Northumberland Assizes - Extracts from the testimony in the death of Cuthbert Skipsey and trial of Anthony Wanless. [Full page available at Wanless Web in Documents.]
Manslaughter - George Weddell, a special constable, was indicted for killing and slaying Cuthbert Skipsey, a pitman, near Chirton on the night of Sunday the 8th of July. Testimony follows.
Mr George Huntley: I am a surgeon at Howdon. I remember being sent for about 8 o'clock on the night of Sunday July 8th to Dobson's public house near Chirton. I examined the body and found a wound in the left breast occasioned, in my opinion, by shot or slugs. The shot wounds were the cause of his death. His name was Cuthbert Skipsey. I knew him before; he was a workman at Percy Main Colliery. The shot had spread; there were 21 wounds in the breast.
John Heckles: I am master wasteman at Percy Main Colliery...about 8 o'clock I was going from Percy Main to Chirton. I saw a man named Alexander Clark. He was sitting on his hat on a waggon-way. I saw the policemen, 5 or 6, go across the rail-road. As they went past, Clark turned around and said "I'm a pitman, but your are not - you are blacklegs.". One of the police turned back and asked what he meant by insulting them so. Another policeman came back and said "take him, neck him" and they siezed him by the collar and dragged him off...I afterward heard the report of a pistol and saw Skipsey cross his arms and walk some yards. He appeared to be in great agony. I did not see him fall. I saw one of the policeman in front of him when he clasped his hands and another policeman was at his left hand.
William Patteson, a lad: I live at Chirton gate. My father keeps the toll bar...Skipsey laid his hand on the policeman's shoulder and said "Let him be, friend, he's drunk.". The policeman said "Stand back" and shoved him off and shot him. Skipsey put his hand to his breast and fell back on the dyke side. The rest of the police had pistols and struck the men with them before Weddell fired. The pitmen had no sticks or other weapons. Before the shot was fired, I heard someone cry "Fire" - this was before Skipsey laid his hand on Weddell and before he fired.
More testimony from:
Nevison Thompson,age 14, son of Patrick Thompson of Chirton, shoemaker
Josiah Dobinson, a boy
James Wild, a boy
James Arkley, sawyer of Percy Main
W.G. Charlton, a boy

T.J. Turnbull, clerk to the magistrates of part of Northumberland; magistrates are Mr Bigge and Mr Brandling
George Waugh, special constable, of Gateshead - we heard the report of 2 pistols. After the 2nd report, which was a signal, we ran up and found a man lying with his hat and coat off in the road. His name was Wild. There were some men about him, trying to get him away. He was struggling and very violent. The next thing I saw was a man of the name of Wanless in custody of Higgs and Corby. The mob was coming to rescue him. The mob was 2 dozen persons, mostly pitman. Gilroy & I went to assist Higgs and Corby and kept the mob off as well as we could. I saw that Wanless was wounded by a blow on the back of the head. I saw Skipsey on the hedge side; he was moving when I first saw him. We made 4 prisoners and took them to the guard house. Wanless was cut with the butt end of a pistol.
Robert Pattison, special constable, of Newcastle - was with George Waugh
Ralph Falcus, chief of constables - I took Matthew Raine with me...the man sitting on his hat on the railway made an oath and said there should be a blackleg going to work in the pit that night. His language was very bad and threatening. I turned around and desired him to go away. He said we were all blacklegs and we should go home and work. He would not leave. I and Weddell tried to remove him. He made a loud noise and threw himself on the ground...about 20 or 30 people came running from Dobson's house, from the Percy Main pit. They siezed Clark and rescued him from our custody. Wild then threw off his coat and waistcoat, dared me to fight, and struck me over the head...he struck me again; I thought he was in liquor. I called for assistance. Matthew Raine was to the left of me lying on the ground. Weddell and another man dressed in blue were struggling very hard for the pistol...I heard the pistol go off on my left and then a shot immediately to my right. Higgs was struggling with Wanless for the pistol; Wanless wanted to get the pistol from Higgs...the conduct of the pitmen was so violent that I considered my life in danger. [hissing and yelling from the pitmen in the court]
Matthew Raine, special constable
John Corby, special constable
William Higgs, special constable - Wanless, a pitman, tried to take a pistol from Higgs and to prevent that, Higgs struck Wanless on the back of his head with the butt end of the pistol
Thomas Tate, Thomas Scott, and John Sheldon, grocer of Jarrow, passers-by
John Marley, John Tate, T. Forsyth, G.A. Lambert all vouched for Weddell's good character and peaceable disposition
The jury was instructed to decide if Weddell was guilty of manslaughter (i.e. fired intentionally and was not in danger of his life at the time). The jury deliberated from 1:25 a.m. to 2 a.m. and returned a guilty verdict but recommended the prisoner to mercy.
Weddell was sentenced on Aug 4th to 6 months in prison doing hard labour, the judge having believed him to be in fear of his life and firing on someone else's command. The sentence was received "with marks of disapprobation" by the body of the court.
Same page: 4 Aug 1832 - John Wild, Anthony Wanless, Ralph Turnbull, and William Wilkinson were arraigned on the charge of assaulting Ralph Falcus, Matthew Raine, and William Higgs, policemen in the execution of their duty. Mr Cresswell for the prosecution said he would bring no evidence against Turnbull and Wilkinson and would prefer a charge of common assault against Wild and Wanless, to which they pleaded guilty. Sentenced to be imprisoned for 3 months.

