From the Court Notes of a Local Reporter

In court at 9 o'clock apart from me there are a few old ladies who have come to sit in the warm, and a class of 14-15-year-olds with their teacher.

9.05. Court starts. First case is Henry P., 47, divorced, charged with being drunk. He refused to leave a pub at closing time and caused a bit of damage when the police tried to arrest him. P. said he had had an argument with his boss and could not face going home to an empty flat.

9.20. Mrs. F., 72, shoplifting. Mrs. F. had stolen a frozen chicken, which she had hidden under her hat. The chicken was so cold that she felt unconscious, otherwise she would probably not have been caught. Mrs. F., in tears, says she had not eaten meat for three weeks. It turns out that, although she has the old age pension, she does not know about other forms of support.

9.40. Peter D., 19. D. stole, or rather 'borrowed' a motor-cycle, intending, he said, to give it back to the owner after trying it out. D.'s father is at sea and the mother is left to bring up four children, of whom Peter is the eldest, by herself.

10.10. Mrs. A., 45, a doctor's wife, president of a local ladies' club, was caught leaving a fashion shop wearing two dresses, only one of which belonged to her. Admitting that she had wanted to steal the dress, she could not explain why.
