2 June 1951: First Court for Women J.P.s -Bailie Mrs A. L. Matthew and Mrs G. S. Robertson, newly-appointed Justices of the Peace for Angus, presided for the first time at a J. P. Court in the Sheriff Court House on Wednesday. They were introduced by Mr D. Littlejohn, solicitor, clerk to the Justices for the district. The only case before them was one by H.M. Customs and Excise for failure to hold a dog licence. The complaint was against Mrs Davina Cargill or McPhail, whose address was given as 26 East Mill Wynd. Mr R. D. Macdonald, H. M. Customs and Excise, Montrose, said that a black smooth-haired mongrel was found roaming the streets by a police constable. Mrs McPhail said the dog was a stray one which, out of pity, she had taken in. She had given shelter and food to the dog and had had it for about 12 months, but she had not taken out a licence for it. She had not made use of an opportunity since given her of obtaining a licence. Mrs McPhail pleaded guilty by letter. A fine of 15s was imposed.
