PETTY SESSIONS.

Bromley — May 26th. Present:- C. L. Wilson, Esq., Col. Long, F. M. Lewin, R. Boyd, and W. Waring, Esqrs.

Nimmo, Inspector of Police v. R. Green.

This was an information preferred at the instance of the Metropolitan Police, against Mr. Green, the landlord of the "Plough and Harrow" beer-shop, in the Parish of Bexley, for opening his house for the sale of beer, before one o’clock on Sunday, the 11th May.

Defendant pleaded not guilty.

In support of the information, the Inspector called P.C, 267, R. who proved that on Sunday the 11th, he visited defendant’s house, in plain clothes, and that he saw several persons in the wash-house and some out — 17 in all; three pots were standing with the froth round them; but he saw no beer drawn, nor any drunk.

Another Constable was called to confirm the last witness; but the Bench did not consider the case was proved, and the information was accordingly dismissed.
