GLOUCESTER CITIZEN 1 27 April 1877 ALLEGED MURDER of A GLOUCESTER CITIZEN 1 27 April 1877 ALLEGED MURDER OF A BOATMAN A number of men were on Wednesday engaged in discharging a boat on the canal in Blackburn, when a man named Barber dropped a spade, to recover which he got out of the boat into the canal. He was prevented by Joseph Houghton, James Houghton, John Seddon and Michael Lassey from again entering the boat, pushed back into the canal, and drowned. All four men are in custody. 2 8 May 1877 Worcester MURDEROUS ASSAULT On Saturday night, William Weaver (20), boatman, had a quarrel with his brother-in-law, named David Brace. A fight ensued, in which Weaver was worsted. He thereupon went into his house in Lion Row and, procuring a large adze, he returned and struck Brace a murderous blow on the head. The injury inflicted was of the most serious character, and the wounded man was taken to the infirmary. Brace's skull is fractured, and the result at present is very uncertain. Weaver was taken before the city magistrates yesterday and remanded. 3 14 May 1877 City police, this day FAILING TO SUPPORT A FATHER William Drew, boatman, of Sherborne Street, appeared to a summons for leaving his father chargeable to the Gloucester Union. Mr Thurston, representing the Board of Guardians, said that he must ask the Bench to order the defendant to contribute to the support of his father, who was at present an inmate of the Workhouse. The defendant said his wife was in the last stage of consumption, and he had had no regular work since Christmas. Adjourned for a fortnight to give defendant an opportunity to arrange the matter with the Board of Guardians. 4 21 May 1877 DEATH BY DROWNING AT MAISEMORE – THE INQUEST – IMPORTANT EVIDENCE Mr M F Carter, the coroner for the western division of the County, held an inquest on Saturday afternoon, at the White Hart Inn, Maisemore, on the body of John Webb, boatman of Rudford, who came by his death in the manner described in the evidence. Considerable interest will be taken in the proceedings, owing to the serious charge which is brought against the companions of the deceased. Ambrose Webb, boatman, deposed : The deceased, who was 22 years of age, was my son. He was not employed on No 50 boat of the Severn and Canal Carrying Company, but was engaged in loading her. Charles Hale, of Upper Quay Lane, deposed : I am boatman of No 50 boat of the Severn and Canal Carrying Company. Mr Edwin Norris is the secretary of the company. I was engaged as a hobbler to bring the boat round to Over. Deceased was also a hobbler, but Mayo, who was in charge of the boat, told me that deceased was going to Hereford. We left Gloucester about 3pm on Wednesday last in tow of a steamer. When we started, neither Captain Mayo nor Thomas Cooper (who was also on board) were sober. Between 4 and 5, deceased was put ashore to look after the line, and he afterwards jumped into the river and swam to the boat. I helped him on board and begged him to stay there. Almost at once, however, he jumped into the river, and struck out for the shore. The boat meanwhile was going on, and deceased was swimming at the stern. He said he would follow the boat, which was approaching Maisemore Bridge. When the boat reached the bridge deceased was still swimming behind, but on getting through he was lost sight of, and they were unable to find what had become of him. At that time, Mayo was forwards, and I was steering. Mayo then jumped in and swam ashore to see where deceased was. Shortly after, he returned to the bank crying, and said, “Poor Jack is drowned. I have seen the last of him”. Search was then made for the body, but without effect. I was quite sober. Henry Webb, lock-keeper at Maisemore, said No 50 boat passed through the lock at 4.30 pm on Wednesday last. I saw deceased on shore. He was the worse for beer. Thomas Cooper was also on shore. He was the worse for beer. I saw the deceased jump into the river and swim to the boat. The next time I saw him, he was floating down a few yards on the upper side of the bridge. I threw a line to him, but he seemed too much exhausted to take hold of it. It is about 30 yards from the lock to the bridge, and probably about 100 from the bridge to the place where deceased jumped in first. Previously to throwing the line, I called out to the men in one of Mr Rowle's boats, which was at hand, to bring a boat, but they did not do so, though they must have seen the deceased floating. The barge was the Wherry, and Captain Aldridge was in charge of her. I saw the deceased