High Court at Richmond

Some well-known faces around Richmond looked down upon a sea of faces from the dock one night last month when the Jaycees' Sublime Court held a sitting on the parking lot. Some of the defendants had quite good defences to offer when the charges were preferred against them, but it didn't do them a scrap of good. Each was fined by His Honour, Mr Justice (K. M.) Black and the funds went into Jaycees' project, "Operation Concern". A lot of fun for all and a few bob (£20 worth) collected to aid the alleviation of suffering.
