Dorking: Painting a Place Red: “It outrageous that young visitors to Seaview should go about actually painting the place red,” said the presiding Magistrate at Ryde on Tuesday, when Stephen Mackenzie, a Cambridge undergraduate of Dorking, and Roger Pinsent, a public schoolboy, of Somerset, were charged with doing wilful damage. lt was alleged that late at night they painted statues of lions on the lodge gate of a large house at Seaview with blue and red paint and daubed a Post Office pillar box with white paint. Through their parents, the defendants apologised. They were each fined 50s and 50s damage.
