Parkinson and Olsen, 21 and Siyears of age, described as labourers and residents of the City Shelter, were charged with fighting in Wellesley Street at 6.45 o'clock this morning. They pleaded guilty. “Fined £ 1 each or three davs.” said Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M. Sub-Inspector Shanahan: There isn’t any chance of them paying their fines.
“Bring them back again,” said Mr Hunt.
