Milford Haven Sessions. HEAVY FIXES FOR KEEPING I DISORDERLY HOUSE. FOOD OVERCHARGES. I Nearly sixty cases were down for hearing'— I before Col. W. R. Roberts (in the chair), and I Messrs. A. Cole, L. J. Meyler, a.nd W. John- at Milford cessions on Wednesday. I A BLOT ON MILFORD. Catherine Harvey, of 10, Pill Road, Milford, was summoned for allowing her house to be used as a brothel on the 16th November and previous dates. .-Florence Pipe and Sarah Biggs, both of 10, Road, and Privates Albert Hayward and Albert Hannal, of Fort Scoveston, were charged with aiding and abetting Catherine Harvey. P.C's. Miles and Morgan and P.S. Treharne gave evidence, the details of which are unfit for publication. The defendants did not elect to give evidence, but put certain questions relatively unimport- ant. The Bench retired to consider their decision, and during their absence the defendants, Pipe and Biggs kept up a loud conversation and appeared absolutely indifferent both to the dis- graceful charge against them and the penalty which might be inflicted. It is to be regretted that there are men and women of Milford Haven who are ready-indeed apparently eager—to remain in court to hear the sordid and disreputable details such as were unfolded to the court in this case. The magistrates, on resuming their seats, in- flicted a fine of zio or two months imprison- ment on Catherine Harvey; fines of 1-5 or one month's imprisonment on Florence Pipe and Sarah Biggs, and penalties of Li on each of the defendants Hayward and Hannall. OVERCHARGE ON SALMON. Harry Browne executive officer of the Milford Haven Food Control Committee, summoned Mary Maria Williams, of 25, Robert Street, for, selling salmon at a price above the maximum. Marion Hawkins (divisional inspector) gave evi- dence of having been overcharged £ d. on a tin of salmon purchased at defendant's shop on the 12th November. Defendant appeared, and, in admitting the offence, stated that her young son, aged 15, had sold the salmon to the Inspector. Fined 2s. 6d. FISHY. Timothy Thomas, of 133, Charles Street, was summoned for selling salmon at above the maximum price and for not displaying a price- list in the shop. Marion Hawkins (divisional inspector) proved a purchase at defendant's shop on the 12th November at ld. over the maximum price. She saw no price-list in the shop. Defendant said the overcharge was due to a mistake, and the witness was wrong in saying there was no price-list posted in the shop. It was close to where the salmon was kept. Fined 2s. 6d. for overcharging; second charge dismissed. SAD. Mary Jane Saunders, a married woman living at Pill, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly in Hamilton Terrace on the 3rd "December.-P.O. 71 proved the case and a fine of 7s. 6d. was inflicted.
