Before Col. H. Byrde, E.J. Phillips esq. & Rev T. Evans
John Rosser was charged with keeping a dog without a license on 21st April.
Defendant pleaded he thought he had a license. Mr Bolger said that Mr Rosser had always taken his license out; except in the present year; he had no doubt that Mr Rosser’s statement was true, but the explanation had already gone before the Commissioners, and they ordered this prosecution.

Mrs Crump appeared and handed in a license dated the 18th April; the information was laid on the 17th.