sink under the bridge, and he only rose once. Charles Hale, recalled : Before deceased jumped off the boat, Mayo had lost a shaft. Immediately after, deceased jumped in, but he pushed the shaft away from the boat, and not towards it. Mayo told me after deceased was drowned that he went in after the shaft. William Voyce, boatman of Gloucester, deposed to the recovery of the body, which was found in a hole just below the bridge on the 17th inst. The Coroner said the case was one of the most disgraceful he had ever heard of, and he should not be doing his duty if he did not order the company to take out summonses against Mayo and Cooper. It was quite evident that if they had been sober the deceased would have been rescued. He should report Aldridge to Mr Rowles for refusing to send a boat to the relief of deceased, while the conduct of Mayo would be reported to Mr Norris, the secretary of the company. Holding, as he did, an important public position, he should not allow the circumstances of the case to escape the most searching investigation. The jury returned a verdict of “Accidental death”. 5 29 May 1877 Worcester THE LATE MURDEROUS ASSAULT At the City Police Court yesterday, before the Mayor and other magistrates, Wm Weaver (20), boatman, was charged with unlawfully wounding David Brace, another boatman. Mr Pitt defended. It will be remembered that the parties are brothers-in- law, and on the night of the 5th May, a quarrel took place between them, and the prosecutor struck the prisoner. After a fight, prisoner went away. Prosecutor followed prisoner into his house, when prisoner seized hold of an axe and struck prisoner on the head. The injuries were such that Brace had to be removed to the Infirmary, where he had remained up to the present time, under treatment. At the hearing yesterday, prosecutor gave his evidence very unwillingly, and stated his wish not to proceed with the case. It appeared that the quarrel arose out of some betting transactions. Mr Wilding, house surgeon at the Infirmary, said that the prosecutor was taken there suffering from a wound extending from above the right eye over the forehead. It was three inches long, and had penetrated the skull. The man would be under treatment for some time to come. The Bench committed prisoner to the Sessions, but admitted him to bail. 6 26 June 1877 ASSAULTING A POLICEMAN A canal boatman named Henry Smith was charged at the Birmingham Police Court yesterday with a violent assault upon Police-constable London, on the banks of the Warwick Canal on Saturday evening. London had interfered to protect Smith's wife against the prisoner's drunken violence, when the latter attacked him with an axe, which struck him on the right side of the head, fracturing his skull. As London lies at the hospital in rather a precarious state, the prisoner was remanded. A man named Leonard was fined by the magistrates 20s and costs for exciting the mob to rescue Smith from the hands of the police. 7 4 July 1877 Gloucestershire Quarter Sessions STEALING MONEY Thomas Hickman, boatman, pleaded guilty to stealing at Ashleworth in April last, six pounds sixteen shillings, the moneys of Edwin Saddler. There being a previous conviction, the prisoner was sentenced to six months imprisonment, with hard labour, and two years police supervision. 8 17 July 1877 William Boswell, of Barnston (sic), Northampton, canal boatman, was charged at the Birmingham Police Court yesterday with shooting a boy named Connor. It appeared that a number of boys stood on Lea Bridge, which crosses the canal on the Dudley Road, when the prisoner discharged a gun at them, and several shots struck the complainant, and seriously injured him. Stones are frequently thrown by children upon the boatmen when passing under the bridge, and the prisoner said he discharged the gun to frighten them, a missile having just before been thrown into his cabin. The Bench committed him for trial at the sessions. 9 25 July 1877 THE ALLEGED MURDER OF A BOATMAN NEAR CHESTER At the Chester Assizes last evening, the Grand Jury ignored the bill against John and Jane Probert, charged with the murder of a boatman named Charles Moston, at Waverton near Chester on the 15th or 16th of April. Deceased was found dead on the towing path of the canal, having been seen in the company of the accused. The counsel for the prosecution did not proceed on the coroner's warrant, and the judge said that, having read the depositions over and over, he had come to the conclusion that there was no evidence to convict the prisoners.

