Father and son told to 'keep the peace' following fight

Fri, 20 Feb 2015

A father and son duo have been told they must keep the peace after a family matter resulted in "fisticuffs".

Peter and Andrew Corkill, from Ramsey, have been issued with binding over orders for the next 12 months after a drunken bust-up on Monday.

Police arrested the men, who are 56 and 35 respectively, after the argument got "out of hand" - they were kept overnight and produced for court the following day.

At Douglas Courthouse Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes told them they must be of good behaviour, particularly towards each other, for the next 12 months.

She also ordered them to pay the doctors costs incurred and subsequently withdrew two charges of provoking behaviour against them.
