“The Merry Wives of Windsor”: Drama Society’s Great Performance. “The Merry Wives of Windsor,” that most delightful farce was staged by the Leicester Drama Society this week for the concluding portion of their season at the Opera House. You cannot be disgusted with Sir John, despite his coarseness; indeed, in that when the character is well acted our feelings must be one of profound sympathy for the old reprobate, and we must laugh with him at himself. This is certainly the impression made by Mr. Frank D. Clewlow’s fine characterization … … (positive review) … … The suitable amount of tragic weighting to the play was judiciously provided by Mr. Edgar Tyler in the role of Ford, who did not overstep the rage of the seemingly betrayed husband, and Mr. Harold Pinsent made a good foil to him as the quiet, trusting, Page. … (continues) …

Fatal Fall Downstairs: Mr. Harrison held an inquiry at the Martin Inn, Martin-street, Belgrave, on Wednesday morning, into the death of James Hyde, aged 34, a shoe finisher, who lived at 102, Harrington-street.  The widow, Emily Hyde, stated that her husband left home about noon on Monday last, and she did not see him again until about half-past one the next morning, when she found him lying at the foot of the stairs. Witness then heard a noise, which caused her to get out of bed to see what was wrong, and on going downstairs found the deceased as described. An alarm was raised, and a policeman came. Thomas Pincent, hairdresser, Catherine-street, said he knew the deceased as a customer, and about a quarter-past eleven o’clock on Monday night saw him going in the direction of his home. He was not sober. P.C. Stephens said on Tuesday morning he heard screams proceeding from the house of the deceased. At the request of Mrs. Hyde, the witness went into the house, and there found the deceased lying in a crouching position at the foot of the stairs, unconscious. Witness removed him, and sent for P.C. Challoner, of the county force.  Dr. E. Marriette said when he saw the body, about two o’clock on Tuesday morning the man had been dead for about half an hour. Death was caused by dislocation of the neck, in consequence of a fall. A verdict of accidental death was returned.

Ashby De La Zouch Petty Sessions: August 26th (before C. R. Colville, Esq. and the Rev. J. M. Echalez): Ann and Charlotte Brookes, sisters, two decently dressed little girls, apparently 9 and 11 years old, were charged with stealing two pairs of boots at Ashby, on Saturday, the 12th August. Thomas Pincent, of Loughborough, stated that on the before-mentioned day he had a shoe-stall in Ashby market, the two girls were standing near it, looking at the goods; when they were gone, he was asked by another stall keeper if he had lost any boots, as he saw the prisoners take some away. Got a policeman and followed them towards Heather, where they reside. Overtook them three miles from Ashby and took the two pairs of boots produced from them; they are his property and worth 10s. The father of the prisoners was present and acknowledged the offence on their behalf. Mr Echalaz severely reprimanded him for his profligate neglect of his children and habits of drunkenness, by which the unfortunate prisoners had in all probability been driven to commit the offence with which they stood charged: Fined 5s each and £1 4s 6d expenses. A fortnight allowed for payment.
