a cannabis bush; and £85 for possession of ampheta­ mine sulphate. He was also ordered to pay £35 costs. He pleaded guilty to the offences.


Prosecutor Miss Lesley


Rossall said that the police, who were acting on information received, went to the rear of the house and found no one inside and the door wide open. While searching the property, O’Neill’s wife returned and was present while they continued the search. The shotgun was found


on the top shelf in a ward­ robe in the bathroom and a small white tablet and a quantity of cannabis bush were also in the house. Miss Rossall said that O’Neill told police that he had found the shotgun in a hedgerow while walking along the river bank at Edisford. He had no inten­ tion of buying ammunition for it and, in fact, had


claimed that it was in a “rubbishy state.” The drugs, he told


police, were his, but for his personal use only. Mr David Parkinson,


representing O'Neill, said that one of his dogs had found the shotgun during the walk along the. river bank. It was in pieces in the plastic bag. He took it to his wife’s


home — the couple were separated — about two weeks b e fo re police searched the house, but he did not know why he had taken it there. On the day the police


went to the house, he had been out drinking and accepted he had had too much to drink. He decided to visit his wife and, when she was not there, he made himself a meal. Mr Parkinson said there


had never been any sug­ gestion that there was ammunition with the gun and the drugs found were of a very small amount.

■ the boot. Mr Floyd is eager to


trace the whereabouts of the waistcoat, which has wide rounded lapels and six green and red buttons down the front. Anyone with information is asked to contact C litheroe Police.
