Cambridge Daily News 27 Apr 1889: Trespass on Parsons land

GAME TRESPASS. — At the Cambridge Division Petty Sessions this afternoon, before Col. Wale (in the chair), Col. Darrell, and Mr. H.W. Hurrell, Alexander Churchman and Walter Dellar, butchers, of Sawston, and John Jennings, a publican, of Little Shelford, were summoned for having trespassed in search of game, on the land in the occupation of Mr. F. Parsons, at Trumpington, on April the 15th. — Mr. J. E. L. Whitehead prosecuted and Mr. J. Ellison appeared for the defendants, all of whom pleaded not guilty. It appeared from the evidence given of the prosecution that the defendants were seen driving on the Hauxton-road with two dogs following them. When they got near the prosecutor’s land a hare was put up and the dogs were sent after it by the defendants. For the defence it was argued that the defendants did all they could to call the dogs off the land. — The Bench fine each defendant 2s. 6d. and costs.
