Henry L&wson Walker, who was found in a helpless state of drnnkennesa in Tara-, naki-street, was dealt with in a similar .manner. John Willows Bailey was convicted and ordered to come up for sentence whenl called upon for having been found drunk while in charge of a horse and.cart in Dixon-street, the Magistrate agreeing to deal leniently wkh the offender, as Bailey's wife is lying seriously ill. Ernest Edward Flowerday was convicted and discharged for drunkenness, and was given the option of paying a-fine of £2 or going to gaol for a week for having broken his prohibition order.
