Mr. Middleton appeared for the prosecution. He said that the complainant was bedding his horse down on the night in question, when the defendant went with him to the stable and used some very abusive language to him, and struck him in the face, knocking him down.—Prosecutor had been allowed to keep his horse in defendant’s mother’s stable. Complainant corroborated, and said he had summoned defendant previously at Bakewell for a similar offence, where he was bound over to keep the peace for six months.— Jemima Harrison, complainant's wife, also gave evidence. —Mr. Middleton asked that defendant be bound over to keep the peace for 12 months. —Defendant stated that complainant attacked with the first blow, and pulled off his coat to fight him. It was in consequence of complainant’s ill-treatment of his wife that he (defendant) interfered. —Complainant said he had only had his arm out of splinters a fortnight, having had it broken. He denied having struck him or ill-used his wife. —His wife was also called, and denied that he had ever kicked her or ill-used her.—Defendant was bound over in his own recognisances in the sum of £10 to keep the peace for 12 months, And ordered to pay the costs, the bench remarking that if he came again for a similar offence he would be sent to gaol.

Curious Procedure in Punishment
William Calladine, a member of the gipsy fraternity, had been summoned by P.c. Taylor for drunkard disorderly conduct at Monyash, on the 10th inst. —Mrs Calladine appeared.—P.c. Taylor said that at about half-past five o'clock on the date named, he found the defendant drunk and creating a disturbance on the Bakewell road. He wanted to fight. The language was very bad. and the row continued for some time. —Supt. Lytle said that defendant bad been before the court several times.—Mr William Miliington, a resident of Monyash, gave corroborative evidence. He added that there were several people about. —Mr Lytle ; there are about 30 or so of them encamped in a field, and they have no end of snap dogs. They run the country, and pay no rates and taxes.—Mr Lytle : Not for the lanes and waste grounds.— Mrs Calladine : I have two houses in Nottingham. —The Chairman: Fourteen days hard labour.— Mrs Calladine asked if there was no fine, and the Chairman appeared amused at so unreasonable a request.-Mrs Calladine then left the court, and had gone down the street when she was fetched back, and was told that in addition to the imprisonment without the option of a fine, the costs amounted to 16s. 6d., and if this was not paid, there would be a further term of imprisonment for fourteen days.
here is a Family of older Calladines ,Gervase to was a Pot Hawker, what a lovely name, I,m sure I have came across that name before, anyway I have seen a few records, if you would like me to talk more just say, and I do hope you are keeping well.
