EDMONTON PETTY SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. BUSKE, Chairman, and Dr. Rostrtsorr.)
Yesterday Wm. Summerfield, a drayman, in the service of
the Messrs. Whitbread, the brewers, appeared to a summons,
upon the information of Murray, x connfion informer, that
he, on the 9th January, was driving a dray with reins con-
trary to the 3d Geo. IV., c. 126, and the 4th Geo. IV., c. 95,
which inflict a penalty on all persons driving a vehicle with
reins, such not being intended to be used with reins.
Mr. Norton, a solicitor, was engaged for the defendant.
Robert Harwood, the informer's witness, said thatw on tlie he
day in question he was near the Seven Sisters-road,
hen
saw a dray, which was loaded with empty casks, and drawn
by three horses, two of which were abreast, by the side of
the shafts. The defendant, with whom was another man,
was driving with reins. lie spoke to them, upon which,
after some delay, they both got down, but after walking a
short distance, they again got in the dray and rode in it all
the way to Shoreditch Church.
By Mr. NowroN—l have a weekly salary from Murray.
I give him an account of all informations that are necessary
to ba laid against persons.
Mr. NORTON said he trusted that when the Bench saw the
source from whence the present information emanated, that
they would be inclined to dismiss the summons. The case
was not introduced with any circumstances of aggravation,
and he thought that, on looking at the 132 d section of the
3d Geo. IV., they would find his client had come within the
interpretation of that clause, as by that it provided a penalty
against a driver who had not the government of his horses,
which in this case was not attempted to be shown.
The defendant was fined 20s. and 6s. 6d. costs, which
were paid.
