CARDS IN THE PARK.
Stanley Broderick, Samuel Cook, and Frank Flood pleaded guilty, and Ernest Douglas and Linden Pickering not guilty, to charges of playing cards in Parramatta Park on Sunday, 30th March, to the annoyance of the public.
Senior-Constable [Richard] Trevillian deposed that on 30th of March he was with Constable Connors, and he saw Douglas and Pickering with the three others (who had pleaded guilty that day). They were sitting in a ring, near the front of Old Government House, inside and about 150 yards from the main entrance of the Parramatta Park, playing cards. They were frequently playing. Complaints had been made. It was difficult to catch the offenders. They always had someone on the look-out.
To Douglas: Saw you playing cards.
To Pickering: You were not sitting 10 yards away. We caught two of the group; the others ran away.
Constable E[dwin] Connors corroborated the evidence of the last witness. He saw the defendants Douglas and Pickering with the others sitting down and playing cards. Ran about 30 yards after Douglas, and caught him. Said, “What did you run away for?” He replied, “I did not want to get caught.” Pickering ran. He was playing cards.
E[rnest] A Douglas, of Ada-street, wool sorter, deposed that he was walking through the Park. Sat near some fellows playing cards. The police made a rush. Fell over. Was caught. Said, “What are you taking me for? I wasn’t playing.” The police said, “It is just as good.” Was not there five minutes.
Frank Flood, dealer, Lennox-street, Parramatta, swore that Pickering and Douglas were not playing. Was playing a game of “nap.”
Samuel Cook, laborer, of Harris-street, Parramatta, deposed that Pickering and Douglas were not playing. There was an other man there, but the police did not see him,, nor take his name. Did not usually play “nap” with three. Played with six, if they could get them.
The DSM: I know you do.
Stanley Broderick deposed that Douglas and Pickering took no part in the game.
Each defendant was fined 20/-, with 6/- costs; or seven days’ imprisonment with hard labor.

QUARTER SESSIONS.

A REVOLTING CASE.
Stanley Broderick, a young man well known in Parramatta, pleaded not guilty to a charge of indecently assaulting a male person, Hector Bernard Mellish, at Parramatta, on the 22nd October. In this case the accused had applied for counsel to be assigned to him under the Poor Persons Defence Act , but the application was refused. Evidence of a revolting nature was given by three boys, after which the accused made a statement in which he declared that he was at home and in bed at the time the offence was alleged to have been committed.
The jury, after a few minutes’ retirement, returned a verdict of guilty.
There were four other indictments, [1) John Savage, 2) Daniel Brown, —aka Daniel Brien , Daniel Bien, 3) Alfred Naylor, and 4) Ronald Naylor], and the Crown Prosecutor asked that the trial on these cases be postponed till the next court of Quarter Sessions. Accused was remanded for sentence, his Honor [Judge Armstrong] remarking that he did not feel in a frame of mind at present to pass sentence.
Stanley Broderick, convicted of an indecent assault, was brought up for sentence on Thursday, and, when asked what he had to say why sentence should not be passed on him, said he had a good character, and was the support of his invalid brother. For the police, Sergt Walsh stated that he had known prisoner for the past two months, during which time he had not done any work, and was daily in company with convicted thieves. His Honor said that if prisoner could bring evidence of good character he would be given the benefit of it. Prisoner had no witnesses to call and his Honor sentenced him to be imprisoned with hard labor in Grafton Gaol for nine months, and said that had he passed sentence on the previous day the sentence would probably have been more severe. What would become of the other cases against prisoner he did not know.

A BREEZE AT THE SESSIONS
———◦———
“DON'T BE SILLY!”
———
“YOU’RE SNAKE-HEADED.”
———
At the Parramatta Court of Quarter Sessions on Wednesday, during the hearing of the charge against Alfred Mobbs, his Honor questioned the accused, and on receiving a certain reply, remarked, “It seems very queer.” This at once brought Mr Moss, who appeared for Mobbs, to his feet in protest, when he indignantly remarked that it was indiscreet for his Honor to make such a remark, which might reasonably have an influence on the jury.
His Honor brushed the incident aside with the remark, “Don’t be silly,” but Mr Moss was not to be pacified by such an off-hand remark, and stated that if it occurred again he would take further action in representing the matter to a higher court. Later on, before addressing the jury, Mr Moss referred to the incident and said that he recognised that no fairer man than Judge Armstrong sat on the bench. He regretted having made the remarks, and whatever he had said was said in the heat of the moment.
His Honor: “Because you were snake-headed.” There the incident ended.

BRODERICK'S CASE.
Stanley Broderick, arraigned on a charge of, on the 16th October, 1920, indecently assaulting Daniel Brown, [aka Brien, Bien] a male person, pleaded not guilty and challenged three jurors. He was found guilty, with a recommendation for consideration on account of his mental condition. There were other similar charged against him, and the Crown Prosecutor stated that he did not propose to go on with these at present. The accused pleaded not guilty, and he was bound over to come up for trial when notified. He was bound over in each case in his own recognizance in £10.
In the case in which he was convicted he was sentenced to be imprisonment in Grafton Gaol with hard labor for eight months, his Honor adding that the jury had made a recommendation in his favor, feeling that it was medical treatment that the prisoner required, and he would get it there. The accused was serving a sentence of eight months for a similar offence, and this latter sentence would add on to this sentence two months.

* The date—16 Apr 1912—entered on the gaol photographic description sheet appears to be incorrect. According to the newspaper report Stanley Broderick was tried at the Parramatta Police Court on Wed 16 Apr 1913. Also the sentence corresponds with date found in the 1913 newspaper article. ¶ The Parramatta Quarter Sessions did not commence until Mon 27 Feb 1922. It is more likely that this offence was tried in the Parramatta Police Court. |
