INFRINGEMENT OF LICENSE

appeared that there were extenuating circumstances in this case; and on
the superintendent of police stated; that the house was a very well
conducted one, the defendant was dismissed on paying the costs, 6s. 6d.

K'RECT CARDS AT A DISCOUNT
Thomas Chick, a vendor of "K'rect cards," was charged with
drunkenness and sleeping in a passage leading to the "Liverpool Arms"
public-house, Townwall Street, on the previous night, but was dismissed
with a caution, on promising not to show himself in Dover till the next
races.
Another Correct card, Benjamin Baker by name, was subsequently
charged with a similar offence. By some misunderstanding there happened
to be not a single policeman in the Court, - a circumstance the
presiding magistrate commented on in rather severe terms, - even the
constable who had charge of this particular case being absent. It was
therefore impossible to ask if anything was known of the defendant. But
the defendant proved himself equal on the occasion, informing the bench
that the Superintendent told him to say he was a respectable man and
ought not to have been taken into custody. On the strength of this
statement he was discharged.
(Correct or K'rect cards as they were
referred to, were racing cards. below is shown a cartoon mentioning them
that I believe appeared in Punch 1865. Paul Skelton)
