a wedding party. Other officers arrived in a fire engine tender.
Alfred Bond was charged of keeping the house for the purpose of
betting, relating to certain horse racing on May 2nd, 5th, 6th
and 9th May.
Eighteen persons in the house were arrested, as well as the
landlord. All those arrested were allowed out on bail of £5
each, except Mr. Bond who had to find £20.

Cowgate was summoned for using the bar and tap room for the
purposes of betting. Mr. Bond was charged under the Betting Act
of 1853.

to enter the house (under cover) to obtain information. This he
had done on 6th May and had enjoyed free food and drink, and had
made three bets. (He said they all lost)
During the raid on 9th May, five betting slips and money were
found in the bar along with sporting papers.
The eighteen customers were discharged with a warning but both
Bond and Pearson were to pay a fine of £20 and 6s 6d costs.
