"Summonses at Woolwich on Monday against a Kent
county cricketer and footballer of international repute, Harold Thomas
Hardinge, Bexley Road, Eltham, alleged that he travelled on the Southern
Railway without paying his fare, used a defaced ticket, and gave a false
address. The Magistrate, Mr. Griffith Jones, said that there was a doubt
in his mind, and the summonses would be dismissed, but Hardinge had
behaved very foolishly. Defendant pleaded not guilty. For the prosecution,
evidence was given that on the night of November 2nd, Hardinge arrived at
Mottingham and gave up a ticket, issued in August, from which the date had
been rubbed off. When questioned, defendant said the date might have been
rubbed off by keys in his pocket. At first he refused to give his name and
address, and after being followed on a 'bus, gave the name of Wilson, with
an address at Chiselhurst, which could not be traced. Hardinge, in
evidence, said that the ticket produced was not the one he gave up. He was
spoken to in an aggressive manner in front of other people, and he lost
his temper. That was why he gave a false address." - The
