Axminster: Petty Sessions: Thomas Clyst was summoned for being drunk and disorderly. P. C. Pinsent, about half-past eleven on Saturday evening, the 23rd ult., saw the defendant leave his house Castle-hill, Axminster. He had neither coat nor hat on; he was drunk and disorderly, and he locked him up for the night. Defendant pleaded that he frequently went without his hat, and that he did not make any noise in the street but admitted that he had for once taken a little drop too much; he was very sorry, and assured the Bench had not taken a drop too much for years before. Fined, including costs, 11s.
