where they could find jobs to help pay their fines.

Walde Trott, 18, of Tribe Road Number Five, Paget, failed to show for his first court appearance on January 5 after being charged with not having a licence.

Mr. King fined him $100 and asked if he could pay. Trott said no as he did not have a job and already had more than $1,000 in outstanding fines.

"Do you want me to tell you where to get a job?'' asked Mr. King.

He motioned for Trott to approach the bench so that he could tell him where to get a job and also advised him not to tell anyone else about the job.

Mr. King said: "As soon as you get that first $100, you come straight to the court, don't go to the bank because you know what their lines can be like.

"You pay that $100 and leave me a note saying `I did it'.'' He then gave Trott until April 26 to pay his fine.

Later in the session, Trott's brother Igziabeher Trott pleaded guilty to riding an unlicensed bike, not having a licence, not having insurance and speeding at 64 kph. He was fined $250, $100, $1,000 and $250 respectively.

Igziabeher Trott also asked for time to pay as he did not have a job either.

Mr. King told him to ask his brother where to get a job, and gave him until April 28 to pay the first two fines totalling $350; until May 31 for the speeding fine; and until September 30 to pay the no insurance fine or serve 28 days, 14 days, 28 days and 4 months respectively.
