14th February 1880 Kebel's Gazette Malicious Assault Walter TWYMAN, a boy, was charged with assaulting a girl named CRIMPS - Defendant pleaded guilty and prosecutrix stated that she received three blows on the chest from the defendant, when separating him and others from fighting. These blows made her very ill all the next day. Superintendent ROMANIS gave the boy a very bad character, they had a great many complaints against him. The Bench inflicted a fine of 1 shilling, with seven shillings costs, or in default seven days in prison. They warned him about his conduct. 8th March 1902 Her Eight Appearance Lily TWYMAN was charged with being drunk and incapable in Stanley Road at an early hour on Wednesday Morning, and pleaded that she was guilty and very sorry. P.Sgt BINNIE deposed that at 12.10 that morning he found the defendant lying helplessly drunk and fast asleep on the footway. He procured the assistance of P.C. MINTER, and by that time the defendant had rolled into the gutter, where she was still sleeping soundly. He took her to the Police Station on a barow. Chief Constable CLEGG said this was defendants eighth appearance at Margate, besides several times in Ramsgate. She had been taken in hand by Miss Smart, who found a home for her, but she ran away from it. The Mayor said defendant always expressed sorrow but did not seem to mend her ways. She was fined 10 shillings and 5 shillings costs with an alternative of 10 days imprisonment. Time for payment was refused. 3rd November 1906 A Local Pest Walter TWYMAN, of no fixed abode was charged with sleeping out without visable means of subsistence, and the charge, which is only one of the many against the defendant, was accentuated by the fact that his son, Walter Henry Georeg TWYMAN, was similarily charged. P.C.ARTHUR staed that at 2.10 on Monday morning he found the prisoner and his son sleeping in a store in Fort Road, belonging to Messrs Cobb and Co. The elder prisoner had nothing upon him, but his son had 4d in his possession, and his clothing, such as it was, was falling off him. The Chairman of the Bench said the father would be sentenced to a months imprisonment with hard labour, and the son would be discharged. The Bench regretted to say it appeared the man was bringing up his son in his own objectionable ways, and that in time he would make him as big a vagabond as himself. If he (the father) came up before them again he would most probaly be dealt with under the Vagrancy Act, and be sent to the Quarter Sessions for trial.

& yet an earlier one in Mocketts Journal for 1786. John Ansell of the Parish of St Peters, residing at a cottage called Sacketts Hill, near Margate, was murdered on his road from that place, where he had been drinking with CHARLES TWYMAN & others. on 2nd April, to a late hour, & was found by some persons who carried him home. A great hue & cry was made after CHARLES TWYMAN, but he was never taken, consequently he has escaped justice, (1836). His house was searched the next morning, & it has been conjectured that he was in the closet at the time, but his distressed wife leaning against the door, they did not remove her. If therefor, he was there, it led to his escape. Ansell was burried in St Peters Churchyard on 9th April.
