COURT CASES
When James Seerey was arrested on Tuesday evening last, a pair of socks, to which were attached clothes pegs, were found in his pockets. He was charged with the theft of the articles from some person unknown, but pleaded not guilty. He said the Bocks were his own, and that he was in the habit of carrying them round in his pocket so that his mates on board ship would not take them. He was remanded so that enquiries could be made. Unfortunately for Seerey the housekeeper at the Catholic Presbytery in Boulcott-stroet was able to positively identify tho socks as a pair she had knitted herself, and which she missed from the t clothes line. There was something distinctive about the socks, and she was positive they were hers. Seerey was sent to gaol for seven days. Edward Reid pleaded not guilty 'to the theft of a rug valued at £2 .ss, the property of Edward Reynolds. He was remanded until to-morrow. One first-offending inebriate was convicted and discharged. Mr. D. G. A. Cooper, S.M., was on the Bench.
