HEAVIER IjENALtlES. During next ]week the whole]


of the Special Constabulary, in addition to the regular members of the Borough Police Force,, will be deputed to see tliat the black-out [regulations are] carried out. '


[ This announcement was made at the Borough Sessions, yesterday, by 1 the Chief Clonstable, after a number ]


of cases had been] heard In which defendants were [fined for permitt­


ing lights to be displayed from their riremlses during the hours of dark­ ness. Defendants who appeared were fined 10s.; those who did not j appear. 15s. The Mayor (Coun­ cillor F. Bentham). who presided,] Mr. W. Standring,'and Mrs. Hlgsonj were the Magistrates.


[ The Mayor said the Bench were] seriously concerned at the number of cases with which they had to deal, and particularly. In present circumstances when there were so many air raids. , He had been asked to make it clear that future offenders would] be seriously] punished.


; “ A WICKED SHAME.” The Chief Constable (Mr. F. K.j


Exelby) said he had pressed for heavy penalties for some time. So far as the police; were concerned, they were determined to enforce


the regulations in the ;most rigid manner. It was nls Inteption dur­ ing the next we.ek or twb; to call out the whole of'[the Special Con-ji stabulary, as well as the regular; Police, to . watch . for black-out] offences. “ I have seen people] switch on their lights, after black­ out time when the blinds have only] been transparent. People ofteni open the ^oor, bidding friends good-; night, quite tegardless of the black­ out. These are gross and serious offences to-day,” j he said. “ It Is] a wicked shame ithat the lives of] people should ] be jeopardised; through the fault of the minority who are careless! and wilful.”
