I am a working man—please let me take out a prohibition order,” pleaded Edward Kelly, a native, of Ireland, 38 years of age, and described as a labourer, who came before Mr. W. F. Durward, J.P., in the Palmerston Magistrate’s Court on Thursday last, charged with being found drunk on the Palmerston North railway platform the day previous. Senior-Sergeant O'Grady stated that Kelly was a nuisance about the town. He did nothing but get drunk. This was his fourth offence for drunkenness. Accused, who pleaded guilty, was ordered to pay £3, in default seven days’ imprisonment.
