FROM DOCK TO ALTAR
BRIDE AIDED BY POLICE A young woman, aged 19, employed at a Worthing hotel in England, found an unexpected friend in a police-ser-geant who had to arrest her recently on a charge of theft. Learning on his arrival at th© police station that the girl was to be married later in the afternoon, the sergeant, with the full concurrence of his superintendent, rushed off on his motor-cycle and arranged with a local magistrate and the magistrate’s clerk to hold a special sitting of the Police Court. Returning to the station, the sergeant conveyed the girl in his sidecar to the Town Hall, where she was formally remanded on her own recognisances for eight days. Not content with this hustling of magisterial procedure, he then took her in his sidecar hack to the hotel in time for her to make a hurried change of dress and leave for the church for her wedding as originally arranged.
