    3. PETTY SESSIONS. PENRITH – TUESDAY, SEPT. 29th. (Before J. JAMESON, Esq., J. THOMPSON, Esq., W. H. PARKIN, jun., Esq., W. HARRISON, Esq.; SIR H. R. VANE, Bart.; H. HUDDLESTON, Esq.; HON. H. BROUGHAM; J. E. HASELL, Esq.; and GENERAL BROUGHAM.) CERTIFYING THE JURY LISTS. – For a considerable time the court was occupied in revising and passing the lists of persons entitled to serve as jurors in the district of Leath Ward. In consequence of a legal quibble raised by a member of the Bench, the proceedings were protracted and tedious in the extreme, and the professional gentlemen present put to great inconvenience. _________________ GAME TRESPASS. – GEORGE GILL, of Harbour Lodge, near Aston, was charged, on the information of JOHN FURNESS, game watcher, in the service of W. PARKER, Esq., Carleton Hill, with having trespassed in pursuit of game on certain lands in the occupation of MR. TINNISWOOD, Glassonby, on the 19th September. MR. T. J. SCOTT appeared for the defendant, and the prosecution was conducted by MR. LAMONBY. After the evidence of the complainant, several witnesses were called to prove that the charge was unfounded. The Bench then retired, and on their coming into court the Chairman said, after considering the evidence carefully, they had come to the conclusion to mulct the defendant in costs, amounting to 17s. 6d. ============================================================= barb, ontario, canada. ** mulct [məlkt] VERB 1.. extract money from (someone) by fine or taxation: "no government dared propose to mulct the taxpayer for such a purpose"
