"Mr Much Couth, student, pleaded guilty in the Magistrate's Court today to a charge of possessing tobacco, but pleaded not guilty to a further charge of possessing alcohol, in the form of beer.

"Mr G. Nong, for the Crown, stated that he would show how Couth's affections had been moved by a policewoman posing as a female, and shortly after their first meeting had asked her whether she would like a cigarette containing 'tobacco' —an addictive drug apparently well-known in student circles.
