SHALT NOT CLAMP THE VICAR |
 A
PRIEST who was clamped as he took a 97-year-old parishioner
to a Sunday service called upon an ancient English law to
force wardens to release his car.
Father David Houlding of All Hallows Church in Courthope Road,
Gospel Oak, was furious to discover this weekend wardens had
nabbed him while he was on his rounds to pick up elderly and
disabled people who can’t make their own way to his Sunday
morning Mass.
He had parked his car to the entrance of the near-by Waxham
estate to collect regular churchgoer Margery Vennells, 97,
and when he returned moments later with his frail parishioner
he found two wardens standing over his car – with a clamp
in place.
Father Houlding, who is the Dean for North London, pleaded
with them to free his car, and even cited an obscure 16th-century
law that states it is illegal to hinder a priest on his way
to Sunday services. |

| Shooting
on market day |
|
THE bloody victim of a gangland-style
shooting hobbled into a packed clothes shop and pleaded
for help as gun crime made an unwelcome return to Camden
Town on Saturday.
Police made four arrests within an hour of a single shot
ringing out outside the MTV studios in Hawley Crescent.
A man in his 20s had been shot in the leg with a converted
replica gun just after 6pm as the nearby High Street thronged
with tourists and shoppers.
Shocked staff at Scorpion Shoes hid the victim in a storeroom
after he ran into their shop and pleaded for help.
One, who asked not to be named, said: “He had a baseball
cap and chino trousers on and you could see the blood coming
out of the back of his calf muscle.
