CRANBROOK.
Petty Sessions, Thursday. (Before M. Tweedie, Esq.,
chairman, C. T. Pattenson, Esq., and the Rev. F. Barrow)
Rumens v. Bennett.
(Possibly "Prince
Albert")
This information charged defendant, a retailer of beer in Cranbrook,
with permitting disorderly conduct in his house. Mr. G. Dadson,
constable, stated that on the night of the 16th May, at about ten
o’clock, on being called to defendant’s house, he found a man in
front, with his coat off, making a great disturbance, and offering
to fight any one; on proceeding inside there were from a dozen to
fifteen persons, and among them there was a woman in hysterics.
There was much confusion, and he ascertained that a fight had taken
place. There was frequently a disturbance in the house, and great
complaints were made to him; he had cautioned the landlord.
Edward Jenner stated that he was in the house on the evening in
question, from six till eleven o’clock; there were two men there,
who were rather in liquor, and were very quarrelsome during the
greater part of the evening. A few blows were struck, but as soon as
the landlord found this, he had the combatants turned out of his
house, and used every means in his power to quell the disturbance.
The bench therefore dismissed the information, with a caution to the
landlord.
