When Mr. Spain said he could. name .these places, the magistrate gave him an opportunity to do so. Before the matter was dropped, John mentioned three or lour names and said that two of these persons had done favors, for the local police. l While this "information" brought--smilesto. the .faces of many people in the court room, efficials of the court made no comment. - Constable Martin Horan, first person to testify in the case, said that, as a result of a complaint, he checked a car parked on the Square on Wednesday, December 11.

He denied that he sold beer to the young men or that he had any to sell to them. : 'tI think if these police looked after some of .these other outlets, they'd be making more time," snapped Mr. Spain. . He said that one bottle club, on a street which :he named in court, is being given "protection." ,.Mr. Spain claimed that he has seen, as many as 25 cars around this club. He complained: "Some of these police have- a spite against me. They'd do anything to get me." • Mr. Spain suggested that the police 'had put words in the mouths of the -other witnesses. "1 'mind my own business," de- clared John. Asked what his- busi-ness was, he said that he is 68 years ofd,-reeeives a pension and fs retired. He added that •he does run a 'second-hand business.
