Cheltenham Chronicle: Saturday 24th February 1906

William Edward Sydney Pinsent (30) a respectable-looking man, who gave the address of 4 New-buildings, Coney Hill, Gloucester, jeweller, was in custody charged with indecent exposure in Chester-walk on Saturday. He denied that his conduct was wilful, but the evidence Alfred Carter, licensed victualler, showed that prisoner’s conduct before two young females who were passing was of a most flagrant and disgraceful description.  P.C. Harding having deposed to arresting the prisoner, the Clerk stated that Pinsent had been convicted and heavily sentenced both at Gloucester and Bristol for like offences, and the question was whether he ought not to be treated as an incorrigible rogue and vagabond. Prisoner was sentenced to three months’ hard labour as a rogue and a vagabond.
