Hill and Mr. Marsh, of the Inland Revenue stated that the defendant did not hold a gun licence. Mr. Smale, who appeared for the defendant, stated that his client was under the impression that he had a gun licence, which was held by Squire, the above witness. Mr. J. Penhorwood and Mr. J. Hughes both swore that the witness (Squire) showed a gun licence at the “King’s Head,” with Shaxton’s name on it. This, however, was denied by Squire.
