the Workhouse some time ago, but he re­ fused fo go to toe doctor or nurse to hai-e rt dressed. Ytoen asked bv tire Chairman ol toe Board if his name rvas George Col- hnge toe pri.soner .said he wa|s sorry it sa.v it was. When told bv the Chaiirman th.a.t he had been reported for b.ad conduct he went round toe table to show him his leg.

s being reported. He also shouted and


cursed witaiess in the Board Roomi He was taken out of the room cursing and shouting and making a. distuiibance'. The elder man made accusations against the Master and roundly oursefl the Board, and wtoem requested by the Chairman to leave' the room he refused to do .so. ■ The younger prisoner said he had been


ivdl brought up iln OlitheroJe aud ku’ow how to beh.ave himself. '


When asked by toe Magistrates’ Clerk


ivhy he was in the Yforkhouse he .said he want there because he was getting into bad company. He asked the Clerk to give him some aldvidla.


hfagistrates’ Cleirk: My advice to vou is


to work honourably and profitably’ and keep out of toe public house. 'The Chairmaini said it was rather a pity to see an old man 76 years of age in the


dock, but they must have disciplilnie .at the Workhouse. i'he Chief Constable s.a.id the elder ma,n


was before the Court in Jime for begging, but was dilscharged with a caution. The younger one was sent to prison foy 14 days with hard labour for misb'ehaviour at the Workhouse in June 1905. The Chairman said toey would be obliged


to make an example of them, toey were bound to do it. The elder mam .ivould have to go to prison, for seven days wjcn- out hard labour, and toe voulnger for 21 days. With reference to toe task toe youngeir pristmer would hav’e to discharge they would leave that in toe hondte of toe doctor taking into conside|-ation his .leg and the state 'Of his health. Prisoners created a sc'ane when lear-ing the court, hurling imprec.ilions at the iieads of every­ body concerned.


ACCIDENT IN Y O E l f STEEET. MOTOR CAR AND TRAP COLLIDE. An accident which might liave been at­

Thie owner of the car wais Mr. Bury, manufac­ turer. Accrington aind there were two Mies and the drivel in toe car in addiittion to the oavner. The inr .slfcuck the off wheel of the vehide with, such force as to com­ pletely rvweck it. Both men 'were thrown out of the trap a.nd were uncbnisc'ious when picked up. Tliey were carried into toe surgeryi of Dr. Rass, close by. 'where it was found that Holgate was badly lacerated .about the head and the scalp was aJ.so topn. Tobay appeared to be suffering more from .shuck, .ailtoongli he loo sustained several cUls and bniis(«i ;ihout the head. The horse avas uniiijurerl and though'the front axle of the motor car was bent it was able to pi'oceed on its journ'ey. After receiv­ ing attenition the men were removed to their respeoth'e homes in cabs.
