DRINK OR AGUE?
PINT POTS FLY IN A PRESTON BEERHOUSE
LANDLORD FINED FOR DRUNKENNESS
At Preston Police Court, this morning, Thomas Henry Know, licensee of the Robin Hood beerhouse, Atkinson Street, was summoned for being drunk on his licensed premises and for assaulting Thomas Bentham.
Mr. Blackhurst, who prosecuted, stated that on the afternoon of August 22nd, two men named Bentham and Dagger called at the house. The defendant was drunk and using filthy language to his wife. Bentham remonstrated with Knox, who retorted by throwing two pint cups at his head, and inflicting injuries which necessitated medical treatment. Witnesses would say that the man was "mad drunk," and behaved like a perfect fool.
Thomas Bentham, a chair repairer, living in Manchester Road, gave corroborative evidence, and in reply to Mr. Ambler, who defended, said Mrs. Knox had given him a sovereign to settle the case. Re-examined by Mr. Blackhurst, the witness said he had been subpoenaed to attend by the police, and had slept at the Robin Hood last night.
Witnesses were called who stated that Knox threw the cups and inflicted the injuries, but denied that there had been any trouble between the customers or that more pots were thrown.
Detective Bridge said he went to the beerhouse and found the defendant laid on a bed upstairs apparently asleep. Mr. Know told him the people who had run out of the house on the witness's entry had been throwing pots all over the place, and the appearance of the house suggested that this statement was true. In reply to Mr. Ambler, the witness said that Mrs. Knox had complained that her husband was rather strange at times since he returned from South Africa.
Mr. Ambler suggested that this was a concocted story on the part of Bentham. He said the defendant "suffered from the effects of the South African sun," and on this day had an attack of ague.
The defendant and his wife denied the charge of drunkenness, and said Bentham received his injuries through persons in the house throwing cups about.
The Bench was unanimously of the opinion that the case had been proved, and imposed a fine of 10 shillings and costs.
Bentham was then asked if he desired to proceed with the charge of assault, and he retorted, "Well, no; I won't be hard with anyone, though they were hard with me."
The summons was thereupon withdrawn.
