CHARGE OF POCKETPICKING AND
ATTEMPTING TO STAB
Thomas Richardson, a discharged soldier, was charged with picking the pocket of Henry Vernon, and also attempting to stab the officer who took him into custody on that charge. Vernon said on the previous evening he was sat at the Queen's Arms public house, in North Road, in company with the prisoner and another person. He had just received from the post office, for Robert Gornall, with whom he lived, the sum of 8 shillings.
After he had been in the Queen's Arms a short time, the prisoner put his hand in his (prosecutor's) pocket, and took out 7s 8d. He afterwards gave information to the police.
The prisoner, who is brother-in-law to the prosecutor, said Vernon came to him and asked what he should do with the 8s., and he answered that he did not care what he did with it. If he had taken any money it had been spent in the company.
David Wilkins deposed to seeing the prisoner take the money.
P.C. Edmondson said that when he went to apprehend the prisoner at his house in Almond Row, he pulled out a clasp knife, and swore by his Maker that he would "open his bloody guts for him." The witness obtained the assistance of another policeman, and he was conveyed with great difficulty to the police station. He struck the officer several times.
The prisoner said that he was wounded in the head in the Crimea, and a little drink had a great effect on him. It was stated that there was another case of felony against the prisoner, and he was remanded to Wednesday.
THE CHARGE OF POCKETPICKING AND ATTEMPTING TO STAB A POLICEMAN
Thomas Richardson, remanded from Monday, was again placed in the dock. Mr. Townsend, landlord of the Queen's Arms Inn, North Road, stated that on Monday evening week, a person named Calvert, left a mackintosh in his care; he hung it up in the lobby and missed it on Tuesday morning last, the day after the prisoner had been in the house.
P.C. Upton said he went to the prisoner's house on the morning of Tuesday last; there was no one in. A mackintosh was burning on the fire; he saved some part of it, and produced the pieces in court. The prisoner was remanded for a week.

Taken from the P.N.E. Handbook of the 1898 - 99 Season
*
During the 1st World War, both Richard Turner
and his son William were away serving in the army,
and family legend has it that the licence was lost
during that period 'for running a disorderly house'.
Can anybody add to this account?
This information has been sent to me by
William Turner's grandson.
