Defendant:- What difference is there between disorderly conduct and misbehaviour?

Mr. Simpson:- Not much.

Defendant:- Am I summoned for misbehaviour?

The Chairman:- Disorderly conduct his misbehaviour.

Defendants supposed he might as well plead guilty.

P.C. Brooks deposed that on the evening in question two men were put out of the "Grosvenor," as being the worse for drink. They got several people round and. One of the men was locked up, and he advised the defendant, who was the other one to go away. Some people got him away after considerable difficulty, but he subsequently returned to the bar and used bad language.

Defendants admitted having a little beer, but said he was taking the part of a friends, who he considered had been "put out" too roughly. He was going to report the police for unnecessary violence, and they pushed him away.

The Chairman:- You being drunk at the time?

Defendant:- I was a little "beery."

The Chairman:- I call that being drunk.
