Violent Miner

A Thurnscoe miner named James Frederick Wild was brought before the West Riding Court at Doncaster to-day for drunken and disorderly conduct on Saturday night when he resisted the police and damaged Police-constable Nicholson’s clotning.

The man was so violent that it took several policemen to lock him up, and he had to be carried to the Police Station.

He was fined 2s. 6d. and costs for being drunk and disorderly, and 8s. and costa and 5s. damage for tearing the officer’s clothing.
