Pembroke on Wednesday.

They found a 30-year-old man semi conscious. He had been trapped under a crate of boxes that fell on him.

He was freed by employees before Police arrived, Police spokeswoman Sgt.

Roseanda Jones said.

The man, who suffered a sprained neck and a contusion, was taken to King Edward VII Memorial Hospital. He was later released.

A Government safety officer was contacted to look into the accident.

POLICE SPOT MAN BUYING CANNABIS CTS Buying cannabis on Parsons Road turned out to be more expensive than Deepdale resident Robert W. Thomas expected.

Police spotted the 28-year-old doing the deal on June 3 and saw him throw a pay-type envelope to the ground when they approached.

It was found to contain 0.61 grams of the drug.

Thomas, unemployed and with a history of similar offences, was fined $250 in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

SHIP STALLS IN HAMILTON HARBOUR SHI A paper ship stalled while entering Hamilton Harbour yesterday morning. The Scarab was bringing 300 tons of newsprint from Nova Scotia.

The Danish-registered ship was just passing Albuoy's Point shortly after 10 a.m. when she lost all power and rudder control, a Harbour Radio spokesman said.

The pilot on board requested assistance. Two Government ferries and the Government buoy tender Dragon came alongside to provide tug assistance.

By the time the ships converged on the Scarab , she had regained power. The ship, handled by John S. Darrell & Co. Ltd., was able to discharge her paper and sail for Colombia yesterday.

MAGISTRATE LECTURES COLLEGE STUDENT CTS A young cyclist clashed with a Magistrate yesterday on how Bermuda College students should behave.

Reeve L. Young, 19, was caught by Police after a high-speed chase on Parsons Road and charged with driving while disqualified, driving carelessly and failing to stop.

Young, of Bobs Valley, Somerset, admitted the September 29 offences and was fined $550.

"That's not the behaviour of a college boy,'' said Senior Magistrate the Wor.

Will Francis when he learned where Young went to school.

"I'm sorry,'' said Young. "But I wasn't born a college boy.'' "I wasn't,'' replied Mr. Francis. "Do I look like I was born a college boy? That's why we have schools, to try to change people. None of us is born knowing right from wrong.'' HOLIDAY WRECKED BECAUSE OF CANNABIS CTS US visitor Timothy Robbins had his holiday wrecked when Customs found cannabis in his wallet at the Airport.

Robbins, 24, admitted having 2.76 grams of the drug, and cigarette papers, when he arrived on the Island on Tuesday.

He told Magistrates' Court yesterday: "I'm sorry about it. I'm just on vacation. I had no idea it was going to end up like this.'' He was fined $400.

MISSED COURT DATE BECAUSE OF BIRTH CTS Shuja Muhammed had a good excuse for not showing up for his court trial -- his baby was being born at the time.

Even though he risked losing $500 bail for not showing up, he decided to be at his girlfriend's bedside.

Muhammed, 20, was in Magistrates' Court yesterday to explain why he failed to appear for a trial on charges of offensive behaviour, escaping custody and assaulting Police.

Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis gave him a stern lecture about keeping court appointments.

"I couldn't make it, I'm sorry,'' said Muhammed. "Are you telling me $500 is not worth seeing my child come into the world?'' The court heard a friend who had pledged another $500, as a surety for Muhammed, did appear in his place at the set time.

Mr. Francis decided not to order the bail money to be forfeited.
