FARNBOROUGH. PETTY SESSIONS.

Allen Staples, of the "Coach and Horses," Farnborough, was charged, on the information of Police-constable Watson, with having his house open for the sale of beer after hours, to wit, at ten minutes after 11 upon the night of the 5th ult. He was also charged upon a separate information with allowing persons to be in the grounds attached to his house between four and five on Sunday afternoon, the 8th ult., some of whom were drunk. In respect of the first charge the evidence was not sufficient to convict, but in the second the magistrates were of opinion that it was a very gross case and inflicted a penalty of £5 and 14s. 6d. costs, which was paid.
