Bristol Police Court: The Mayor, Colonel Worrall and R. Jones Esq. … … Mr. Burton Pinsent, corn factor, Welsh-back, asked the opinion of the bench upon the point raised in the subjoining facts: A French vessel came to this port with a cargo of wheat consigned to him, and finding the berth opposite his warehouse to be unoccupied, the captain took possession of it, and commenced discharging; some time after; however, a Welsh trader, came up and the captain of which insisted on the Frenchman turning out from the inside berth, and on the Frenchman refusing, cut his cable and turned him adrift. What he wanted to know was this: whether occupying warehouse on the Back, and paying extra rent and charges, his vessels had not a right to remain in the berth which they might take up as being most convenient for discharging the Cargoes? … (discussion) … The Bench expressed their opinion that no ship should take up a berth except by direction of the quay warden or harbour master; and that no vessel had a right to eject another from a berth which could only be property done by command of the same authority. … …

… Also … … A Begging Letter Impostor: John Hancock, a middle-aged man, was charged with obtaining money under false pretenses. It appeared that on Wednesday last the prisoner went into the warehouse of Mr. B. Pinsent, Welsh back, and presented a petition stating that he was death and dumb, and that he wished to make up a sum of £25 for the purpose of placing a sister in the asylum at Bristol. He wrote on a slate to the effect that he must have the money by Friday, and at last induced a gentleman named Hall to give him a shilling; Mr. H. however, hearing the afternoon that he was regaling himself at the Giant’s Castle public hose, caused him to be apprehended, when he was found to be “a great sham,” Mr. J. Bush solicitor, deposed that he gave the prisoner half a crown recently, his charitable feeling having by excited by the same tale. … (continues with discussion of forged letter) … The Mayor said it was a gross case of imposition, and committed him for three months as a rogue and a vagabond …

Bristol Police Court: Wednesday: Magistrates Present: The Mayor, Col. Worrall, J. Hughes, R. Jones and W. Herapath, Esqs. The Cask Case: This case was resumed today, the porter, Henry Davey, attended before the bench to give his evidence, which has already appeared. It was to the effect that he was sent by Mr. Gilbert to sell the 19 casks to Mr. Derham; and there was never any attempt at concealing the casks on Mr. Gilbert’s premises. Witnesses also attend from Bath, who proved that Mr. Gray’s cooper was in error when he stated the cask identified had been branded in July last. The bench ordered the court to be cleared. In about a quarter of an hour the public were readmitted, when the mayor, addressing Mr. Ayre, said – the Magistrates have given the most serious attention to this case, which they believe to be one of great importance as tending to lay bare a system of fraud and plunder, which has long been carried on in this city. They have heard all the evidence very attentively, but their opinion is that it is not such as will authorize them in committing for trial. Mr. Herapath said an indictment could be preferred at the sessions, if the parties pleased, or another case might be proceeded with now. Mr. Ayre said, he should go on with another case, one which he conceived to be stronger and clearer than the last, but as some of the witnesses were in Wales, he should not be able to complete it. The case referred to by Mr. Ayre, is one in which Mr. Pinsent, of Bath, is the complainant, and we believe is similar in its main features to the one just disposed of.
