Transcribed by Susan Bergeron. Geo. The Carlisle Patriot Friday, February 13, 1880 Police Courts/Longtown (Before the Rev. M. R. GRAHAM, the Rev J. A. FELL, and R. A. ALLISON, Esq.) Charge of Attempting to Pass Base Coin. John PATTINSON, tailor, Rickergate, familiarly known as "Bant," was brought up in custody charged with being drunk and riotous and with trying to utter base coin on the 3rd inst. Sergeant DODD stated that PATTINSON attended the coursing meeting at Longtown on the 3rd inst. He was drunk and conducting himself in a disorderly manner, and was rushing about and offering to bet what appeared to be two sovereigns on a certain course. He became such a nuisance to the company that the police removed him to the office, where he was found to have two bad coins in this possession. The Bench fined him 10s and costs for first offence; and remanded him for a month on the other charge, to enable the police to communicate with the Mint authorities. The Bench accepted bail - himself in £10 and one surety of £10 for his appearing. ..... Poaching Cases. Gunson KENNEDY, shoemaker, and Wm. KENNEDY, labourer, Longrigg, Stapleton, were charged on the 1st of December. The right of shooting on this land belongs to the Rev. J. A. FELL, and the case was proved by R. MOSCROP, gamekeeper. The defendants were standing on their own land, or land on which they had leave to be, and fired across the road at some partridges, killing two. The defendants said they were not out on the 1st of December, but the watcher was positive about the identity of the men. Fined 10s and costs each. Wm. JACKSON, of Stanwix, for trespassing on land belonging to Sir F. U. GRAHAM, one day in the beginning of January, was fined 10s and costs. He admitted that his greyhound coursed a hare and killed it in a field, but he denied being off a footpath. .....
