TOO LAZY TO WALK. Arthur Ohilcott, 37, described as a labourer, of no fixed abode,, was charged at Kingston-on-Thames with refusing to perform his allotte d tp.sk of stone breaking whilst he was a casual inmate of the Kingston Union Workhouse. The labour master told the Court that when put on the usual task of breaking scwt of stone, prisoner refused to do it, although the doctor had certified .him as being fit and ■strong. Asked -If he had any questions to put, prisoner, after languidly looking up and down the floor of the Court, and allowing his gaze to wander to the Royal arms over the Chairman’s seat, coughed leisurely, and in measured tones, with yawns, replied, “It is quite right what he says. ’ ’ The Chairman: Why didn’t you do your work? —No answer. You don’t like work, do yon?— Same result. Mr E. B. Lewin Mill, J. P. : You would rather live at the expense of the ratepayers? Prisoner did not answer this either, and the labour master told thejjjustices that the acousedfhad informed the master of the workhouse that he would rather go to prison. In April last year prisoner was sentenced to 18 months’ hard labour as a rogue and vagabond, and there was a long list of convictions against him, but he only smiled at the court as the various offences were enumerated by the warrant officer. The latter told the justices that on one occasion accused was charged in error at the adjourned Quarter Session as a rogue and a vagabond, and when the court ordered his discharge prisoner refused to take his liberty, and it was'ouly with difficulty that they could get him to leave the court. For twelve years aoonsed served in the Marines, but since his discharge in 1901 he had [done no work. In fact, 'concluded the officer, “he is too idle to work and likes being in prison. ’ ’ | The chairman (to prisoner): What do you think of that for ’a record? Prisoner’s only reply was a broad smile. Eventually prisoner was sentenced to 31 day’s hard labour. He stepped languidly out of the dock taking another look at the Royal arms over the ohairman’sjseat before he was removed. The police had to assist him through the streets of the town to the police station—walking apparently being too much of Jan eir ertion for him unaided—prior to his making the railway journey to Brixton prison. No one need new suffer the agonizing pains of sciatica and acute rheumatism, as quick relief may be had by applying ! Chamberlain’s Fain Balm. This fact has ' been clearly demonstrated ia many thou- i sands of eases. This liniment relieves the pain and makes sleep and rest pos- i siblo, which is alone worth many times ; its cost.
