DescriptionThe Watch Committee minutes refer to a case of two university men brought before the justices in breach of the Bye Laws and who were defended by C H Cooper. They include a resolution passed requesting that as the 'Town Clerk is the legal advisor of the Corporation and consequently of the Watch Committee under whose control the Police are placed…it is highly inconvenient that the Town Clerk should appear as the advocate of the defendants in such cases...[and the Town Clerk] will not appear as the advocate of defendants charged with offences by the Police.'
