Hampshire Telegraph 1864 We regret that Charles BULLOCK, the witness against the poacher BRADING, at the Petty Sessions on Saturday was deliberately shot at on Saturday night in the Whitefield wood, about half past ten whilst on duty, by one of the same gang of poachers , named CHESSEL (who was fined 3 weeks ago at Newport for poaching,) and he is so dreadfully wounded in the groin that little hopes are entertained of his recovery. The other woodman, after a severe struggle, secured CHESSEL and are both now in Ryde under medical supervision. Bankrupts - Daniel ORCHARD , of Ryde , waiter, driver and lodging house keeper. Some dispute to his status as a bankrupt due to him off loading assets to his daughter and other family members before declaring himself bankrupt. Edward EDNEY and Charlotte his wife charged with assault on Selina ELLIOT, the landlady of the 'Britannia' ,Public House at West Cowes. The female defendant was also charged with an assault on Mary ELLIOT the landlady's daughter, the case took several hours. Mrs EDNEY , with three other married females went in to the Britannia after 11 o'clock in the evening on the 9th of Nov and called for a quart of ale and half a pint of ginger brandy, but some observations having been indulged in respect to procuring a bed out of the house for a captain of a collier , Mrs EDNEY flung a glass of beer in the landlady's face, and bit her finger till blood flew out. Mrs ELLIOT then called her husband to put the defendant out of the room, when Mr EDNEY knocked her down. The daughter came to her mothers help and was knocked down by Mrs EDNEY, and lost one half of her skirt in the genal melee which ensued, and her locket besides, which contained 7s. For the Defendant a Mrs URRY swore that Mrs ELIOT herself commenced the affray, by flinging a glass of ale in the defendants face, and that she followed it up by launching a glass of brandy at her in similar manner, a statement confirmed by another of the women present, a Emma MORRIS. But the court put such little faith in their testimonies that he fined Mrs EDNEY 1/ 15s and her husband 17s and 6d - paid. Jacob BRADING a local poacher, charged with being armed in the night in pursuit of game and assault on a game keeper ( think this ties in with Charles Bullock ).
