SIDNEY PROVINCIAL COURT NEWS

‘By John Manning
- Court reporter for
The Sidney Review

The temperature in Sidney
was already in the 70’s when court
convened at 10 a.m. on Monday
morning. Two crows in a tree near

the court could be heard chatter. °-

.ing to one another through the
open high windows of. the place
and four of the lawyers who
appeared en that day wore neatly
pressed clothes, had their shoes’
shined and their jackets buttoned |

. down the front: Two had grey pin

striped ‘suits: one wore a waist-
coat as well, with every button
done up, and during:a discussion
of court dates he watched, appar-
ently somewhat fascinated. while
his colleague took notes on the
bare flesh of his hand.

John Sullivan wore a royal
blue blazer, spotless, brass but-.
toned, introducing a quiet tone of
summer elegance into the sunlit

austerity of the courtroom. The
judge, of course, wore his black
gown: the one constant feature of -
clothing in that courtroom each
week; while the spectators came
dressed as though plucked in
some instant of time from what-
ever duty they were at when court |

‘convened.

The mounted police officers,
when.-in uniform, are in some.
sense. no differently attired than
the lawyers: shoes shining, ties .

‘pressed, sleeves buttoned,”

‘perhaps a ball point pen poking ;
discreetly through a hole in the
left hand flap of their shirt pocket.
They rarely. enter court wearing
a jacket.
PAINTER PLEADS GUILTY °

A Sidney gentleman driving
an auto through the town two
hours past midnight on July 7th

reading of .15. A peace officer
noted that this man,.Richard

sleepy appearance and an odour
