Police Court
Wednesday, December 21.
(Before Mr. F, A. Ridley, P.M.)
THROWING STONES,
George Cook was charged that he
did on the night of Saturday, 3rd De-
cember, throw a missile on the roof of
the Royal Hotel.
Defendant pleaded not guilty.
John William Bradwell deposed:
I am a constable of police stationed at
Burrowa; at 11.35 p.m. on Saturday
night, 3rd Dec last, I was on duty in
Brial Street ; saw the defendant and
another man go to the side door of the
Royal Hotel and knock ; they after-
wards went round through the gate at
the side of the hotel ; I then heard two
stones, thrown one after another, lodge
on the roof of the Royal Hotel ; I ran
around to the gate where defendant
and the other man went, through, and
heard two persons running across the
gravel yard towards the printing office ;
I went around to the front of the office
in Brial Street, and saw through the
window defendant, and another man in
the printing office ; I waited for a few
minutes and they came out ; I said to
the man who was with defendant
" What is your name," and he replied
'Cecil Cramp, I live at Crookwell ;'
I asked him where he was staying, and
he said at the Royal Hotel ; I told
him to get away home to bed ; he
moved away about 5 yards ; I then
told defendant to get away home out
of this, and also told him that I had
caught him at last ; defendant said
" I will please myself , " I then went
back to Cramp and he said ' Please
Mister, don't summons me, it was
George Cook who threw the stones ;'
I then went back to Cook and escorted
him up to his gate.
To Senior-sergeant Scott : There was
no one else about the street at the
time ; Cramp was working at Spring-
field, and only had his horse in the
hotel stable.
To the Bench : I could not say
where defendant was standing when
the stones fell on the roof ; stonethrow-
ing over in that direction has been go-
ing on for a long time.
To defendant : The gate you went
through leads into the printing office
yard, bat there is a gate from that
yard into the hotel yard ; I could see
through the printing office window, as
there was only a sheet of paper up,
and a candle burning inside ; I saw
you and another man go up towards
the Queens' Arms Hotel, before that ;
I did not see you and Cramp come out
of the Royal Hotel.
Annie Crawford deposed that she
managed the Royal Hotel, Burrowa,
for her mother, who is the licensee ;
remember Saturday night, 3rd Decem-
ber ; there were some stone thrown
on the roof between the; hours of half
past eleven and twelve ; I was going
to bed at the time ; I could not say
how many stones were thrown ; I was
both frightened and annoyed ; I saw
defendant in the bar at closing time.
To defendant : Several young men
went out of the bar with you at closing
time ; I did not notice whether you
were intoxicated or not when you left
the hotel.
Cecil Cramp deposed that he was a
laborer, and resided at Crookwell ; he
was at present working at Springfield ;
remember Saturday night, 3rd inst ;
he was with defendant that night, and
heard two stones fall on the roof of the
Royal Hotel ; I could not say for cer-
tain who threw the stones ; we walked
up to the printing office, door, and just
as I was insider the door, I heard the
stones fall on the roof ; defendant was
about 8 yards from the printing office,
door ; CunstableBradwell asked me if
I threw any stones ; I told him that
George Cook must have, thrown them,
as I didn't ; I did not see anyone
about at the time when the stones
were thrown : it was about half-past
eleven ; I told Constable Bradwell
that I was staying at the Royal
Hotel ; I was not stopping the night ;
when Constable Lord served me with a
subpoena, he said " Cook mast have
been silly to throw those stones," and
I said ' Yes ;' I had a talk with Cook
this morning, but no other since the
occurrence ; we went into the printing
office to get some matches from Arthur
Satchell ; I do not know anyone at the
printing office ; there is a gate leading
from the printing office yard into, the
hotel yard.
To defendant : There were others
came out of the hotel with you and I,
at closing time ; we went up to the
refreshment room, and afterwards
came back and went into the printing
office, where we were about half an
hour.
Arthur Compton Satchell, composi-
tor, employed at the " Burrowa Times "
Office, deposed : I know defendant ;
remember Saturday night, 3rd inst ;
Cook and a stranger came into the
printing office that night ; he knocked
at the door and asked me to let him
in ; I sleep on the premises ; I did not
notice who came is first: they did not
ask for any matches ; it is nothing un-
usual for defendant to come in at that
hour ; they did not stop long ; there is
yard at the back of the office.
To defendant: No one could see
through the printing office window.
The defendant said that be had no
witnesses to call, and he did not wish
to give evidence.
The P.M. found the case proved,
