Walter Fountain, a labourer of Pottery Street, was found guilty of being drunk in the Malster’s Arms, Key Street, for which he was fined 5s. Frederick Osborne, the licensee, was charged with allowing drunkenness on his premises. He stated that he was away from home on the day in question and knew nothing of the occurrence.
