BREACH OF LICENSING ACT
Richard Moss, landlord of the Pet Dogs beerhouse,
corner of Snow Hill and Walker Street, was
summoned for a breach of the Licensing Act.
P.S. Byrns said that on the night of 15th February,
he was on duty in Walker Street, and that shortly
before 1 o'clock he saw two women go into the
beerhouse named, and come out with a quart of
beer. He went to the landlady and told her what 
he had seen, but she denied it.

In court it was said that the defendant was having 
a little jollification with some friends in the house in
the same street, and that the defendant had sent for 
some beer from his own house.

Moss admitted the offence in court, and was fined
20 shillings plus costs.
