Opening of the St George Petty Sessions Court
The St George District held its first Court of Petty Sessions with T W Stevenson as acting clerk. Judge Love opened the session noting blank charge sheets and set monthly hearings for petty debts. Local officials and Alderman Halstead welcomed the court and praised the site, while one drunkenness case was heard with a gentle sentence. This marks a notable convenience for the district formerly traveling to Newtown for minor cases.
