Three times asked - three times refused

Chips Paper on Pavement

Three times he had asked a fairground attendant to pick up a fish and chips bag the man had thrown onto the pavement in Allhalland Street and each time the request was refused, Police Constable G Thrupp told Bideford magistrates on Tuesday. Before the court was Hugh Henny, whose address was given as c/o F Whitelegg's, The Fairground, Bideford, who pleaded "guility" to depositing litter on the highway in contravention of a Borough bye-law.
Henny, who told the magistrates he had nothing to say, was fined £2 with the alternative of 14 days' imprisonment. He said he earned £6 a week and was paid on Sundays. He was allowed until September 23rd to pay.
