EASTER MONDAY SCENES AT THE FOREST

A number of gipsy van-Dlewellers who live on spare land adjacent to Dalestorth-street, Sutton, appeared at Mansfield Police-court  yesterday when Maria, Rebecca, and Henry Wiltshire  were summoned for assaulting Ada Wiltshire , whilst Ada was cross-summoned by Maria and Rebecca, the latter also  summoning Lydia Wiltshire. Ada said the bother commenced about midday on Easter Monday, when Maria first struck her in the mouth, and witness retaliated, and they fought. Then Maria sent for William Wiltshire and Rebecca, Witness was challenged by Rebecca and after they had fought, William thrashed her. An hour afterwards, when witness was going home, Rebecca met her, took her to a piece of level ground, and begged of her to fight—in fact made her fight. After they had fought, Rebecca fetched Henry Wiltshire, and after they had thrown stones at her and the van in which she was living. Witness asked another woman to fetch a policeman, but before he came Henry ran at her (witness) and struck her, than she fell. While she was on the ground, Henry kicked her and then invited Rebecca, whilst she was exhausted, to give it to her. Mr. J. W. Fenoughty, Rotherham, addressed the Bench on behalf of the male defendant, and said he wished to know why his name had I been brought into those proceedings. On Saturday before Easter he was living with his wife at Arnold, and she left him, and he slept alone in the van on Saturday and Sunday nights. She took all the things away with her, and all the money, and said in a matter of fact, he had to sell the van as a means of substanance. In the box Henry Wiltshire bore out this statement, and denied striking his wife. After retiring the Chairman said the Bench had carefully considered the same. and had decided to dismiss the whole of them, the parties to pay the costs

. COULDN'T GET DRUNK OVERSEAS.
SOLDIER FINED FOR ASSAULTING NOTTINGHAM POLICEMAN.
For assaulting the Nottingham police on Saturday Ernest Owen, private in the Essex Regiment, on home leave from overseas, was fined at the Nottingham Bench to-day. He pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly, and Sarah Wiltshire had to pay 20s. for obstructing the police. at 10.35 p-m. Owen was creating with his wife and when told to go away he was violent and struck P.c. Clark with his fist. other constables went to Clark's assistance, and they had to drag him a distance of about a hundred yards. The woman Wiltshire did her best to get Owen away, hanging on to the police all the time. P.c. Clark described prisoner's conduct as that of a madman he declined to walk, so they had to carry him.  Mr. A. F. Young, who appeared for Owen, said that one of the policemen had some ill feeling against him. He was having some words with his wife, when one of the policemen threatened to look him up. He retorted that they could not do that for a quarrell with his wife, whereupon they then proceeded to show him that they could, and further, the police opened the offensive hitting him, and he defended himself . Unfortunately, he got the worst of it when a whistle was blown and the first two officers were reinforced by two others, the soldier being then frog-marched to the Bath-street Police-station. Owen gave evidence, and admitted he was drunk at the time. The Constable: Why didn't you behave yourself? Accused: You can't get drunk in France or Germany. Two other soldiers, one wearing the ribbon of the D.C.M., and a discharged soldier were called to state that the police were the first to strike Owen, and one of them told the magistrates that the officers got him down and kicked him. Mr. T. Shipstone (chairman) said Owen had been getting into trouble ever since 1909, and they did not believe his story and that of his witnesses. He was fined as stated for the assault, and a similar amount for being drunk and disorderly. Wiltshire was fined 20s. for obstructing the police

Some of these are extremely interesting... Ernest Owen seemed like a  lively character. Interesting to see Sarah and Mary in news reports with him.

I need to start researching ways of getting  criminal mug shots of people... I would so much love to see the people of old.

Remember that for every record found in the Newspapers reguarding situations that tell of certain storys, well trust me, if a man goes to court for poaching, he will have been poaching maybe hundreds of times, if a man is up in court for fighting, well again he is a fighting man, you will have the one offs in life, but trust me, use the records i show you to understand, for every time a man is taken by the police, well a hundred times before he got away with it, a bit of this or a bit of that can happen, but i am sure you know what i am saying, i will start looking at the Woodwards soon for you, there seems to be lots over this way, i know the records have them with the Wilshers over many times as Gipsys, i just can not work out why there are Woodwards going back a long time in Nottingham, maybe lots this way are not the same Woodwards, i will put everything on for you in some weeks time

can you find out if Joseph Lewis who was killed in WW1 was the grandson of old Joseph Wilsher, it says in the record i showed you that his Mother was Sarah, a Sarah married that Lewis man you said, so young Joe Lewis may be of the Gipsys, if he is hes going on the Gipsy Roll of Honour, try and find out will you

can you tell me when the boy David died, how old was he, my Mother told me about him, was he rearly Rebeccas child, if you tell me the dates things maybe will make sence to me, i still remember my Mother talking of a David, it would be good for me to know the truth, there was an old photo of a young Boy who was a sickly child and a scarf round his kneck, but that could have been one of my older brothers, my Mother would then talk of a David, you told me you found him burried with Rebecca, and Rebeccas Mother Mariah, and Rebeccas brother William, you said it was Young William for it told of the date so you must know the date of David, will you tell me, young William used to say his name was David Hartley, this must of been before the Boy David who is in the grave was born, so i think there is an older David, Rebecca named uncle Billy after all the Williams going back generations, she named my Mother after herself, if you look at one of the census reports with Mariah on it says Maria R wilsher, or Wiltshire or Wiltshaw, i think that R could be Rebecca meaning its another past down name, i would like to find out the real truth and you may be able to help me

 these are the census reports as you wrote and as Sue sent me, they have the Mariah R Wilsher stated, i was just wandering does the R meen Rebecca
