1827—At the Lent Assizes this year there were nearly a hundred prisoners for trial, and against twenty-four of them sentence of death was recorded. At these assizes was tried AGG _v._ TIMBRELL, in which the plaintiff recovered £7 damages for the injury done to his gig by the negligent driving of the defendant’s coachman. Mr. Charles Phillips was counsel for plaintiff, and Mr. Taunton for defendant. The affair was chiefly curious from the remark of defendant, who, when the accident happened and Agg complained, said, “Do you know who I am? I’m Doctor Timbrell, Doctor of Divinity, Archdeacon, and magistrate in two counties. Don’t talk to me, or I’ll commit you!” 1828—In November, this year, in the King’s Bench, a rule for a criminal information against the Rev. Humphry Price, for issuing inflammatory handbills at the time of the late strike between the Kidderminster weavers and their masters, was made absolute. The Rev. gentleman appeared in court himself, and avowed himself to be the author of the placards charged against him. The cause against him was tried at the next Hereford Lent Assizes. A number of verses, entitled “_The Complaint of a Kidderminster Weaver’s Wife to her Infant_,” appeared to be most complained of; they ended thus: “O cruel, cruel, cruel masters, Dare ye thus mock at our disasters? See parent, child, to phrenzy given, And dream yourselves of reaching heaven? Rouse from your slumbers! count the price Of your own cursed avarice; And count it well, ere taught too late To dread than ours a far worse fate.” Mr. Campbell defended the Rev. gentleman, but he was found guilty, and being brought up for judgment next term, was sentenced to twelve months’ imprisonment, and adjudged to pay the costs.
