An inquest was held on Tuesday last, at Drybeck, in Westmorland, on the body of child, ten months old, named Jane Winter. She was the daughter of Thomas Winter, hawker, of Lanchester, Durham. On Saturday Winter and his family were returning from Appleby fair.  At Qaredale they took the horse out of the cart, in order to feed it; and in attempting to put the harness on it again, it ran away, and knocked the child out of the arms of a little girl who was nursing her, and trod heavily upon her body, causing such injuries that she died the next day.—A verdict of “Accidental death was returned.

CURIOUS AND FATAL ACCIDENT A HAWKER'S CHILD.
On Tuesday last Mr C. G. Thomson, coroner, conducted an inquest at the Railway Inn, on account of the death of a little child,’ Jane Winter, aged I0 months, daughter of Thomas Winter, who for the past few months had been travelling about the country as a hawker. The child had been knocked down by a horse on the Saturday night previous, and death resulted from the injuries then received, on the Sunday. The particulars of the accident are embodied in the following evidence:— Alice Winter, wife of Thomas Winter, Wellingham, swill maker, deposed —The deceased, June Winter, was my daughter. She was 10 months old on the 3rd this month. We left Wolsingham about four months ago—just travelling here and there and making a living by hawking. Myself and husband and five children and the deceased comprised our family. We had been attending Appleby fair last Wednesday, and left Appleby that day along with a man named Phil Kelly who had a horse and cart. We stayed in Soul Lane on Wednesday night. On Thursday night we stayed near old Abbey between Kirkby Stephen and the Moor Cock. On Friday night we stayed near the Moor Cock, and on Saturday we camped down Qaredale. We camped out each night Between eight and nine o'clock on Saturday night we loosed out the horse and intended remaining there all night when two gentleman came and told us to move forward to a moor near Sedbergh. John Kelly (brother to Phil) went to fetch his horse, and whilst he was putting the saddle and harness on, it slipped away from him and went trotting up the road after another horse. My daughter, Phillis Winter, had deceased in her arms, and the horse ran against her and knocked her down with such force that she let deceased fall out of her arms, and the horse's hind foot trod on the low part of deceased' Body. Daughter Phillis is nine years of age. I ran and picked up deceased. She cried for about 18 minutes, and then i then gave her the breast and she was quiet. Then we went forward, and on Sunday I took deceased to Dr. Swain, who gave deceased a powder, and recommended to foment the body with warm water and warm cloths. I did to. We went forward on Sunday to Blackbeck, in Middleton, and remained there. About 11 o'clock on Sunday morning deceased commenced taking fits, and continued to take them every three or four minutes untill she died about 11 o'clock. Before the fits commenced deceased appeared be going on nicely. no allegations of any carelessness were against John Kelly. The occurrence was quite accidental. Daughter Phillis had her back to the horse when she was knocked down. John Kelly, of Colliery Dykes, in the county of Durham, tinner, deposed.—l have been travelling with last witness's husband and family for a month. About nine o'clock on Saturday night instant i was harnessing my brother's mare, when she turned about just as I was picking up the saddle, and trotted or cantered up the road. Winter's little girl was standing on the
road about fifteen yards from the cart, with deceased in her arms. The mare ran against deceased’s sister and knocked her down, and deceased fell from her arms, and the horse stopped on deceased's body with i think its hind foot. There was nothing that frightened the horse. It is a very old horse, and has the habit of slipping away from you. We did not know that habit then, we only got it at Appleby fair. The jury returned verdict of ‘‘Accidental death.”

Medicine use- “Narcotic and soothing” The assistant told the girl to be very careful with it, as it was deadly poison, and the girl went away. It was also shown that the girl had obtained the poison of John Calvert, chemist, in Idle-road, stating it was for her mother; and Dr. Hirst, of the Infirmary, said she must have taken a large doze of it. The friends of the deceased did not know why she should have taken the laudanum, and the jury returned a verdict that death was due to poison, self-administered, but that there was no evidence to show the state of the mind of the deceased when she took it

DUNKELD. MOTOR AND CARAVAN COLLIDE.—A sequel to a recent motor accident near Ballinhoig was heard in Perth Sheriff Court on Saturday, when William Sheriff, motor lorry driver, Dunkeld, denied having, on 8th July, on the road between Pitlochry and  Ballinhoig Driving a motor lorry, which collided with a caravan driven by Albert Edward Winter, whereby Winter was thrown out of the van and the caravan damaged. The story of the prosecution was that the caravan was approaching Ballinhoig, and a motor car was coming towards it. Winter pulled into the side of the road, and as the car was passing, the motor lorry struck the caravan. A shaft of the caravan was broken, as well as an axle and two springs, while the horse bolted. Winter was thrown from his seat.  The defence was that the driver of the car was to blame in respect that he did not pull up. The Sheriff found the charge proved.

 This is part two of three of my research regarding the Winters before during and after WW1, if anyone reads into my finding here and can elaborate more I would welcome your input. 
  Some years ago maybe ten or more Sue the noted researcher of Gipsy genealogy helped me to learn of the census records, I asked of the wilshers and also in a general way the Winters, I to am like others who claim they are not looking to make contact with far of connections, I am just researching for personal knowledge, the Winters through family oral talk was stated as being related so of course i was interested in such things on a personal level, Sue told me of all the research she had done, how she had worked very hard researching records pre the internet days, listening to her i wondered how a person could be so dedicated to travel round to all those officers that hold the old records and systematically go through them hour after hour, it was what Sue told me though, she  spoke of her  old notes, she  spoke of all her reading, her  knowledge,  Sue told how no one ever spoke about the Winters or the Wilshers in written records, this did not mean nothing to me as I had not evan thought that there were books out there in the first place, it was only after first starting to research that i discovered things like so-called Gipsy scholars, through my own research now i have come to the conclusion that many Gipsies of the past gave the so-called scholars a wide berth, more that them who would be of the type to go telling them things, in fact i think now most of the written history of Gipsies is wrong, the ones with the pen decided who would be spoke of and indeed how they would be spoke of, through reading many manuscripts and records i believe many Gipsys were missed out of writings for they saw the writers off, I will share I few of the links with you all on rootschat who are interested, there is some good reading for you to learn of genealogy in the written sense.
