AN 80-year-old man who is accused of harassing a vicar has been given more time to find a solicitor to represent him in court.
Jack Brown, of Lamb Lane, Monk Bretton, appeared unrepresented at Barnsley Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday where a new trial date of January 22 was set.
The former county councillor denies harassment by sending letters to Fr Brian Bell, who is priest at St Paul’s Church, Monk Bretton.
