ILLEGAL SALE OF BEER.

John Holman, beer-house-keeper, was summoned for unlawfully allowing beer to be consumed on his premises, at Capel, during prohibited hours, on Sunday, the 14th inst.

Mr. S. Han is defended.

P.C. Whibley said that on Sunday, the 14th September, he visited the "Rose and Crown" beer-house, Capel, kept by the defendant, and at a quarter-past three o'clock he found two men in a back lodge close to the house, with a quart pot containing beer. Both men were drunk. He called the landlord's attention to it, when he said he had just returned home from hop-drying, but no beer had been drawn since half-past two o'clock. He told him he should report the case to the Superintendent, but defendant said he hoped witness would look over it.

By Mr. Harris: Had never had occasion to complain previously about this house or the landlord. Fielder was not a lodger at the house. Neither of the men were lodgers. Was not aware that one of the men was a servant at the house. Maplesden and Burke were the two men in the lodge. He could hardly call them travellers.

The defendant was then called, and said he got home, after treading hops all morning, at about two o'clock, and after clearing the house at half-past two o'clock, no more beer was drawn.

Supt. Dance said he had no complaint to make against this house previously. He did not wish to press the case, because at this time of year the beer-house-keepers were teased almost to death by these hop-pickers.

The Bench fined the defendant 5s. and 10s. 10d. costs.

Mr. Harris applied that the conviction should not be endorsed on the certificate, but the Bench refused to accede to the request.
