PETTY SESSIONS, October 22nd.—Tlis BEER SEL.
Liam—The parties who about a month since were fined
at the instance of the police for selling beer without
licensee, were to-day arraigned by direction of the
Commissioners of Inland Revtinue for penalties under
the Excise Laws, and fined the lowest amount per.
nutted, viz., £5 each—no being the full penalty The
case of Mark Cutler excited special interest, his wife, as
our readers will remember, supplied a detective polite
officer disguised as • navvy, who, after ten minutes hard
persuation and on the representation that he was a dis-
charged soldier, induced her, after repeated refusals on
her part, to draw him beer ; but unfortunately for
Cutler it was his second conviction, and so difficult doer
it appear to get proof for • conviction of a beerseller
that the " spy" system, though so strongly deprecated
by Mr. Bircham, the London stipendiary magistrate, in
Clayton's recent ease, reported In the Tina., of the 9th
Inst., seems almost pardonable ; for indeed it is as hard
as it is unjust for the unlicensed to trade with equal
liberty and profit with those who pay heavy duties to
the revenue. It is to be hoped that the waning which
these convictions give to these lawless traden will pre-
vent the neoeuity of any such un-English "apotheosis
being resorted to. We think that the police authorities,
although of course never in good order with those whose
illegalities it is their province to detect, deserve the VI.
couragement and good will of many who too often sub-
stitute bitter and unmanly remarks.
Philip Stickland was summoned for killing a par-
tridge on the manor of William Bolles Fryer, Esq., at
Lytehett. A boy aged 14, who had been annoyed by •
• sort of keeper on the manor to watch the game, swum
that he saw the defendant pull the trigger and kiU ilie
bird, which he afterwards picked up. H. gave his eel-
dame with great intelligence and, although subjected to
severs crouumunination, remained intact upon his as-
sertions, which were, however, somewhat impsgued by
Meimoth Davis, an apparently respectable young seen,
who swore that the former witness told him that be did
not see the gun fired, nor knew who fired it. Mr. Freer
man who defended Stickland, thereupon inked the
inaistrates to give the defendant the henget of the
doubt which the evidence of Davie had cast upon that of
the prosecution, The Bench, however, lined the defendant
Sl, and costs.
Samuel Whaler, of Handley, an old attendee, woe
again fined to-day for killing a partridge. The defendant
had been convicted thrice before, and now leaves an &Misted
wife with young children, the eldest of them also with
an illegitimate offspring, to feed upon the fruits whisb
the stupidity and reeklessness of their natural protector
provide for them. Mr. Freeman defended Wheeler.
George King, of Himpreston., was immmoned by
Elisabeth Hoyt for an assault. h appeared that eons-
plainant and defendant live in a yard at Danford, seated
under Sir Ivor Guest, and that perpetual inekeriags
(hum ate fashion), occurred between the female por-
tion of them as to the right to got water from the well
—some pelting with stones and calling names, As, The
complainant, a respectable looking woman, detailed her
woes, which, however, did not seem to have much de-
bilitated her tongue, and the crime charged was that
King, the defendant, had pushed her with his elbow
from the well. On orosreramination by Mr. Freeman,
who defended King, he elicited that it was • disputed
right to the well. Mr. Freeman said that than was
thus a termination of their wonhipa' jurisdiction. After
consulting with their clerk, T. Rawlins, Req., the
Bench concurred in this opinion and dismissed the cuss.
P.C. Simmons, a very active and intelligent unsta-
ble in whose district the affray occurred, after the Qom
was closed volunteered a statement about its merits, and
two of the Bench expressed a desire to hear him. kr.
Freeman protested against arlsorie assertion& at the
clue of the oase.
