THE CHANGE DID HIM NO GOOD.
According to the “Grey River Argus,” a man was charged in the Magistrate’s Court there not long since with having been on licensed premises on a Sunday. He cheerfully explained to the magistrate that whilst on his road to church he discovered that the coins he held were too large to put in the plate, and that he went into the pub. to get some small change. However, the magistrate was in a critical frame of mind, and explained to the defendant that a-quarter past eleven was the time set down against the alleged offence, and that church went in at eleven. What could a man do with a magistrate like that but pay the fine.
