It was alleged that the two men spoke to Phyllis Evelyn Borton, of Westbourne Park Villas, Ja Queen's- road, Bayswater, on the night of September 19 and that they also tried to take hold of her arms.
Said She Was Married Cross-examined by Sir Henry Curtis-Bennett, K.C., Miss Borton said that she gave the name of hirs. James Sinclair at the police court and said she was married, but she was not in fact married.
Sir Henry: Did you hear the Magistrate say that he was very sorry he must convict because it was inconceivable that any respectable woman could have behaved as it was alleged you did?-1 ald.
In further cross-examination she denied that she used bad language to the two men.
Both appellants in the witness-box denied that they spoke to Miss Borton. They said that she pushed between them as they were walking along, said something abusive, and spat at them. They were on their way home when they were arrested.
"A Dangerous Practice"
It was stated that both appellants were men of the highest character.
Addressing the court, Sir Henry Curtis-Bennett referred to what he dangerous called the somewhat
practice of not publishing names. This woman ivas allowed at the police court to write down on a plece of paper what her husband was.
He agreed it was essential in blackmail cases that the name of a prosecutor should not be given, but in this sort of case it was of the highest importance that the tri- bunal should know who the person
was.
That woman, he added, had given a false name and falsely described herself as a married woman.
