FOLLY TWICE PUNISHED. —John Hartell, labourer, was charged with refusing to quit the Horse and Jockey Inn, Upper Gornal, when requested to do so by the landlord, and with wilfully breaking a pane of glass.—The defendant went into the public house when drunk, and called for a pint of beer, and the landlord asked him to leave the house, he refused to do so. Defedant was afterwards so exasperated with complainant, owing to his having refused to supply him with beer, that he deliberately thrust his right arm through a pane of glass.—Defendant said he was sorry for having committed the offence, and added that his arm had been seriously injured in consequence of his drunken freak.—The Bench said that had not defendant been already punished by having his arm injured, they should have fined him £5. Fined 5s and costs for each offence, and 3s, damage, or one months imprisonment.
