>From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, March 7, 1863; Issue 5732. NISI PRIUS COURT - THURSDAY. ( Before Mr. Baron CHANNELL . ) His Lordship took his seat on the Bench at nine o'clock. ALLEGED UNLAWFUL WOUNDING AT WHEATLEY. Richard DOVER , 61, labourer, was charged with unlawfully wounding David QUARTERMAN , at Wheatley, on the 11th of September last. Mr. SAWYER appeared for the prosecution; the prisoner was undefended. On the night of the 11th of September, QUARTERMAN , one of the Oxfordshire police, stationed at Wheatley, was on the high road between Wheatley and Cuddesdon, when he saw the prisoner get over a wall into a field. The prisoner had a gun in his hand, and QUARTERMAN , suspecting he had been poaching, went up to him and told him he must give up the gun. The prisoner refused to give up the gun, and threatened to stab the policeman if he touched him. The policeman pulled out his staff to protect himself, and in holding up his hand to ward off the blow of the prisoner, he received a cut on his hand from the knife. The prisoner was taken into custody, and on being searched at the Wheatley Police Station by Police-constable LAWTON , a knife was found upon him. The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the prisoner. The business of the Assizes was brought to a conclusion shortly before three o'clock.
I have a Joseph QUARTERMAN born Garsington, married Ellen SIMMONS 1880. I wonder if there is a family connection? -----Original Message----- From: oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:oxfordshire-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of MICHAELCOOMBER@aol.com Sent: Sunday, 14 August 2011 5:45 AM To: oxfordshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [OXF] DOVER , QUARTERMAN , SAWYER (1863 ) >From Jackson's Oxford Journal, Saturday, March 7, 1863; Issue 5732.
