Dustmen Fined For Assault
Two scavenging contractors, Dennis and Joseph McDonald, were lined 40s. and 30s. respectively, at Doncaster yesterday, for assaulting Harold Humphries, a greengrocer, of Church street, Conisborough.
Humphries was loading his dray in the yard, when the two McDonalds came to empty the bins. Instead of taking the bins outside, they tipped the refuse from one bin to the other, with the result that it flew over Humphries’ goods.
When he remonstrated, they assaulted him.
