HOT PORT WINE. "Teetotaller" Fined for Being Drunk. Falling a victim to the fallacy that port wine is a teetotal drink, Joseph Alexander Jarvis (58), a labourer, of Peckham, found himself in the dock at Lambeth Police Court yesterday on the charge of being drunk and incapable. The police found the prisoner staggering about, and arrested him after he had narrowly escaped being run over by a taxi-cab. According to the officers, Jarvis, when at the station, said: "I'm a teetotaller. I have had a pint of hot port wine." Jarvis (interrupting): I said l had had four 4d.'s of port wine. The doctor said nerves had run down, I have been overworking myself. I’ve had drink for months. The magistrate: Do you say you have had no drink for months?—l had some port wine. That is a teetotaller's drink, isn't it? The magistrate: You have told me several time, that you are a teetotaller, and you have even said you are a staunch teetotaller. You don’t seem to regard port wine as an intoxicating drink.—I have always heard it wasn’t. I can assure you that port wine is not regarded as a teetotal drink. If you want to remain teetotaller you'd better leave port wine alone. It does not agree with you. You will have to pay a fine of 5s. |

A FAMILY SQUABBLE. Joseph Alexander Jarvis (57), a foreman, of Acorn-place, Peckham, was charged before Mr. J. B. Sandbach, K.C., at Lambeth Police Court with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting his daughter-in-law, Mary Ann Jarvis. P.C. Jones stated that on Saturday night he found the prisoner in the centre of a large crowd in Acorn-place. The prisoner was shouting and waving his arms about and was stumbling all over the place. He refused to go away and was taken into custody. Mrs. Jarvis alleged that prior to his arrest the prisoner assaulted her. Prisoner: I did not lay a hand on you. I was pushed out of the house into the gutter and the constable picked me up and took me to the station. I never said a word to you. Mr. Sandbach remanded the prisoner for a medical report. |

PRISON FOR PECKHAM MAN. "I never assaulted her at all," exclaimed Joseph Alexander Jarvis (57), a labourer, of Acorn-place, Peckham, when he was charged before Mr. J. B. Sandbach, K.C. , at Lambeth Police Court with being drunk and disorderly and assaulting his wife. P.C. Riches stated that at 10.30 p.m. on Saturday he was in Queen's-road when he saw the prisoner, who was drunk, strike Mrs. Jarvis and knock her down. When charged at the police station the prisoner exclaimed "It's not the first time." Mrs. Jarvis, who was apparently in a weak state and who was accommodated with a chair, stated that when the prisoner returned home on Saturday night she asked him for some money for the children. He refused to giver her any and went out. She followed him and again asked him for money. He then knocked her down. Questioned by the prisoner Mrs. Jarvis denied that she told him he was not wanted and attacked him. Giving evidence the prisoner said there was a struggle between himself and his wife and they fell to the ground. When he got up someone struck him a blow in the mouth knocking two of his teeth out. Assistan[t] Gaoler Read mentioned that there were a number of convictions against the prisoner for drunkenness and one of 14 days' imprisonment for assaulting his daughter-in-law. Mr. Sandbach (to prisoner): For the drunkenness you will be fined 10s. and 10s. 6d. costs and for the assault, which I consider a bad one, you will go to prison for six weeks' hard labour. |
