At about 7.30 pm on Monday Sergeant went to the home of Ilca Browne at New Montrose to collect something that was sent for him. On arrival at her home, Sergeant started cursing his mother. At the time of the incident, Browne was having supper with her family. The court heard that the defendant went into the house and lifted up the table where Browne was and threw all the items off it.

The police was called in and Sergeant was taken to the Central Police Station.

In his testimony to the court, Sergeant stated that his daughter was being rude to him at the time and that he was going to hit her but his hands hit the table and knocked it over.

He was also ordered to pay $140 compensation in one month or go to prison for three months.
