"Hull and Eastern Counties Herald" 2 February 1865 (Karen Atkin) -------------------------------------------------- BARTON County Court, Friday:[Before Mr J.G.TEED, Judge]; Mr MACKRILL drew his honours' attention to the non service of summonses in this district in time to allow the defendants to give an answer to the claim.- His Honour said the officers of the Court would be instructed to deliver the summonses in time. It should be generally known in this neighbourhood that the summonses should, in order to ensure their service, be delivered to the bailiff at least twelve clear days before the day of the hearing.- Mr MACKRILL stated that the officers had found great difficulty in serving summonses taken out after the above date. INGRAM vs. WARDLE [Jury case]:- In this case the plaintiff, a brickmaker of Barton, sought to recover from the defendant the sum of £18 8s 9d for bricks sold and delivered. The defendant is also a brickmaker, and resides at Ferriby Sluice. Mr PRIESTLEY [NOWELL & PRIESTLEY] for the plaintiff, Mr MACKRILL for the defendant.- The accounts between the parties extend over many years, and amount to a considerable sum.- The defendant pleaded a set off of £20 10s 10d, for freightage of coals from the collieries to the plaintiffs place of business. The point disputed was whether the plaintiff agreed to pay for such freightage at the rate of 3s 3d per ton or £8 per cargo. That the sum should be £8 the defendant persistently adhered to, alleging that as his vessels carried 75 tons the charge would be nearly equal either way.- On the other hand, the plaintiff said that the defendant never did fetch 75 tons of coal for him at a time, and that if 3s 3d per ton as agreed by him [the plaintiff], the amount payable would be less than £8. Another disputed topic was whether the bricks sold by the plaintiff to the defendant, or at least the last two lots of 25,000 each, were sold at 19s or 21s per thousand.- The jury returned a verdict that the cargoes were to be carried at the rate of 3s 3d per ton , and that the charge for the bricks ought to be 21s per thousand . On this basis the matter was referred to arbitration. CARLILE vs. KIRKBY and LANGTON:- This was an action to recover the sum of £19 5s 4d, and was heard before a jury.- Mr MACKRILL for the plaintiff and Mr PREISTLEY for the defendant.- The plaintiff is a master mariner and innkeeper, residing at Hull and the defendants are potato dealers, living at Whitton. The amount had become due through work done in carrying potatoes from East Butterwick to Patrington, and turnips from East Butterwick to Goole, and for various other items of freightage.- Mr PRIESTLEY objected to the three sums charged on the ground of excess over bargain, and also objected to the defendant LANGTON being sued at all, as he had nothing to do with the transaction. A person named LAMING was joined with KIRKBY in the matters, and it was alleged that he was the proper person to have been proceeded against with KIRKBY. Mr PRIESTLEY also contended that if LAMING had been sued, he might have been able to offer such a valid defence as would have cleared himself and his partner..- His Honour read the 68th section of the 9th and 10th Victoria, which said that it shall be sufficient for any person connected in a partnership to be summoned, and that if a judgement be given against him, then every such person should be entitled to recover against the other partners.- Evidence was then called to prove that the defendant had actually paid to the plaintiff by £2 than was due to him. Some of the receipts produced were declared by the plaintiff to be forgeries. A verdict was given for the plaintiff against KIRKBY for the sum of £19 5s 4d. SLINGSBY vs. BECK, DENT and SMITH: [Jury case]- Plaintiff is a potato merchant, living at Winteringham, and the defendants reside at Saxby.- Mr PRIESTLEY was for the plaintiff.- About the end of October the defendant BECK told the plaintiff that he and the other defendants had purchased three and a half acres of potatoes, at £13 per acre, and that he would sell their bargain to the plaintiff, if he would give them £1 profit. On a subsequent occasion the plaintiff agreed to the terms, and gave DENT 2s 6d to bind the agreement. The defendants, however, disregarding this contract, resold the potatoes at a profit of £7, which sum the plaintiff now sought to recover, less the £1 which he was to allow them, and plus the 2s 6d paid as a 'fastening penny', making the claim amount o £6 2s 6d.- For the defence, it was alleged that BECK was the owner of the potatoes, and that he refused to accept the 2s 6d paid as deposit money by the plaintiff to DENT.- Plaintiff non-suited. GIBSON vs. MOSS: Claim £10 - Mr H.R. MASON for the plaintiff, and Mr MACKRILL for the defendant.