Cambridge Independent Press 24 Dec 1842: Robert Rayner poaching charge dismissed
Robert Rayner was charged with poaching at Trumpington, on property belonging to Col. Pemberton. Mr. COOPER, on behalf of the defendant, objected to the form of the warrant, in which Smith was stated to be the informer, and then it went on to say that Wilson prayed judgement. —The Bench held the objection to be fatal. — This case decided two others under the same circumstance.
