Mr. Ryan
Nineteen persons were charged. Six were sentenced to terms of imprisonment, one sentence being suspended on condition that the person in question entered into a recognizance for his future good behaviour. Ten persons were fined, one of whom was also bound to the peace. The Probation of Offenders Act was applied in two cases. One charge was dismissed.