-This was an action to recover the sum of £10, damages sustained by defendants servant unskilfully driving a horse and omnibus in such a manner that a horse belonging to the plaintiff was seriously injured. The defendant is also an innkeeper, and runs an omnibus between the George Inn, Barton, and the railway station. On the 23rd of November, the omnibus driven by a man named HOLMES was going on its journey from the station, and when within a short distance of Mr GIBSONS yard it ran into, or was ran into, by a cart laden with manure coming form his premises.- Conflicting testimony was given as to who was to blame for the collision.- Plaintiff non-suited. GRIMSBY BOROUGH POLICE; Jan. 30:- THOMAS ASHWORTH, a tramping iron turner, was sent to prison for begging.----WALTER MAGER, an apprentice with Mr BRUSEY, smackowner, was charged with absconding from his masters service, and committed to prison for one month.----THOMAS TARTALLEN, a youth living with his parents in Garibaldi Street, was brought up charged with stealing 5s from the till at the Co-operative Stores, in Lower Burgess Street, where he had been employed as a shop boy.- He was committed to prison for one day.-------THOMAS BRIGGS, a young man employed at Bingham's Hotel, was charged with sliding upon the footpaths.- Dismissed on payment of a fine and costs, 7s 6d. BUILDING SOCIETY:- Last week the annual meeting of the Great Grimsby and North Lincolnshire Permanent Building and Investment Society was held in the new Town Hall, Mr Wm SKELTON, president, in the chair. The report and the accounts were unanimously adopted. Mr W.W. COPELAND was elected a director in the place of Mr LEE, and Mr A. BATES was re-elected an auditor. It appeared from the report that there had been an increase in the amount of mortgage money advanced of £1965 over the preceding year, and that the balance in favour of the profit account shows an increase of £30. The auditors in passing through the accounts expressed a wish that each members account be kept separately, and that the pass-books should be compared with the Society's books every year. The directors therefore recommend the adoption of the same for the better security of the members. A vote of thanks to the President having been given for his services, the meeting terminated. ACCIDENT:- On Monday afternoon, 30th ult, between four and five o'clock, as Mr WALKER MOODY's horse, of Cleethorpes, was standing in the hey cart near the Post-office, at Grimsby, the horse took fright at something and ran away with great fury on to the foot pavement towards the Market place; near the Corn Exchange dashed into Mr GAIT's shop window, smashing several panes and otherwise doing damage. Away it bounded off upon Mr KENNINGTON's and Mr GOOSEMAN's shop, and in turning round Mr PALMER's corner, the hairdresser, the vehicle was overturned and the horse fell against the Black Swan. A boy was thrown out and otherwise injured, but through medical attention it is hoped he will not be much worse. The mischief, however, which might have resulted if the horse had not been stopped by the fall is fearful to contemplate. "Hull and Eastern Counties Herald" 1 June 1865 (Karen Atkin) ---------------------------------------------- BARTON Petty Sessions; Monday:- MARY CHAPMAN was charged with assaulting ELLEN MOODY, at Ferriby Sluice, on Saturday morning last, and was fined 2s 6d and costs.-- JOHN BLANCHARD was charged on remand with stealing money form the person of THOMAS USHER, at the White Swan Inn. No evidence was adduced that could connect the prisoner in any way with the alleged robbery, and he was discharged. GRIMSBY Police Court; Monday:- ELIZABETH HILL, married woman, charged MARY WRIGHT with an assault.- The magistrate dismissed the case, wishing the parties would live more comfortably as neighbours, and use better language: the costs to be divided by each party.-- T.BORRILL, a fisherman, was charged by H.SCHMIDT, manager of the refreshment rooms at the Royal Dock, with stealing, on Thursday last, one gallon of porter from a jug that had been left by the prosecutor in the refreshment room. While he was away prisoner invited some 15 or 18 of his companions to drink the contents, which they did, and placed the empty jug in its former place. Soon after they had left the place the prosecutor informed the police, and a warrant was taken out to apprehend the prisoner, who acknowledged the fact that he and his friends did drink the porter, and proceeded at once to the refreshment room and paid the money, 2s, the value of the porter. On being asked this, the prosecutor acknowledged that he had received the 2s, but it was after the warrant was out.-P.S CRAGG apprehended the prisoner on Saturday. The above facts were merely recapitulated.-The prisoner pleaded guilty of taking the porter. It was done in a 'lark'.- The mayor dismissed the case, and cautioned not only the prisoner for his folly, but likewise the keeper of the refreshment rooms, as many complaints of the disorderly character of that place had been made to the police.
