Disorderly Denaby Men.
Charles Wright, Thomas Wilks, Job Willis, Enoch Rigby, and Leonard Rigby, all Denaby miners, were summoned at Doncaster on Tuesday for being drunk and disorderly at Denaby on July 5. Job Wilks and Enoch Rigby appeared, the former admitting the offence and the latter saying he was “only disorderly.”
P.c. Bowden said he was with two other police officers at 11.45 p.m. when they saw the defendants, who were drunk, fighting.
P.s. Huck said the men were “fighting in a heap,” and they had great difficulty in getting them away.
Enoch Rigby said he was standing in his doorway when the others shouted at him that they would shoot him. Next morning they apologised.
The Chairman (Mr. Hinclicliffe) : When you went to the police they advised you to go home?—Yes.
You must have a lot of money to go about and get drunk and create a disturbance. You must learn to spend your money properly.
The defendant were fined as follows: Charles Wright 15s., Thomas Wilks 12s., Job Wilks 9s, Enoch Rigby 9s., Leonard Rigby 12s,
