High Court Judge Davidson Baptiste has ordered six members of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP) to pay cost of EC$204,000 after losing their court battle against the Speaker of the House, the Attorney General and the Sergeant-at-Arms.
Justice Baptiste ruled that the speaker, Alix Boyd-knight did nothing wrong when she first altered the question to be posed by the opposition on the Order and her subsequent refusal to allow Earl Williams to ask a supplementary question.
The Judge then dismissed the motion by the Opposition members and set aside March 3, 2008 for both parties to address him on issue of cost. The claimants in the matter are Earl Williams, Edison James, Claudius Sanford, Norris Charles, Nicholls Esprit and Ron Green.

‘GUILTY’
After just over two hours of deliberation, a nine-member jury on March 3 found Clem Philbert guilty of murder. Justice Davidson Baptiste has set March 17 as the date for sentencing after a welfare and psychological report. Philbert was accused of killing his friend Joseph ‘Pajoe’ St. Louis whom he had known since 2002.
Tap into a young, green coconut (or jelly) and therein lies the slightly sweet, semi-transparent liquid that islanders have long enjoyed as refreshment in the sun’s heat. Coconut vendors can be found most everywhere in the Caribbean, so finding a “cold jelly” isn’t difficult.
