Temple Cloud Police Court – Tuesday
Thomas Marsh, of 8 Maynard Terrace, Clutton, was summoned for assaulting and beating Elizabeth Clara Bailey, of 13, Maynard Terrace, Clutton on 23 July, at Clutton. Complainant stated that on the Sunday previous to the assault she was called by the defendant’s son and daughter to come to see her mother, who was ill. On Thursday evening defendant had blamed her for spreading tales about him as to his treatment of his wife. She went and asked him about it, and after a conversation defendant struck her two blows, one on the nose and one on the cheek. Defendant, on oath, said complainant had waylaid him that evening and said she had come to his house on purpose to make a row. He acknowledged that Mrs. Bailey on the Wednesday evening struck him, and defendant produced the piece of tooth which he said complainant had knocked off. He would not deny striking complainant. He might have done so in the scuffle to put her out of doors. The Bench fined defendant 10/-, and costs 9/-, or in default seven days.

Temple Cloud Police Court – A Clutton Case
Before Messrs. W. H. C. Shaw on the chair and Mr. James.
Sarah Elizabeth Payne, a married woman, living at Maynard Terrace, Clutton, was brought up in custody charged on remand with stealing a list of articles, consisting of kettles, glass and chinaware, knives, forks and spoons, combs, brushes, linen, raincoat and other wearing apparel, bedclothes, bags, [?] rocking horse, gold necklace, and other articles of jewellery, etc., the whole to a value of £14, the property of Mrs. Ellen Farrant, of the Warwick Arms, at Clutton, between July 1, 1916 and March 8, 1917.
Prosecutrix, Mrs. Ellen Farrant, wife of Tom Farrant, licensee of the Warwick Arms, Clutton, stated that she first employed defendant as charwoman in June 1916. At that time witness was out of a servant. The defendant then came every day, but latterly she came about once or twice a week. Witness ceased to employ defendant on March 6 last. During the time defendant was employed by her she missed things from the house and although witness continually brought articles they never accumulated as they should do. The first thing she missed was a coat last summer, in July or the early part of August. Witness asked Mrs. Payne if she had seen anything of it and she said she had seen witness’s little boy dragging it down the yard. Witness remarked she should surely see someone walking about with it on if they had picked it up. She identified the coat produced by its general appearance, and by the label on it bearing the name of the shopkeeper where she bought it at Reading before coming to live at Clutton. Witness identified several of the articles (produced) by certain marks, etc., and spoke as to the remainder (produced) as being precisely similar to those which she had in her house, and which had since been missing. She did not give the woman permission to take the articles. Neither did she give any of them to her. Witness had no doubt at all that all the articles mentioned in the charge were hers, and she valued the whole at £14. Witness ceased to employ defendant because she was not satisfied about the loss of the coat, and that she had suspicions on Mrs. Payne in consequence of her missing things.
William George Hamilton, farmer, of Hinton Blewett, gave evidence of having taken a meat mincer into Bristol for the purpose of getting it repaired for Mrs. Farrant, as it had broken, but he could not get it done. He identified the meat mincer(produced) which was one of the articles mentioned in the charge.
Tom Farrant (licensee of Warwick Arms), Clutton, also gave evidence, and identified the articles generally as being precisely similar to those his wife had in the house, and which had been missing.
May Holland, a servant employed by Mrs. Farrant, also gave evidence.
P.S. Parsons stated that on March 29 last he received a search warrant from Mrs. Farrant for No.8 Maynard Terrace, Clutton, occupied by the prisoner. About 1 p.m. on the same day he accompanied P.C. Olargo to that address, and Mrs. Farrant joined them afterwards. He saw the prisoner, and told her the object of his visit, and then read the warrant, and made a search of the premises. He found various of the articles produced in different parts of the house, and Mrs. Farrant identified them as being hers. The defendant said her husband bought the knives, and the brushes and neck chain belonged to her daughter, and that she had nothing there belonging to Mrs. Farrant only what Mrs. Farrant gave her. About 5 p.m. the same day he brought prisoner to the Police Station and charged her with stealing the coat, but she made no reply. On the following day witness and Mrs. Farrant returned to prisoner’s house at Maynard Terrace, and made a further search, and found the remainder of the articles mentioned in the charge. On Saturday he charged her with stealing the whole of the articles from the Warwick Arms. He cautioned her, and she made a statement during the course of which she admitted that some of the articles belonged to Mrs. Farrant, while several more she mentioned as being her own property, and others the prisoner made no mention of.
P.C. Olargo also gave evidence, and the prisoner elected to be dealt with summarily, and in reply to the charge said, “I am quite guilty of taking some of the things, but a lot of the things I am not guilty of.”
By the Clerk Her husband was in France, and she had a separation allowance of £1 a week for herself and one dependent child.
Defendant asked to be dealt with leniently.
In imposing a fine of £3 the Chairman remarked that the Bench had taken into consideration the fact that that was her first appearance, and that her husband was serving his country abroad. In default of payment she would have to go to prison for one month. There was a further charge against the prisoner of stealing a gentleman’s umbrella, between July 1, 1916, and the end of October 1916 to the value of £1, the property of Stanley Charles Tucker, of Clutton.
Prosecutor stated he was a butcher, and resided at Clutton. In the summer of last year he went to the Warwick Arms, Clutton. He had the umbrella with him, which he left at the Warwick Arms. He made inquiries about it the next morning when he found he had forgotten to bring it home. Witness called for the umbrella at the Warwick Arms about three weeks later, but it was not then to be found. He valued the umbrella at £1. It was a present made to him. He identified the umbrella (produced) as his property by the band and the handle being loose, and by its general appearance. He did not give the woman the umbrella, and did not know what had become of it, until he saw it at the police station. He had never given any information to the police that the umbrella was missing, but he was quite positive it was his. Prosecutor remarked that he did not wish to press charge.
P.S. Parsons gave evidence of coming across the umbrella while executing a search warrant at prisoner’s house on March 29 last. The umbrella (produced) he found behind the door of the front room. Mrs. Farrant, who was with witness at the time picked up the umbrella and then said “That is Stanley Tucker’s umbrella, it was taken from our passage.” That was said in the presence of prisoner who made no reply to it. Witness took possession of it, and on Monday, April 2, he charged the prisoner with theft. She replied – “I never stole it; my husband brought it home from Temple Cloud, somewhere.”
P.C. Olargo also gave evidence.
Prisoner, who elected to be dealt with summarily, pleaded not guilty, but was unwilling to go into the box and give her statement on oath. She stated her husband brought the umbrella home from Temple Cloud; someone lent it to him. The Bench decided to convict, and imposed a further fine of 5s. Both fines were paid.
