Loyalist whacked rival with mallet

A LOYALIST group official who beat a fellow member with a ceremonial mallet over a "breach of protocol" has been spared a jail term.

William Fairley, 67, described by his lawyer as a "chief marshal", struck Cameron Gillespie, 57, in the face with the wooden gavel at the Redding and Westquarter Unity Club, Falkirk, the town's sheriff court heard.

Prosecutor Eilidh Smith told the court Cameron had gone to the club - a venue for groups including the Redding and Westquarter Protestant Boys Flute Band and a branch of the Apprentice Boys of Derry to attend "a lodge meeting".
