Apocrypha (3)

When fining someone we are obliged to look into their finances to ensure that the fine is fair. This can be a rough-and-ready process at times as we don't have the staff resources to check information.



I asked a young black lad what he had to live on: "Nothing".

Where did he live? "With me Mum"

So she feeds you then? "Yeah"

I suppose she gives you some money to go out on Fridays? "Yeah"

Do you smoke? "No - only cigarettes"



I am not sure that he understood why everyone in the courtroom doubled up laughing.
