Painting Place Red: Undergraduate Fined: “Outrageous” Conduct at Ryde. “It is outrageous that young visitors to Seaview should go about actually painting the place red,” said the presiding magistrate at Ryde, Isle of Wight, when Stephen Mackenzie, a Cambridge undergraduate of Dorking and Roger Pinsent, a public schoolboy of Somerset, were charged with doing wilful damage. It was alleged against them that late at night they painted statues of lions on the lodge gates 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 boys apologised, and they were each fined 50s and ordered to pay 50s damages.
