Three roadside vendors were granted bail when they appeared yesterday before Magistrate Hazel Octave-Hamilton in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on abusive language charges to which they all pleaded not guilty.
David St Hill was charged with making use of abusive language to Natasha Nedd and Eon Williams respectively on May 3 at North Road and Water Street where his stall is located.
Nedd and Williams were also accused of making use of abusive language to St Hill on the said date.
St Hill was represented by attorney-at-law Mohammed Zafar who made an application for bail on his behalf. His client who is 53-years-old and has no antecedents had been placed on self-bail at the station, he stated.
Nedd and Williams were unrepresented but they made applications for bail to which police prosecutor Tracymay Gittens did not object but asked that a condition be applied requiring them to have nothing to do with each other since they are all vendors in the same North Road-Water Street vicinity.
The three defendants gave the undertaking that they would have nothing to do with each other.
Nedd and Williams were placed on $10,000 bail each while St Hill was placed on $15,000. The defendants were told to return to court on May 17.
