[Music]

[Music]

out in case of tres purrs for three

hours Robert rather put your trust in

the bed of the mouse I feel better if

they begin to turn up get these photos

on court how much love is going on the

justices has to consider they beat out

an hour already

how much longer like be kept here like a

confit the bench is given considerable

time to this case since it would appear

to be without present at least as far as

the record of his court in July of the.

Year 1700 and 23 a writing officer of.

His Majesty's custom was hanged

he never following a conviction for the

theft of a sheep unfortunately we have

no other record of the trespass by

government officials be that as it may

however the laws relating to private

property are sufficiently well known in

this country there can be no excuse for

disregarding them am I going too fast

you not at all your honor

and that's our charger

[Music]

You had enough I reckon I can have

another drop for the liberty Brotherhood

Robert is a very life conceptually the

man on the other hand there may be

extenuating circumstances as indeed the

defendants pleaded to it necessity there

are quirements of an official

investigation in the case of three of

the defendants under the pursuit of duty

in the case of the other three but it

will be remembered and it is actually

similarly it was offered by the

defendants at Nuremberg and what

happened to them what do we have to

decide in and it is the opinion of the

bench that trespass was indeed committed

brackets there what we have to decide is

whether the defendants presumed on their

rights as officials whether since those

certain authority should set an example

well they it does not behold them to be

doubly circumspect doubly circumspect

where did I get how many circumstan why

don't you pay attention I must request

and amis the Gerard important evidence

has come to light

what's that we've already heard the

evidence there is a ship in the harbour

nonsense

however tied up hundreds of years ago

don't you collect any more now there may

be circumstances we're all positive.

Matson example trouble is caps coming on

won't let the others off the equal to

tell they said get really people what we

need is another

or no time

so the bench has decided to take the

most lenient possible you in the

circumstances to it that you are all

guilty of a lamentable breach of good

manners no more than that you're the

whore discharged but hold it hold it but

to avoid the possibility of the issue of

another summons the bench is prepared to

issue you all certificates about revoir

our key under the offenses against the

persons Act of 1861 and look only make

out six certificates of out of our our

key while that is being done the court

would like to take the opportunity of

complimenting constable Pettigrew how

long must we wait for these these

certificates goodness tears

you got this

all right give me one hey what are you

doing here I've got all about you I've

come to do my bit

not on your life you'll happen oh don't

be silly I can drink with the best not

here you probably can top it.

your chance

[Music]

captain Biddle yeah ravishing

captain Biddle has got wider interests

ashore to attend to

win or more to win our right the other

ages is it for 49 where technically I
