GEORGE HINDLE, a beershop keeper at
Avenham, was charged with permitting a party to play at dominoes
in his house, contrary to regulations in his licence. He fully
contradicted the charge, and said the dominoes were the property 
of one of his customers, and he had not sanctioned the use of them.
He was ordered to pay the costs, but after a violent remonstrance
on the part of the defendant, he declared his preference to take
lodgings with Mr. Martin, as he was innocent of the charge alleged.

The Bench, seeing mutiny in Court, inflicted a penalty of 20s. and costs.

Mr. Martin was, I think, the chief at Preston Prison!

The tenant of the Foresters' Arms, Avenham Lane, John Riding, died yesterday morning, without making a will, and  on behalf of the owners, Mr. Parker applied that the son, Francis Riding, who now came forward at his mother's request, should have permission to sell.
Mr. Parker added that it so happened that the house was on the list for objections
The Chairman pointed out the difficulty that the committee were in, but eventually he said that no objection could be offered to the widow selling for the time being.
