McFadden, aged 51, pleaded guilty to being found drunk in Albert Street, but denied that he was idle or disorderly. Under the classification headed employment on the charge sheet, the word “nil' was opposite McFadden’s name. According to Constable Hughes, McFadden was always begging in tin; streets. He would do no work and used obscene language to women. Accused asked for a chance. “Fined 10s. in default 4S hours’ imprisonment.'' remarked Mr. F. K. Hunt, S.M. "Thank you.” said McFadden, turning to leave the dock. * ‘•That is on the first charge,” added the magistrate. “We haven't finished vet.
