MISCONDUCT IN FRANKSTON TRAIN.
Although there have been many convictions for
rowdy conduct in the trains to Frankston at week-
ends, offences of this kind constantly occur. At
the Malvern Court pn Monday, before Mr. Cohen,
P.M. and Messrs. Patterson, Hattam, and Carroll,
J.P.'s, the Railway Department proceeded against
Bernand Molloy, 214 George street, Fitzroy, and
George Spence, 399 Drummond street, Carlton, on a
charge of having interfered with the comfort of
other passsengers in the half past 7 down train to
Frankston on December 30. Inspector P. Roy
represented the department, but the defendants did
not appear.
The evidence of Detective O'sullivan, who was
in company with Detective Wilson on the occasion,
showed that three men, including the two de-
fendants, entered a first class compartment at Flin-
ders street. They had bottles of beer with them.
Molloy, sat with his legs dangling out of the Tait
carriage, and was guilty of indecent conduct. The
three were jostling and pulling one another about,
and used filthy languaqe. There were several
passengers, including ladies, in the carriage. One
of the men jumped from the train into the pit at
Malvern and escaped; the others were taken out at
Caulfield, and gave wrong names and addresses.
Mr. Cohen said that this sort of thing was be-
coming very frequent, and he was glad that the
department was taking action. He travelled on
that line, and there never seemed to be any officers
about. Defendants would be fined £10 each, with
5/ costs.
