ALWAYS IN TROUBLE
THREE MONTHS’ GAOL FOR VAGRANT HIS 56TH CONVICTION Said to be always in trouble, Daniel Keane was sentenced to three months’ imprisonment fur vagrancy when he appeared at the Polioe Court this morning. It was his 56th conviction. Keane, a labourer, aged 50. pleaded guilty to being idle and disorderly, having insufficient lawful means of support. Sub-Inspector McCarthy said he had been found sleeping in an empty house at half an hour past midnight. He had been resting on a pile of old papers and was smoking. The danger was that such men as he, wandering about aimlessly in a halfdrunken state, might start to smoko and set fire to empty buildings. Consulting Keane’s list, the magistrate remarked that he had 55 previous convictions. In 1927 he had spent five months In gaol.
