From The Cork Examiner, 24 June 1865 - THE ORGAN NUISANCE.--Guiseppe Marabo, an Italian organ-grinder, was charged at the Westminster Police-office on Wednesday with unlawfully continuing to play after being ordered to remove from opposite the house of a gentleman named Koenig, at the corner of Westbourne-place, Pimlico. The complainant said that the defendant played opposite his door last evening, and refused to go away when told. The complainant said that the state of his health was not good, and the playing was a great annoyance to him. When told to go away the organ-man said "Lady," and pointed to a parlour window, where Mrs. Sinnett was. She encouraged him to play, although he did not see her do anything. She was fully aware of the annoyance it was to him. Mr. Arnold said that the police would call and tell the lady that if she encouraged an organ man to play in front of Mr. Koenig's house, after he was desired to leave, she would be liable to the same punishment as the organ man. On the next occasion the complainant had necessity to send the man away, he must also send to Mrs. Sinnett and tell her it was an annoyance. If any offence were committed after that by encouragement, he promised to deal with the lady. The defendant said he was encouraged to play by the lady, or he should not have remained. He was discharged on entering into recognizances to come up for judgement on a future day. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
