Runcorn
Police Court
Charles
Farndale, a young man employed as a weigher at the Weston Works, who had been
apprehended at Liverpool on a warrant, was charged with criminally assaulting a
girl named Emily Joynson, aged about 15 years of Rock Savage, Clifton, with
whose parents he had been lodging. The prisoner was remanded, and admitted to
bail. On Wednesday Charles Farndale was again brought up, and the
magistrate said he did not consider the evidence sufficiently satisfactory to
justify him sending the prisoner for trial, and he would be discharged.
Runcorn
Examiner, 10 September 1881:
SERIOUS
CHARGE AGANST A WESTON YOUNG MAN
Charles
Farndale, a rather good looking young man, employed as a weigher at Weston
works, and son of Mr W M Farndale, custom house officer, Runcorn, was charged
on remand with criminally assaulting a girl about 15 years of age,
named Emily Johnson. Mr Swift Senior appeared for the defence. Complainant, who
did not know her age, said she lived with her parents at Clifton. Prisoner had
lodged with them about five weeks, but had left before the day of the alleged
offence – the 22nd ultimo. On that afternoon, her mother went to
Frodsham about half past two, and at half past three Farndale came to the
dwelling and said he wanted his flannel, singlet and drawers. She told him that
he could not have anything out of the house whilst her father was away. He then
took hold of her and carried her upstairs, but she managed to escae and get
away. He a second time caried her upstairs, and assaulted her. He was in the
house from half past three to quarter to five. She resisted him whilst he was
carrying her up the stairs. She went out after the prisoner had left and saw a
Mrs Didsbury, but did not tell her what had taken place, although the woman
asked her what she was crying about. Her mother returned home about seven
o’clock, but she did not say anything to her as she was frightened; neither did
she tell her father. On the following Friday she spoke to her mother on the
subject. In cross examination witness said she had been away from home, at
Chester for 12 months and Birkenhead seven weeks. She was turned away at Chester.
Though the prisoner had left their house before the day of the offence, he had
not taken his box. As soon as her mother
returned she went upstairs into the lodger’s room and asked who had been there.
She at first said “nobody”, but afterwards stated that the prisoner and a Mrs
Clarke, who was a neighbour, had been there. On the night of the offence the
prisoner slept at the house with another lodger. Between the Tuesday and the
following Friday her other found out what she had said about Mrs Clake was a lie,
and thrashed witness for making the statement. She then admitted to her mother
that prisoner had assaulted her. Dr McDougall gave medical evidence . Ellen
Joynson, the mother of the complainant was next called. Betsy Foster, the wife
of a neighbour, said if complainant had knocked at the wall she could have
heard her. In fact she had frequently done so on former occasions. PC Cooper
proved the apprehension of the prisoner. Mr Swift made a long speech for the
defence, and contended that but for the observations of the mother, the case
would never have been heard of. The magistrate said he did not consider the
evidence of such a character as to justify sending the case for trial, and
discharged the prisoner.
