| Notes: | The Ipswich Journal Saturday 11th December 1880 Page 12 A Narrow Escape. - James Collings and Henry Mark, labourers, Kenninghall, were charged with stealing one fowl, value 2s., at Fersfield, the property of Caleb Robinson, farmer, on December 2nd. Prosecutor stated that on Wednesday, December 1st, he had a steam threshing engine at work on his premises at Fersfield. The two prisoners were employed by him to work on the engine. They left of work about half-past four o’clock in the afternoon. They all went into the Crown public-house, which he kept, and he gave them about a gallon and a half of beer. About a quarter to five he went into another room to get his tea, and during that time he saw the prisoner Collings and others go out of the room several times. Witness went out about six o’clock and looked into the fowl-house, when he missed ten fowls. About a quarter of an hour afterwards Mark asked for a light to get his donkey, as he wanted to be going. His man, Samuel Allum, got a light and went into the shed, when he said, “Surely, Mark, the fowls ain't in your cart; here's some feathers against your cart wheel.” Allum then lifted up a guano bag in the cart and found one of the fowls underneath. Collings’s basket was underneath this fowl, Allum then called him, and be took the fowl and basket indoors. The fowl produced was the same. When he got into the house he looked into the basket. Collings was present, and he said to him, “There have been some fowls in this basket, as there are some blood and feathers in it.” There was also some blood in the guano bag. Prosecutor then threatened to send for the police if anyone left the house, upon which Collings said that one of the men, Stephen Bond, did not come in for an hour after the others. He knew this to be false, as they all came in together. From what Collings told him he sent for the police, and Bond’s bouse was searched. There were 11 fowls altogether. He missed them all that night, but found nine of them in different places the nert morning. The remaining one had not been found. Saml. Allum, labourer in prosecutor's employ, proved finding the fowl in Mark&rfsquo;s cart on the top of Collings’ basket. He spoke of it before Mark, when the latter said, “That's a rum 'un.” He did not see either of the prisoners go towards the fowl-house during the afternoon. Policeman Sales, stationed at Bressingham, said he compared the prisoner Collings’ boots with some footprints in the fowl-house and found them to correspond. Jas. Greenwood, who was present when the footmarks were compared, said the policeman did not make a fresh impression with the boot, but he fitted it into the footprint. The evidence not being satisfactory, both the prisoners were discharged. | ||
