then attempted to jump over the restaurant's balcony, appeared in Magistrates' Court yesterday.

Janet DeSilva, of St. David's, was given a six month conditional discharge after pleading guilty to using offensive words.

Prosecuting, Insp. Peter Duffy told the court that on the evening of Thursday, June 11, Police were called to the patio of the Rum Runners restaurant.

"The manager had asked DeSilva to leave because she was bothering other people and she refused. When Police arrived she swore at them and told them that she was just having a smoke,'' said Insp. Duffy.

"When the officers approached her she tried to jump off the balcony but was restrained and then arrested.'' Asked by Senior Magistrate the Wor. Will Francis if she had anything to say, DeSilva replied: "I didn't have my medication. I'm very sorry but people provoke me and I go off. I'm very sorry. I'm tired of jail, I'm tired of life and I'm tired of St. Brendan's.''
