ENORMOUS PIG
Mr. Anderton of the Durham Ox Tavern, in this town,
has a sow pig, which he is now feeding, that is supposed
to weigh upwards of 40 score pounds. She is of the prick-
eared breed, is two years old, and has bred three litters.
She is supposed to be the finest and largest animal of the
description that has been fed in this town or neighbourhood
for some years. She girths upwards of 7 feet.

AN IMMENSE PIG
A few weeks ago we mentioned that Mr. Anderton, of the
Durham Ox public house, had in his possession an immense
pig, which, he was then feeding. A few days ago, to satisfy the
curious, she was conveyed to Mr. Gardner's weighing machine,
Church Street, and she weighted 10 cwt, or 56 score pounds.
She is to be killed in the beginning of Easter week.

THEFT OF HAND-BELL
William Watson, a middle-aged man, was charged with stealing
a hand-bell from the Durham Ox public house, Park Road, value
2s 6d, the property of Mrs Hayes, Durham Ox.
He had gone into the house the worse for liquor, and upon going
away he took the bell with him. PC Lee arrested him, and on
searching him found the bell. The prisoner alleged that he only
took it for a 'lark', and with no intention of stealing it.
Committed to the House of Correction for 21 days.

APPLICATION FOR AN EXTENSION OF LICENCE - At the Borough Police Court on Monday before the Mayor the following persons obtained an extension of their licences for the first four days of this week during the fair …Mr Wm. Swarbrick "Durham Ox", Park-road.
PRESTON POLICE INTELLIGENCE .
BREACH OF THE LICENSING ACT - William Swarbrick, landlord of the Durham Ox, Park-road, was summoned for committing a breach of his license on Sunday March 1st. Mr Edelston appeared for the defendant. - It appears that on Sunday morning, March 1st, about half past eleven, P.C. Walsh and P.D. Whalley, whilst on duty near the defendant's house, saw a man named Townsend go to the front door of the defendant's house and knock. A woman opened the door, and in about five minutes after they saw the woman give the man a quart of ale. Mr Edelston, in defence, stated that the defendant and his wife, at the time the offence was committed, were upstairs attending to a sick child, and were quite ignorant of what was going on downstairs. The woman, who had come to clean up, never thinking of the gravity of the offence she was committing, was over-persuaded by this man to let him have the beer. - Mr Oglethorpe said the defendant had been a publican for thirteen years, and that was the first offence. The Bench dismissed the case on payment of costs.
