Preston Chronicle  10th October 1846

Thomas Pearson and William Pendlebury, were

drinking at the Shooters' Arms, Park Road, and

there being a sudden decline in the funds, the

latter worthy requested the other to go with him

to the house of William Yates, his father-in-law, 

from whence he abstracted two chairs and a table,

which they carried away between them, and sold

for a sum of money, which was speedily expended

in liquor. When arrested, Pendlebury said that it

was his property, and that he'd paid Pearson for

helping to carry it away.

In court, Yates was asked if Pendlebury lived with

him. He said, "Yes."  Pendlebury interjected and

said, "No. he lives with me."

The Magistrates discharged Pearson and committed

Pendlebury for trial.
