(Guyana Graphic August 22, 1969)
A man who tried to outpace a mounted Policeman after cursing him, appeared before Magistrate Rudolph Harper yesterday charged with using indecent language.
He pleaded guilty to the charge and was fined $10.
The Prosecutor told the Court that Phillip Carlton of DaSilva Street went to a ticket booth outside the Queen Elizabeth National Park and was behaving in a disorderly manner .
He was warned about his behavior by a mounted Policeman.
Carlton invited the Policeman to dismount from his horse and catch him and he began to run.
The Policeman gave the horse a little gallop and Carlton was soon outpaced and arrested.
“You tried to outrun a horse?” the Magistrate asked him before imposing the fine.
