Hung OH THE VERANDAH POST.
Albert Eather, 19, collar maker,, was charged at Newtown Police Court with assaulting Constable Robson while in the execution of his duty at Newtown on December 29. He was further charged with using obscene language on the same date. The evidence of Constable Butcher was that in consequence of a row. which took place at the Shakespere Hotel, King-street, Newtown, about 10 p.m. on December 29, several constables had to go in to the bar.- Eather then used some very bad language to the constable, who was about to arrest him. After arrest he struck Robson twice on the side of the face, and several times about the legs. He afterwards, got hold of a verandah post and hung on, and. shouted out that he would not go with the police. At the station, when Eather was charged with using obscene language, he remarked Everyone seems to be against me, even my father and mother. Mr. Smithers, S.M., convicted; and he was fined £3 or two months hard labor on each charge.