Frightful Accident At The Residence of Sir John Rennie - An inquest was held yesterday by Mr Higgs at the Charing Cross Hospital on the body of Ellen Wandlass, a fine young woman aged 19 who was killed at the residence of Sir John Rennie in Scotland-yard under the following melancholy circulstances. George Burt, groom to the Hon. Sidney Herbert, Secretary to the Admiralty, said that on Thursday night last, about half past 9 o'clock, he was at his master's stables, which faces those of Sir John Rennie, when he saw the deceased, who was sister to Sir John's coachman, come to the loft door over the stable with a small basin in her hand. She threw some water out of it, and in doing so her foot slipped or she overbalanced herself and fell out of the loft, her head coming in contact with the stones in the yard. She was picked up but was quite dead. The basin which she still held in her hand was unbroken and the depth she fell was eleven feet. Thomas Fillhook said the deceased was his wife's sister and had been staying with him nineteen weeks out of a situation. On the very day of the accident she had obtained a situation, which she was to have gone to on Thursday next. Mr John Moore, House Surgeon, said the deceased was quite dead when brought into the hospital and from the extensive fracture of the skull, he should say her death was instantaneous. Verdict was accidental death.

Northern Circuit court, Newcastle - Brown vs. Wanliss - plaintiff seeks compensation from defendant who had plaintiff charged with sheep stealing. Plaintiff Brown is a sheep farmer with his father and brothers at Elsdon. Defendant is a sheep farmer at Biddleston, about 10 miles away. In the month of Dec last, Wanliss alleged he had lost 4 gimmer sheep and came with his brother to Brown's farm, saying he had heard they were there. He fetched a constable and Brown and his brother Thomas were taken in to custody and a gimmer sheep was identified by Wanliss as being his. The prisoners were removed to Alnwick (15 miles away) and the complaint was heard the next day and dismissed. It is contended that Wanliss was acting maliciously in revenge for some past dispute involving a sheep that had wandered from Brown's to Wanliss's land, but had been restored without complaint by Wanliss. Evidence showed that the current sheep found belongs to the plaintiff Brown. John Wanliss and his brother the defendant have a farm at Barrard. The sheep are marked with ear clippings. Thomas Brown said if it was his sheep, it would eat turnips, something sheep usually will not do without training; other witnesses said the sheep only ate turnips after trying for two days to feed them to it. It was alleged that the ear marks had been tampered with. The jury decided that the defendant had not acted maliciously and had reasonable cause to believe his sheep were on Brown's farm.

Durham Spring Assizes - Wanless vs. the North Eastern Railway Company - in an action brought by Matthew Bell, publican and carter, Hylton, for compensation for injuries suffered by his step-son Robert William Wanless through the negligence of the company's servants. On 27th April, 4 boys, including Wanless, were on their way from Hylton to Grindon. It was necessary to cross a level crossing on the railway. When the boys got up to this place about 7 o'clock in the evening, the carriage gate on the Hylton side was open, and after waiting till a train on the up line had passed, they proceeded to cross. Wanless and a boy named Jefferson was in advance with the other 2 boys about a yard or two behind them. The train on the down line came along unobserved by the boys and the two former were struck by the framework of the engine and knocked down. Jefferson was killed and Wanless severely injured. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff of £100 and recommended that swing gates should be substituted for the present ones.

Yesterday the adjourned inquest on the bodies of Robert Greaves, fireman, and William Moore, engine driver, the unfortunate men who lost their lives by the collision between Hunwick and Willington on Friday night last, was held at the house of Mr G.L. Watson, the Railway Hotel, Hunwick Station, before Thomas Dean, deputy Coroner. It appeared that they had taken a train of empties and were making up another load to take to Tyne Dock. The van and five trucks of coal and coke had been left in the independent siding and the engine went into the colliery to bring twelve other trucks to make up the trail...The fireman, John Wanless, was sent to the point at the main line, and the pointsman at the siding points. Wanless had only been in the employ a few weeks and had never been to Brancepeth Colliery. He knew that the van and 5 trucks were on the independent and that the 12 trucks were to join them, but when he saw the train taken so far beyond the switches on the main line, he felt sure he was mistaken and the trucks and van were on the main line, and did not open the switch. It was very dark and being strange to the place he became confused and timid and let them go on the down line. The other pointsman called out and Wanlass ran after the runaway truck to try to put on its brakes, but they gathered speed and he was unable to do so. The guard got on the gine and also pursued but was unable to overtake the runaway train in time. This line is a considerable "dip" and several times trucks and wagons have got away and ran as far as Willington and Hunwick. After some consultation the jury returned a verdict of "accidental death" and condemned the practice of shunting on the main line at the top of an incline and also the gross carelessness of allowing a man who was a stranger to the place to have charge of the switches.

