MR. GORONWY ROBERTS
If my honourable Friend has in mind a boy
called
he was arrested in March 1968,
charged and convicted with riding a bicycle with a
pillion passenger, obstructing the Police and assaulting
a Police Officer. He was given a complete discharge
on the first two charges. On the third charge a
small fine was imposed with the option of one day's
imprisonment, but the time already spent on remand
was accepted in lieu of this punishment.
