CAUTION TO PUBLICANS.—On Saturday, before J. Clifford, Esq., Mayor, G. Edmett, E. Stacey, and R. Cooper, Esqrs.), Richard Lampard, landlord of the Wellington Inn, Mill-street, was charged with having his house open during the prohibited hours on Sunday morning, the 13th December. Sergt. Rhodes stated that while going down Bank-street just as the clock struck two on Sunday morning last, he heard loud talking in Mill-street, and on proceeding to the Wellington Inn he found that house open and several persons in the kitchen. Defendant said they were lodgers, and that he could not get them to go to bed. In the back yard he found two men, one of whom was not a lodger. One of the men in the kitchen had got a quart pot full of beer, and asked witness if he would have a drink of water. In answer to defendant, Rhodes said he knew the pot contained beer and not water, because there was some froth. Defendant stated that he had not drawn any beer after 12 o'clock, but that all the persons in his house were lodgers. The pot out of which the man asked Rhodes to drink contained water and not beer. The magistrates, however, thought the charge fully proved, and inflicted a fine of £1 and 9s. costs.
