Farmers Trouble at Conisborough

Joseph Manny and Henry Hemingway, pony drivers, was summoned by William Goodison for damage to growing grass.

PC Roper saw the lads in a field of mowing grass. There were 20 or 30 children there besides, flying kites and playing football. They were a perfect nuisance.
