ANGLO CELT -- June 2, 1853 ------------------------------------------- COOTEHILL PETTY SESSIONS. SATURDAY, 21ST MAY. Justices presiding -- S. R. MOOREHEAD, Esq., chairman; John BEARES, Esq., R.M. ; C.J. ADAMS, Esq., Edgar R. BREDIN, Esq., and Eyre COOTE, Esq. The Constabulary v. John WILLDRIGE of Cootehill. The defendant was charged with having had his ass wandering on the public road. This case had been adjourned from the last to the present petty sessions. In consequence of the defendant having stated that his ass had been in his field, convenient to the town, the gate of which was securely locked on the day on which it was stated to have been found wandering on the road, and that he was informed that Edward REILLY, produced by the constabulary, and who swore that he, on that day, found the ass wandering as aforesaid, took or stole the lock off the gate and so permitted his ass to get out, for the purpose of having him fined, as he received a portion of the costs or some emolument for each conviction which was procured through his instrumentality, he being what is termed a common informer, and that if the Bench would adjourn the case until this day he would be able to procure evidence to prove that fact. Mr. John DUDGEON, attorney for defendant, then called and examined several witnesses, whose evidence merely amounted to this -- that Edward REILLY, the approver, informed them that RUDDEN and CARRAHER, two notorious lads, aged 12 and 13 years respectively, reputed pick-pockets, who reside in the same domicile with him, had stolen the lock off the gate, in reply to which Edward REILLY stated that all he said to the witness was -- that he heard that it was Rudden and Carraher that took the lock of the gate. Mr. Dudgeon contended that, under the circumstances of the case, the Bench should not convict his client as the natural inference to be drawn from the witnesses was, that if Reilly did not himself actually take the lock of the gate it was done at his instance or privity, and, therefore, the Bench ought, in his opinion, to be slow in acting upon his evidence, particularly as it had discarded it on a recent occasion, when he swore to the breaking of the Wesleyan Methodist Meeting-house windows, by a number of little boys, to procure a reward of 5£., offered by the Government for the prosecution of the perpetrators thereof ; and, in addition, he was in a position to produce most respectable witnesses who would swear that he was of so disreputable a character as that his evidence should not be believed in a court of justice. The magistrates (Messrs. Moorehead and Veares -- the others mentioned not having then arrived -- decided upon convicting, and fined the defendant in the sum of two shillings and costs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARRIED.
