Robert Jenkinson, beer-seller, Canal-street, was called upon to answer the charge of selling, on the 12th February, a pennyworth of tobacco, not being licensed. Mr. F. Armstrong appeared for the information, and Mr. Catterall for the defendant.
Mr. Elmey, permit writer, examined:- On the 12th February I went to the defendant's house and had two glassed of ale, after which I was served with a pennyworth of tobacco by the defendant's wife. It was brought to me by a little boy.
Cross-examined by Mr. Catterall, - I will swear that I have not visited 100 houses for the purpose of procuring informations since the 12th February. I will not swear that I have not visited thirty, but I think not. I am sure that the tobacco was brought by a little boy, and not by a girl. I never gave a penny to the little girl, although I saw one there. I had some bread and cheese at the house.
Mr. Catterall then addressed the Bench for the defendant, and called the following g testimony. Elizabeth Jenkinson examined:- I am 12 years of age, and the daughter of the defendant; I recollect Mr. Elmey coming to our house on the 12th February; it was Shrove Tuesday; he had some ale, and treated a man named James Acres with two glasses. He asked my mother if she sold tobacco, and she said she could send for it; Elmey then gave me a penny, and I fetched the tobacco from a neighbouring shop, and I took it to him; I also fetched him some bread and cheese, and he made me a present of a penny.
Ann Gregson examined:- I am a shopkeeper, and I live near the defendant, and recollect the last witness coming for a pennyworth of tobacco to our shop.
Cross-examined: There was only one pennyworth of tobacco fetched from our shop to the defendant's house that day.
James Acres examined:- I recollect the day when the witness Elmey was at the defendant's house; I am the brewer there, and I recollect seeing the girl, Elizabeth Jenkinson, coming into the house with a pennyworth of tobacco, which was for the Exciseman, Elmey. He invited me to smoke some of it.
This being the case for the defendant, Mr. F. Armstrong addressed the Bench in reply, commenting ably on the evidence given by the defendant's witnesses; he considered that it was a mere question of credit, and he thought the Bench would act most safely by believing Mr. Elmey.
The Bench consulted for a few minutes, and the Mayor said there must be some mistake on the part of the witness, and they could not make up their mind to convict.
The case must, therefore, be dismissed.