  • Frampton on Severn Lies on the East Bank of the River Severn Approximately Ten Miles South of Gloucester
    Frampton on Severn lies on the east bank of the river Severn approximately ten miles south of Gloucester. With a population of around 1200, it is the largest village in the Berkeley Vale and boasts the longest village green in England. Reputedly this was used as a practice area for medieval bowmen, was the site of a parliamentary garrison in 1643 and the local militia, formed in 1795 to combat the threat of invasion by Napoleon, regularly drilled up and down its half mile length. FRAMPTON REMEMBERS WW1 has been inspired by the Gloucestershire Remembers WW1 project. We shall look at the effects of the Great War on our village and its inhabitants by drawing on extensive archives from a number of public sources. We will combine these with the private records of the many families whose connections with the village are still maintained. THE WAR EFFORT Chocolate was considered to be a great morale booster during WW1. Cadbury Bros Ltd opened a factory in Frampton on Severn in 1916 which helped to produce chocolate for the soldiers in the trenches. Cadburys started up a number of recreational and sporting clubs in the village, many of which still exist today. German prisoners of war extracted gravel, making some into concrete building blocks. One of these became a memorial to a colleague who died. Gravel from Frampton was also used in the construction of Chepstow dockyard during the war. The gravel pits are now lakes which are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for their varied wildlife and habitat. SCHOOL LIFE The death of our pupil teacher, Frederick Robert Hitchings, was a bitter blow to those at school.

  • Communications Roads Cheltenham Lies on Routes Connecting the Upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the East and Midlands to the North
    DRAFT – VCH Gloucestershire 15 [Cheltenham] Communications Roads Cheltenham lies on routes connecting the upper Severn Vale with the Cotswolds to the east and Midlands to the north. Several major ancient routes passed nearby, including the Fosse Way, White Way and Salt Way, and the town was linked into this important network of roads by more local, minor routes. Cheltenham may have been joined to the Salt Way running from Droitwich to Lechlade1 by Saleweistrete,2 or by the old coach road to London, the Cheltenham end of which was known as Greenway Lane;3 the White Way running north from Cirencester passed through Sandford.4 The medieval settlement of Cheltenham was largely ranged along a single high street running south-east and north-west, with its church and manorial complex adjacent to the south, and burgage plots (some still traceable in modern boundaries) running back from both frontages.5 Documents produced in the course of administering the liberty of Cheltenham refer to the via regis, the king’s highway, which is likely to be a reference to this public road running through the liberty. 6 Other forms include ‘the royal way at Herstret’ and ‘the royal way in the way of Cheltenham’ (in via de Cheltenham). Infringements recorded upon the via regis included digging and ploughing, obstruction with timbers and dungheaps, the growth of trees and building of houses.7 The most important local roads were those running from Cheltenham to Gloucester, and Cheltenham to Winchcombe, where the liberty administrators were frequently engaged in defending their lords’ rights. Leland described the roads around Cheltenham, Gloucester and Tewkesbury as ‘subject to al sodeyne risings of Syverne, so that aftar reignes it is very foule to 1 W.S.

Harvie stated that the solar farm development will be at the bottom of his drive and therefore he declared an interest. 3. MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER MEETING: The minutes were agreed and signed as a true record of the meeting. 4. MATTERS ARISING: The request for funding from Cllr. Davies has been submitted 5. POLICE REPORT: PCSO Addinall provided the following update by email: I did research on incidents from the last meeting until last Fridays date and compared it to last year. There were no crimes reported last year but there were 2 this year. These were an isolated incident and obviously due to data protection I cannot give you the full details but can confirm that they are not crimes that affect the general public like car crime or burglaries. On that note unfortunately burglaries are on the increase across the whole of the Gloucestershire constabulary but Gloucester south have not been affected by this crime compared to other areas. However, our normal crime prevention advise still stands.
