William Clampit, a railway policeman, stated that he saw the prisoner standing near a wagon on the incline, and he turned towards a lady who was near the spot and committed the offence charged, apparently with the deliberate intention of insulting her. He believed that he did so for ten minutes to a quarter of an hour … Mr Richard Haynes, foreman at Mr Powell’s pottery, deposed that the prisoner had been in Mr Powell’s employ for a number of years, and had always borne a good character.
