Local Fort Street arrest over crude meal misidentified by officer
A Fort Street incident reports a policeman stopping a colored man carrying a crack of meal. The man claims it is lard and jokes about butter. The officer inspects the greasy mass, recognizes it as coarse meal, and the man is jailed as the case proceeds. Also noted is a centuries old convent site near Sheerness with relics found, and David Brapy, a 95 year old Napoleon guard, jailed for vagrancy in Toronto.
