Petty Sessions: Monday, April 29th: Before the Mayor, M. Fox, and H. Gaskell, Esqs.: Disputed Rate: Mrs. Endecott came before the Bench at the request of the collector, to settle the payment of a district rate made in August. Mrs. Endecott said she did not owe the rate, she only took the house in September, at Michaelmas; she was living there before, but as a servant of Mr. Pinsent, the brewer. The Bench, after a short deliberation, ordered Mrs Endecott to pay for the time she occupied, which would amount to 2s 3d of the rate — and the former occupier to pay the remainder.
