PETTY SESSIONS / KIRKBY STEPHEN.

 

KIRKBY STEPHEN – MONDAY, 12TH OCT.

 

(Before T. MASON, Esq.,  CAPTAIN CHAMLEY,  and  CAPTAIN GRIMSHAW)

 

GAME TRESPASS. – JOHN TALLENTIRE, of Lowgill, near Brough, was charged with trespassing on lands in the occupation of MR. R. LAMBERT in search of game.  The case was proved by JOHN WILKINSON and his master, MR. WYBERGH, the former of which deposed that when out with MR. PRESTON and his master on the first of October, they met defendant in the midst of MR. PRESTON’s shooting, on land occupied by MR. LAMBERT.   TALLENTIRE pulled a bird out of his pocket, which he said was the only one he had shot, and going down on his knees, he offered the bird to MR. PRESTON, and said if he would forgive him, he “would never do so no more.” – There was also a second and similar charge against TALLENTIRE, alleged to be committed on MR. WYBERGH’s land.  For the first case, defendant was fined £1 and costs, but in the second “count” the Bench decided that there was “no case.”

 

PROSECUTION UNDER A SCHOOL BOARD. – JOHN STEPHENSON, of Asby, was charged on the information of MR. R. JACKSON, clerk to the Asby School Board, with neglecting to send two children to school.  MR. JACKSON deposed to the facts of the case, which were admitted, but the plea was put forward that one of the children was ill.  Defendant promised, however, that they should be sent to school,, but asked if he was compelled to send his children to the Board School, when there was a good endowed school in the place.  The Bench said that because a school was endowed, it did not follow that the teaching was efficient.  All they had to do was to see that he sent his children to an efficient school.  They would give him another month.    MR. JACKSON, the clerk, said that he was not aware of the children being ill, and the neighbours  complained that they were always in a mischief.   The Bench then cautioned defendant, and said that if he did not comply in a month, they had no option but to fine him.

 

APPLICATIONS.

 

An application for extension of hours was granted in the case of MR. TYSON, Black Bull Hotel, for a Cricketers’ Supper;  and to the landlady of the Pack Horse, Church Brough, for a Ball.

 

Mr. Superintendant PARKS applied for an order to sell a bay mare which was taken up in Kirkby Stephen on the 24th September.  She had been advertised in the Penrith papers, but no owner had turned up.  The application was granted, and the mare was afterwards sold.  Unfortunately for some one, she only made £1  17s.  6d., whilst the charges upon her for keep, &c., were something over £3.
