Obscene Language. - 'I suppose I must have used it,' said William Francis Andrews when he was charged in the Kalgoorlie Police Court yesterday morning with being disorderly by using obscene language outside the Carlton Cafe on August 13. The police evidence was that accused and two friends had been attempting to enter the Carlton Cafe after it had closed and were walking down to the Primrose Cafe when the door of the Carlton Cafe opened. They were retracing their steps when the door was shut again and accused then made use of disgusting language in a loud voice. Accused had been drinking but he was not drunk. The bench, Messrs. A. Porter and C. Massey, J's.P., stated that they had decided to stop the use of filthy language in the streets. Accused was fined £5 with costs.
