1820-05-16 | they brought in a report to the MM that the difficulties of Joseph Watson and his partner "have in degree arisen from the unprecedented pressure of the times; although the trade debts are not large, there will be a very great deficiency in the estate, occasioned by an improper bill transaction. They have omitted to balance their books for the last three years past. Jos. Watson has avowed his intention of satisfying his Creditors to the full . . . . We believe that no charge can attach to him for extravagance in the manner of living or other unnecessary expenditure." | DQB |

Police Court, Adelaide:
Joseph Cromie was charged with allowing a ferocious dog to be at large, in Stanley-street, on the 18th August. William Watson was passing the defendant's premises between 5 and 6 o'clock the previous Wednesday, when the defendant's dog rushed out from beneath the fence of his garden, and bit witness in the leg. The defendant, who is a Sergeant in the Police Force, cross-examined the witness at considerable length. In his defence, he called Police-Sergeant Stewart, who said he had known defendant's dog between three and four years. He had never known the dog to bite anyone. His Worship (to Mr. Reading)How do you know that the dog is ferocious? Mr. ReadingFrom his having bitten the first witness. Had he bitten your Worship you would have thought him to be so. His Worship said that notice should have been given to the defendant that the dog was not safe at large, and then if the defendant did not keep it confined, the information could have been laid with effect. Mr. Reading did not know that it was necessary for a dog to bite twice to prove its ferociousness. His Worship (smiling)You might have known it had you studied the law. Information dismissed.
