| 1892 | 29 Feb. ‘Felix Emery was brought up as a rogue and a vagabond, and was charged with neglecting to maintain his wife and family, who had been left chargeable to the Bristol Incorporation of the Poor. The removal officer stated that the accused had previously been convicted and sent to prison for two months for neglecting to obey a magistrate’s order to pay a weekly sum to his wife, and since his discharge from prison three months ago he had not contributed anything towards his wife and children’s maintenance, who had been in receipt of out-relief. It was stated that the defendant had employment at the Victoria Pottery. The bench said that as two months did not seem to have done the accused much good, they would send him to gaol for three months with hard labour’ (Bristol Mercury). |
