Perth Courier, September 10, 1880
Pat In Trouble: The only and original Pat Flaherty of North Burgess was brought before the mayor on Saturday charged by Chief Constable Stone with having been drunk and disorderly the previous day. The charge was fully satisfied and the unfortunate Pat was fined $2 and costs. This was paid. (Author’s note: Another case here of poor journalism, common of the time. See the story in the next issue, a case of mistaken identity.)
Perth Courier, Sept. 17, 1880
Correction: The party who was fined at the Mayor’s Court last week for being drunk and disorderly was not Patrick Flaherty as was stated but Terry Quinn of the same township.
