His Worship said that when a person grossed a footpath to get to certain pre mises, it would be necessary tq show that the owner had neglected , to apply to the

Borough Council for a crossing. So long as it was not proved that a crossing had been applied for,' there was nothing to prevent anyone from crossing the footpath to enter premises. His Worship said that in any information of a similar nature it would be necessary to' state in the infor mation that no crossing had been applied for. •

George Cates was charged on a similar information, with driving a horse and cart across the footpath in Moore street.
