WILFUL DAMAGE

Thomas Atherton, alias "Star Gazer" was brought before the Bench for the

52nd time, charged with wilfully breaking a glass panel, the property of 

Moses Holden, landlord of the Aughton Arms beerhouse, Aughton Street. 

About noon the previous day the prisoner wished to go into the prosecutor's

house, but was not allowed, whereupon he broke the panel. He was

imprisoned for one month with hard labour.

NB. MOSES HOLDEN was a well-known Preston Astronomer of

some repute who died in 1864. The reference here is an error!. 

The landlord was Moses Holmes
