It was reported 17th April 1852 that a disturbance
had occurred here during the previous week.
( On Saturday 3rd April 1852, at about 10 minutes to 12 at night,
William Bensley of New Catton was said to be seen by
Police-constable Williams to be drunk. Upon approach, it was claimed
that Williams hit the Bensley two or three times in the face.
Police-constable Smith however, said that he had entered the house
at about 5 minutes past 12 in the company of Williams, to clear the
house of several disreputable characters who had assembled. All had
left except Bensley who said he would not leave. Williams then put
Bensley out but did not strike him. The claim of assault, brought by
Bensley against the policeman, was dismissed.)
