The Couple of Them Tight.

Charles Crookes, of New Conisborough, and Emma Crookes, his wife, were charged with having been drunk and disorderly on June 17th.

The man pleaded not guilty and the woman guilty. P.C. Jarvis said he found the woman laid helplessly drunk on the footpath and the man standing up drunk and swearing at her.

Cross-examined: Defendant offered to take his wife home. P.S. Ambler said he and Jarvis were coming along Denaby-road and heard the man swearing at his wife.

Crookes said he could not have been very drunk when he offered to take his wife home.

Crookes was fined £1, including costs, and his wife 10s., including costs.

Crookes: “How much is it both together?”—Superintendent Blake: “Thirty shillings!”—Crookes: “You’ll have to trust us.” (Laughter.)
