Northern
Echo, 14 October 1896: A HORSE DEALING CASE. SINGULAR PROSECUTION AT GUISBOROUGH. At
the Guisborough petty sessions, before Mr R C Yeoman, chairman, Dr W W Stainthorpe, Captain Swann and Mr Joseph Walton on
Tuesday, Thomas Farndale, of Castleton, was charged with stealing a horse,
value £12, the property of John Carnell, Guisborough, on Wednesday last. Mr T E
Jaynes of Darlington prosecuted and the prisoner was
represented by Mr Richardson. Mr Jaynes in opening the case said the facta of the case were somewhat peculiar. On Wednesday last
the prosecutor and the prisoner met in Stockton market, and some conversation
took place there in respect of some pigs. It was then arranged that the
prisoner should come to Guisborough to look at some pigs belonging to the
prosecutor. During the course of the afternoon
prisoner rode into Guisborough and met the prosecutor and a man named Robert
Whitfield. The three men left the Seven Stars public house and went to the
prosecutor's house, which is situated about half a mile from the town. The
whole of the men were wet, and they were invited in to
have some tea. The prisoner, in company with the prosecutor and Whitfield, then
went to look at the pigs, but no bargain was struck. They then returned to
prosecutor’s house, and the prisoner said “Do you know
anybody who has got a horse a bit bigger than my one?”. Whitfield said, “I have
one five year old, and will exchange him.” The
prisoner wanted to know where the pony was, and Whitfield replied to the effect
that it was in a field about ten minutes from where they were. They went to
where the horse was, and after the prisoner had examined the animal
it was put into a loose box in the field. After some little bargaining, it
resulted in Whitfield agreeing to take Farndale’s horse, and that Whitfield
would pay £3 20s. The money was paid over to the prisoner in the prosecutor's
kitchen in the presence of the prosecutor and the servant in the employ of the
prosecutor and prisoner’s horse was standing outside of the house, and in
charge of prisoner’s son. Whitfield and prisoner went outside, and the former
person told the boy to take the horse up and put it in the stable, and that he,
Whitfield, would take it home either that night or the following morning.
Whitfield lifted the boy onto the pony and sent him away. When the boy with the
pony and the prisoner got to the stable prisoner asked for a bridal to put on
the horse he had bought from Whitfield. While the boy with the pony and
prisoner were absent, Whitfield and the prisoner where in the latter's house.
Another transaction then took place, prosecutor agreeing to give Whitfield £12
for the pony he had bought from the prisoner. The money was paid down there and
then. Some time afterwards the prosecutor saw
prisoner riding away on the pony he, prosecutor, had bought. Prosecutor said to
him, “That horse is mine and I have paid for it.” Prisoner replied to the
effect that he would not get it, at the same time threatening him with a stick.
Prosecutor caught hold of the bridle and partly pulled it off the horse’s head.
Prisoner jumped off the horse, and having adjusted the
bridal rode away. The prosecutor wired to prisoner to return the horse, but he
failed to do so, a warrant being subsequently issued. The prosecutor then gave corroborative
evidence. By Mr Richardson: Witness said the £6 10s was paid over from
Whitfield to Farndale. Prisoner did not say he wanted to have another look at Whitfield's
horse. Prisoner never asked Whitfield to take the money back. Robert Whitfield
said he was standing outside prosecutor’s house when prisoner returned from
examining the pony a second time. Prisoner put £6 9s 6d in his, Whitfield's
pocket and said the pony was not five years old. Frank Carnell, in his
evidence, said on the second occasion when prisoner saw the pony
he was present. Prisoner looked into the pony’s mouth, and then said the pony
was not five years old and that he would have his own pony back again. This
closed the case for the prosecution, and the magistrates retired for a few
minutes. On returning into court the Chairman said they were unanimous in
saying that there were no grounds for a criminal charge, and the charge
therefore fell to the ground. The prisoner would be discharged.
This was
probably him, as his brother John William Farndale was also involved in a case
while living at Castleton.

ANNUAL SPORTS. These sports, which are annually held in this pleasant moorland
village, took place as usual on Whit Monday. The committee have no cause to
complain about the Clerk of the Weather for his dispensations on that day, as, though
cold, no rain fell, and as the field where the principal sports are held is in
a sheltered situation, an enjoyable afternoon was spent... The prize for the
best groomed horse, and cleanest and neatest bearings, deservedly fell to
Mr Fred Hutchinson, Scaling, the second being secured by Mr Tom Farndale,...
