BUNGAREE " WALLABIES."
FINED £2 AND COSTS.
Bungaree, 1st May.
Owing to the hilarious behavior of some of the Dunnstown residents at the Bungaree court on Monday last, the ''King of the Wallabies," Patrick O'Farrell, and his "aide-de-camp," Patrick Gilhooley, were charged at the Bungaree court on Thursday with being found drunk and disorderly. Mr. A. J. Forbes. .I.P., presided, and fined each defendant .£2, or three days' imprisonment, and ordered each to pay 7/6 costs for hire of a spring cart which was engaged to convey them to the Warrenheip lockup. Gilhooley subsequently explained that O'Farrell, after being put into the spring cart, felt lonely without some of his friends, and asked him to accompany him in his drive. Gilhooley loyally acquiesced in tho invitation, only to lind on reaching their destination that he was locked up with "the king," together with the latter's faithful hound "Cu randooley," which found its way between the constable's legs and was inadvertently shut up with its master.
