Newton Petty Sessions:  Mary Emma Charman, Bovey Tracey, was charged with being drunk and disorderly there on April 5th. P.C. Ellis said he found her sitting on a doorstep drunk. She used very bad language. — Defendant expressed her sorrow and was fined 12s or seven days. George Pinsent, the defendant’s stepfather, made application to the Bench that he might not be molested by her in future. He said she came from London nine years ago in ill-health, and he had treated her as he would one of his own children if he had any. His patience had now become exhausted through her drinking habits, and he did not want her there anymore.  The magistrates informed him that there was no obligation upon him to maintain her. It was a very hard case. If she interfered with him, he could call on the police. Mr. Pinsent: I will do one thing more I will pay the fine for her.
