TornWwißchls: AT AN INN.—At the
on Saturday last, Mr.
Bpg laTbinnilAiga:mdrolloiffitiGwenet Pountney,bWlle ecAsolltapsßt
theAr landlord of the Scott's Arms,
Barr, was summoned under the following rather singular
circumstances :—lnspector Price, who has been long in
the force, aed is stationed at Pelson, was, as he said,
travelling by the Scott's Arms on the 11th of January,
about eleven at night, when, needing some refreshment
he entered the inn for such
purpose. To his great'
surprise, he found in the parlour a respectable party of
gentlemen playing at cards. Calling Mr. Pountney, the
inspector, saying," Why do you allow this 'I" intimated
that this matter must be reported, and so it was. Mr.
Watson, retained for the defendant, said that it was well
known that Mr. Pountney conducted his house in a very
proper manner, and as to the present charge he should
show such sKtenuating circumstances as must operate
in the minds of the magistrates most favour-
ably. The learned gentleman then called Mr. Robert
Craggs, fur many years the respected occupier of the
Scott's Arms. Mr. Craggs stated that on the day re•
ferred to the anniversary dinner cf the Barr Association
for the Prosecution of Fe'ons washeld at Mr. Pountney'e.
Towards evening some of the guests s anted to enjoy a
band at whist, and it was a fact that mine host Puuntuey
had not a pack of cards in his house. However, at the
solicitation of the guests he borrowed the tabooed incen-
tives to gaming, and the whist party were playing merely
for glasses round, when in walked the inspector. Mr.
Watson told the bench that in Birmingham, at the
hotels, card parties for whist were held weekly, and that
magistrates and prossasionals took a hand regularly at
this favourite game. After some brief consultation Mr.
Kenriek said the matter was not very serious, and
defendant must pay a fine of one penny and the costs.—
