FEW WORDS TO DOGS
FINED FOR LANGUAGE
j A few words that he used to some dogs that were annoying him by barking resulted in a charge of using obscene language being made against Joseph Richard McKeown at the Police Court this morning. McKeown, a seaman aged 59, pleaded guilty and also admitted being found drunk in Napier Lane yesterday. “I have a job to go to, so don’t send me to gaol,” he pleaded. “I have been out of work for a long time.” Sub-Inspector McCarthy said accused’s language when addressing the dogs had been audible to people in the lane. He was an old offender, but had not been before the court for some time. McKeown was fined 5s for drunkenness and £l, in default three days* imprisonment, for using the language.
