PETTY SESSIONS.
Monday. (Before W. F. Dobson, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, R. Oakes,
E. Tickner, H. Ditchburn, and M. Troughton, Esqrs., and Dr. Ridge).
John Curd, the landlord of the "Ordnance Arms," was summoned for
having assaulted police-constable Chapman while in the execution of
his duty on the night of the 9th November. The defendant said he
supposed it was true, but he did not do it knowingly, for he was in
a state that he did not recollect what he did.
The defendant was then charged upon another summons with letting of
a squib in the street on the evening of the 10th November. The
defendant admitted this case also, but again pleaded intoxication.
The Mayor asked him how he could expect his business to flourish if
he went on in such, a manner as he admitted he was going on, drunk
night after night; for the assault upon the constable he must be
fined £2, and for the second offence the nominal fine of 1s.
