FROM THE WEST BRITON AND CORNWALL ADVERTISER DATED FRIDAY 13 JAN 1843:
John Bennetts, 29, charged with stealing pork, the property of JOHN YELLAND. The
prosecutor and prisoner are both butchers attending St. Austell market, where it
appears, it is customary for the butchers, after the Friday's market, to put any
meat remaining on hand in a room belonging to the corn market, until the following
day's market. On the 2nd of December, prosecutor had two pieces of pork in this
room, one of which was found missing on the following morning. Some suspicion
attached to the prisoner; though it was shown that all the butchers and other
persons had access to the place where the unsold meat was kept. It appeared also
that almost the only evidence against the prisoner was an expression construed as
an admission of guilt, made use of by him to the constable Williams, another butcher
at St. Austell, after his apprehension. But, on cross-examination, the constable
stated he was uncertain whether on being charged with the offence, the prisoner said
"I don't mean about this," or "I don't deny about this." An excellent character was
given of the prisoner by Mr. George Andrew, of St. Mawes, and Mr. George Yelland, of
St. Stephens. It was shown that the witness Williams and the prisoner had quarrelled
about their business as butchers. The jury stated that the two pieces of pork brought
in prove the property did not match and they returned a verdict of Acquittal. In
summing up the evidence, the Chairman made some strong observations on the impropriety
of constables, attending Sessions, allowing the business on which they attend to be
made the subject of pot-house conversation.
