Five minutes later he again visited the house with the Provost Marshall and he purchased two more glasses beer, for which he paid 4d. Capt Lousada, the APM, said he had had defendant's house under observation for a considerable time and he had seen men come away from the house in an intoxicated condition. Mr Norton, in mitigation, said the Military Police had been in the habit of coming to her house for supper. She had served them with supper and they had paid for it, and she had sold the a glass of beer without realising the seriousness of it. She had not made a regular practice of it. Defendant, on oath, said she had committed the offence in ignorance. The Magistrate imposed a fine of £5. |
