ALL FORGOTTEN
LABOURER’S CONVENIENT MEMORY “I know absolutley nothing whatever about it,” said George Keenan, when, at the Police Court this morning, he was called on to account for his actions on Saturday afternoon. Keenan, a labourer, aged 35, was charged with being found drunk, using obscene language, and resisting a constable in the execution of his duty. It was two o’clock in the afternoon when Constable Moore attempted to arrest Keenan. The man struggled and drew a large crowd, so the constable had to ask for assistance. Keenan: Give mo a chance and I will leave town to-day. Sub-Inspector McCarthy: ITe’s had his chance. When drunk he becomes very violent. A term of one month’s imprisonment was imposed on the charge of resisting arrest.
