7 APRIL 1870
SACRILEGE – SALTCOATS
A miner from Stevenston, named SAMUEL McKNIGHT, who described himself as a Protestant, exhibited his antipathy to Roman Catholicism in a rather novel fashion on the morning of Sunday last.
He entered the vestibule of the Roman Catholic Chapel, just before the service commenced, with the evident intention of mingling with the worshippers. He seemed to linger for a little at the “plate,” and as it was supposed the want of a coin might induce this feeling, he was invited to enter without the aid of an offering. He at once, however, dropped an offering into the receptacle, but had no sooner done so than he raised the plate from off its pedestal, and unceremoniously tossed its contents on the ground outside the door.
His peculiar conduct, as a matter of course, created not a little commotion, which tended to disturb the congregation, and the police were summoned, who at once took the over-zealous Protestant into custody.
For this offence he was brought up at a special J.P. Court on Tuesday – J. G. HALKET, Esquire, presiding – and having pleaded guilty, was sentenced to ten days’ imprisonment.
