CAMBRIDGE DIVISION PETTY SESSIONS
SATURDAY. - Before I. H. Wilkinson, Esq. (in the chair) and Col. Wale.
BREACH OF THE GAME LAWS.
Henry Shinn and William Tabor, both of Cambridge, were summoned for trespassing upon some land belonging to Alfred Jones, in search of game, at Trumpington, on the 6th inst. - Mr. J. E. L. Whitehead appeared to prosecute. - Defendant Tabor did not appear. - Alfred Collier, gamekeeper to Mr. Pemberton, living at Trumpington, deposed that on the day named he saw the defendants on a piece of land in the occupation of Mr. Jones. They had a greyhound with them. He saw Shinn send the dog over a field. When the defendants saw witness they ran away. Witness followed, and overtook Shinn, who gave his name as "William Smith, Mill-road." He thought that a wrong name had been given him. Subsequently, Shinn accompanied him to the Police-station, where he gave his proper name and address. Witness saw the other defendant in the afternoon, and he gave his name and address correctly. - By the bench: When he recognised Tabor he told him the reason why he asked his name. Tabor admitted having been coursing with Shinn. - The magistrates fined each of the defendants 5s. and costs.
