find the owner of the coat. Lind, a painter, aged 40, pleaded not guilty on a charge of being idle and disorderly, having insufficient lawful means of support and using obscene language in Domain Drive yesterday. He wore several days’ growth of black beard.
Sub-Inspector McCarthy said that the man had been found in the Jlomain. He had done no work during the last few weeks and wanted a clean-up. He was wearing a coat but said that he had forgotten where he found it. The sub-inspector asked for a remand so that the owner of the coat could be found. “It will do him no harm,” he said regarding Lind. Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M.: It will do him good.
