FOUND IN CAR.
DISORDERLY MAN REMANDED.
''I plead guilty, but I would like to say that I have been just three weeks out of employment," said John Patrick Keown, a fireman, 32, in the Police Ccmrt this morning, answering a charge of being idle and disorderly with insufficient means of support.
Sub-Inspector Shanahan, who prosecuted, said that last night about 10 p.m. a constable on duty in Victoria Street saw accused trying to open the doors of cart parked in the street. He eventually-opened one and got into the vehicle. When asked for an explanation by the constable, accused eaid he had no right to be there. Apparently, said the sub-inspector, he was going to stop the night there.
Staff-Major Holmes recommended that accused be remanded for a week, "to get the liquor out of him."
Mr. F. K. Hunt: Very well, I'll do that. (To accused): I'll speak to you then.
Accused was remanded until September 2.
