The Silver Arrow
“Unknown “Good evening. My name is John Turney and these are the news headlines in Scotland tonight.
Police have confirmed that eleven women who made a citizen’s arrest of a burglar in Carleston Street Springburn in June of this year will not be charged with serious assault. Twenty-four-year-old Brian Banks of Broomfield Road, Balornock, was confronted by Ella Fisher and her neighbours after a local child playing in the street alerted them that Mrs Fisher’s house was being broken into.... On confronting Banks, who denied the accusation at the time, even though he was confronted in the living room of the house with a bag containing the content of Mrs Fisher’s gas meter, Banks claimed he had entered the flat by mistake. After dragging Banks down to the backcourt, the women ladled into the accused with an assorted collection of pots, pans and other non-lethal household implements to his severe injury. Banks was later jailed for three months… A sixty-six-year-old pensioner today claimed he spotted a salmon in the River Clyde near the boat house on Glasgow Green this morning, causing surprise and joy to the city’s growing angling community. Professor Harold McCauley from Glasgow University said that given the pollution in the river, he was surprised, but delighted by the news. Professor McCauley said that with the rundown of the heavy shipbuilding industries, the river was clearly repairing itself after hundreds of years of abuse… A local primary school head teacher has condemned the mystery person known as The Silver Arrow, claiming that half the children in her and other primary schools along Great Western Road are falling asleep at their desks midway through their morning lessons. Mary Frost has pleaded with the unknown racing driver to think of the children… Justice of the Peace, Herbert Thompson, who handed down fines totalling one hundred and ten pounds to the eighteen individuals convicted of domestic violence at Central District Court today, warned the offenders that they would be dealt with harshly if they appeared up in front of him in the future. The assaults, ranging from slaps and kicks to the use of weapons, such as sticks, belts and a pot lid, mostly under the influence of drink, were all evidenced during the proceedings. Women’s groups in the city have condemned the sentences as pathetic and have called for the Justice of the Peace to resign. Jill Shand, a ward sister at The Royal Infirmary hit out at the sentences and said that these assaults are only the tip of the iceberg and called on all women to write to their local MPs demanding justice for women…”MoreLess
