WHEN DROUGHT BROKE
SAILOR IN TROUBLE PRISON TERM IMPOSED After a dry spell at sea, John Charles Sharp misjudged his beer capacity on Saturday. This led to his being- charged at the Oneliunga Police Court to-day with drunkenness, using obscene language, and committing an indecent act in a tramcar. Sergeant Cruickshank told the justices, Messrs, jl E. Cowell and J. E. Green, that Sharp, who pleaded guilty, had refused to pay his fare, which was paid by another passenger, and that his behaviour in the car was of a most disgusting kind. There were 39 previous convictions against him. On the charge of drunkenness he was convicted and discharged, and sentenced to 14 days’ imprisonment on the other charges.
