JOKE ENDS
IN COURT
Attempt To Enter Refugee Camp
Alistair Drummond, of Messrs.
Lowe, Bingham and Matthews, D. J. Gilmore and and D. Scott ap- peared at the Central Magistracy before Mr. W. Schofield yesterday. on a summons that, not being a police officer, he took the designa- tion of such for the purpose of ob- taining admission into the Re- fugee Camp. Happy Valley.
Mr. W. H. E. Heath,. Assistant Superintendent of Police, prose- cuted, and Mr. O. E C. Marton appeared for the defence...
The summonses against Gilmore
and Scott were dismissed on Mr. Marton's submission that they had been brought "under the wrong section.
Mr. Heath said he had been in- structed by the Inspector General
to say that he had taken out the summons after much considera- tion and that he regarded the matter in a serious light. On at- count of one or two previous in- cidents at the refugee hostel extra police had been posted there, in- |cluding a Russian guard and a Po-
lice Reservist.

I submit that if your Worship feels disposed to Impose a fine, the matter is of so little public im- portance that a Ane similar to that inflicted in the Peak Party case will do. It was $1." said. Mr.

"I may add that when the de- fendant realised his practical Joke had falled he instructed his soll- citors, Messrs. Deacons, to see the LGP. and offer a donation for the Refugee centre. this being for a two-fold purpose-to compensate inconvenience they might have suffered by his visit, though there was actually none, and also for any inconvenience or annoy- ance caused the police. I submit that this summons should never have been brought at all."
any
Mr. Heath: I should like to point out that no apology was offered the police had been brought to a lot of trouble in trac- ing the defendants. It was ac- tually the action of the Russian guard who took the number of their car that enabled them to be traced, and it was only after they had been told they would be sum- moned that the apologies were offered."
Mr. Health: It is that sort of Joke that gives the police much unnecessary extra work.
His Worship imposed a fine of $10, remarking: "$10 wU do this time, but any future repetition of this kind of practical joke will certainly be more severely dealt with."