Durham County Court case regarding John Allen, a fruiterer at Willington, against Mr Robingson Ferens of Willington, in which Allen claims to have supplied good for the last election and not been paid £4 5s for them. John Wanless, a clerk at the colliery, was supposed to handle the business. Wanless disappeared from Willington as soon as the petition against the election was presented. We have made inquiries but cannot learn anything about him. Wanless wrote orders for the grocer to supply the men with food, but no arrangement was made to pay. Ferens, a coal owner and resident at Willington Hall, said he did not give Wanless authorization for any tickets or orders for food. I had discharged him 2 months previously for drunkenness and I did not want him around. Many witnesses supported these statements. Jury found for the defendant.

In Vice-Chancellor Malins' court on Friday, a romantic case was settled. The late Nathaniel Bates of Melbourne Hall, Northumberland, who had an income of £19,000 per year, by his will dated Dec 1868 bequeathed £1000 to "the person I might have wished to marry", but if she does not survive the testator, then the £1000 was to be divided between the 3 eldest girls under 10, children of the 3 agricultural hinds residing nearest to Melbourne Hall. A petition was presented by George Wilson and Ellen his wife, formerly Ellen Wandless, on the grounds that Ellen answered the description of the person the testator might have wished to marry. She had been his cook for nearly 3 years and during that time the testator had on several occasions made her offers of marriage, which she had always declined. With the consent of the testator's surviving sister, who was his residuary legatee, one-half of the money will be paid to Ellen Wilson and the remaining half divided among the 3 daughters of 3 hinds.

At the Durham Borough Police Court yesterday, James Wandless, shoemaker, Gilesgate, Durham, was charged with having assaulted John Murray, rag merchant, Claypath. Mr Folkard appeared for the complainant; Mr H.J. Marshall was for the defendant. All the witnesses were ordered out of the Court. Mr Folkard briefly stated the circumstances of the cases, which, he said, arose out of the recent election for the City of Durham. The complainant was a Conservative and took an active part on behalf of his party in the last election. The Recorder said politics could not be introduced as part of the case. In the trial, John Murray said he was a rag dealer living with his mother in Claypath. On 11 June, election day, he saw Wm Goundry pass a coin to Mrs McDonald (her husband is a voter). Wandless knocked Murray down for looking in the window. Mr Goundry said Mr Murray struck Wandless first. Several people swore that no money had changed hands and Murray had struck first. Murray was then charged with having assaulted Wandless, which was proved, and Murray was fined 10s and costs. [In a July 7 version of this story, it is Joseph Wanless several times. Later in the same article, he is referred to as John Wanless, shoemaker!]

Everybody in the house was asleep. The policemen roused Mr Wanless (the farmer) and his family, and Miss Smith who lives in a house close by, and gave the alarm to Mr Sordy at the neighbouring farm of Greensfield....It is supposed that the fire must have been caused by a tramp who had contrived to get into the straw barn to sleep. The farm is on the Swansfield estate, belonging to the Duke of Northumberland.

Young Folks Column - Letter Box - Dear Aunt Maggie, I have read the Young Folks Column for a long time now and I thought I would write and tell you how much I like it. We have two dogs named Carlo and Spot, and a big cat and such a tiny little kitten which I call my baby. It jumps on my shoulder and pats my face with its little paw and purrs till I take notice of and stroke it. It does not like Spot at all, it sets his back up and spits at him and poor Spot is much afraid of it. The old cat and Spot are very friendly; they eat out of one saucer and sleep together, but pussy is very naughty and kills mamma's chickens and pigeons. Carlo is a nice dog, but he is getting old now; he has lost all his teeth and is getting deaf and blind. I think this is all about my pets this time. Signed, Helen Wanless

Mr Shand appeared for the captain (Mr. Evan Ellis), part owner of the schooner, and Mr Paxton conducted the inquiry on behalf of the Board. The vessel was built of wood in Carnarvonshire in 1875 and was 92 tons registered. She left Portmadoc on 27 Feb last with a crew of 5 hands and arrived without accident off the coast of Denmark. From the 10th to the 13th March, ice was encountered to such an extent that the navigation of the vessel could not be carried out, and ultimately she grounded between the Hirtshal an dthe Scaw Lights, near a life-boat station called Everstead. All hands were saved by means of the lifeboat from the station, but the vessel became a total wreck.

Re the train wreck that occurred to the Leeds express on Monday night near Ryhope Station at Sunderland, in which many people were injured but no one died - Wandless, the driver of the engine, who belongs to Gateshead, has received an injury to his head. He has been in the service of the company for many years. It is believed that owing to the greasy state of the rails where there is a great curve, the engine slipped and instead of coming round the curve, jumped and ran across the permanent way. A length of rail was forced through the engine, which fell on its side on the embankment. The carriages ran on for about 50 yards, jolting fearfully, until 3 fell over.
