Cullompton: The Cullompton petty session was held on Monday before the Reverends. J. Huyshe and J.P. Sydenham, and G.M. Marker, Esq.: James, William, Sidney, Edwin, and Henry Rowland (brothers) were charged with assaulting P.C. Pynsent while in the execution of his duty at Culmstock. Mr. Toby defended. Pynsent deposed that about eleven o’clock on the night of the 4th instant, he was informed that James Rowland, a deserter from the 66th Regiment, was at the house of his brothers. He went there, and found the defendant accreted in the partition of a wall. On his making this discovery the defendants fell upon him. William Rowland cut the string of his staff and wrenched it from him. James Rowland was also very violent towards him, as were also Sidney and Edwin the former caught hold of his legs and tripped him. The other defendant (Henry) was the less violent and endeavoured to persuade his brothers not to injure the witness. In the affray his clothes were much damaged and, had not Messrs. Braddick and Woodbury come to his assistance, he would probably have been seriously injured. The defendants James, William and Sidney were taken into custody, and a summons procured for the other two. …. [defendant’s lawyer said that the police constable had no right to search the house without a warrant]. The Bench retired to consider their decision and on again coming into Court, the Chairman said they were of the opinion that the assault n the police constable was very brutal one. The two defendants, James and William were sent to prison for three months hard labour, Edwin and Sidney were fined 20s each, of fourteen days, and allowed a fortnight to pay. ….. James Rowland, at the conclusion of the case, admitted being a deserter from the 66th Regiment of Foot. … …

Cullompton: Petty Sessions: Monday: Before C. R. Collins, Esq., (Chairman), Rev. J. P. Sydenham, J. C. New, Esq., and G. M. Marker, Esq. … Sarah Gibbons, of Hemyock, was summoned for stealing a shawl, the property of Elizabeth Snow. The prosecutrix said that on the 2nd March she left a shawl in the waiting room at the Burlescombe Station. From information received her husband went to the prisoner’s hose where he saw the prisoner’s daughter, who gave up half the missing shawl, which had been cut in two, and said her mother had taken it by mistake for one she had left there on the day in question. This was corroborated by Francis Snow, the prosecutrix’s husband. William Pynsent a porter at the Burlescombe Station, said that he saw the prisoner take the shawl from the waiting room on the morning of the 2nd instant. He did not know at the time but what it belonged to her. P.C. Froude said that on going to the prisoner’s house, after some altercation, part of the shawl was given up to him, the other half, which was sent away, had since been found. The prisoner in defence said that she went to the Station to fetch her daughter’s luggage who had that morning come by train. Not knowing exactly what luggage she had she took the shawl by mistake and not with any felonious intention. The Bench considered that the prisoner if she did not know the shawl belonged to her daughter at the time, she took it must have found out the mistake when she got home and were of opinion that she had acted very dishonestly. She was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment with hard labour.
