Edgar Johnson was accused of assaulting Miriam Woodrow of Terrington. On the 12th September 1896 the lady had asked her son to meet her, that night, at the ferry, in order to help her with her shopping. However a boy and girl named Secker came instead and waited to assist. They waited from 3 pm and were drenched by a thunderstorm and unfortunately not seen by Mrs. Woodrow; they saw the last ferry sail without them. They told their story to landlord Edgar Johnson who took them in, dried their clothes, gave them supper, allowed them to sleep and took them home the following morning. Whilst they were having supper, Mrs. Woodrow came to the house and offered to take the children away to another local house. However the children refused to go and following an argument with Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Woodrow was ordered out. An altercation took place and apparently the complainant received a cut about the eye and a bloody nose from Mr. Johnson. For the `Spoiling of a Kindly Deed' Mr. Johnson was fined 2s 6d with 4s costs. |
