I would be pleased to learn any further details of the hawker and fiddler Samuel Green of Chatteris. Here are a couple of reports from the petty sessions :
* The Cambridge Independent Press, 1 June 1844, page 3.
WHITTLESEY. - Police Report, May 21.-...Samuel Green, of Chatteris, Confectioner, otherwise an itinerant vendor of gingerbread, was taken care of by Sergeant Mullett, being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself; ordered to be brought up on the 27th instant...
* The Cambridge Independent Press, 5 July 1845, page 3.
ISLE OF ELY POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
CHATTERIS.
June 28th. - Samuel Green, Chatteris, travelling confectioner fiddler [sic], and (as he said) "an unworthy member of a teetota [sic] temperance society," was locked up for being very drunk and disorderly in the streets. Samuel Green, has been at various times before [sic], convicted of the same offence : fining seems to be of no use - sureties are out of the question; the worthy magistrate, therefore, allowed the "foolish old man" to depart on pledging his word not to offend again.
Thanks,
Keith Chandler
