"MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK."
ELDERLY MAN'S EXCUSE. UNLAWFULLY ON PREMISES. ijLVEX HIS LAST CHANCE. ••1 u:*ist have been drunk, that's all," wa- the excuse advanced by Frank Eyre (60). who was before the Police Court this morning on a charge of being found without lawful excuse on premises in Hobson Street. Eyre was found sleeping in a shed at the back of a boardinghouse, so the police said. The keeper of the boardinghouse stated that accused had previously stayed in the house, but she had to tell him to leave on account of his habits. "I've just come in from the bush and have been drinking heavily. I've got a good billet and I ask for just one chance," said Eyre. '•Very well," said Mr. Hunt. "You will be convicted and ordered to come up for sentence when called upon."'
