EXETER & PLYMOUTH GAZETTE 22 July 1884

EXETER POLICE COURT

Stephen Hatten, mason, Frog Street, was charged with stealing 11 ½ lb. of lead piping from a cellar under St. Edmund’s Church on Saturday morning, the property of the churchwardens.—Mr. W.Linford Brown defended.—Caroline Curtis said that she saw the prisoner go into the cellar through the door, which was open. About twenty minutes afterwards she saw the prisoner come out carrying a bag in which was something very heavy. – William Maunder, in the employ of the prisoner, said that Hatten gave him some old lead pipe to sell, and he took it to Hannaford’s marine stores in Exe Island, where he obtained 7½d for it. – Joseph Carter Rice, one of the churchwardens, said that the lock to the cellar had disappeared and the door had been open for weeks, perhaps for months. The cellar contained lead piping similar to that produced, only it had now been broken into short pieces; but he could not swear that any had been stolen, or that the pieces produced belonged to the churchwardens. The prisoner was executing work near the back of the church, and had access to the cellar; but he had no business there. Before the prisoner was charged he said that rather than there should be any bother about anything where he had been at work he would replace the lead.—P.C. Simmons proved apprehending the prisoner, who admitted that he had sent lead to be sold which belonged to his employer Mr. Densham, -- Mr. Brown contended that there was no evidence in support of the charge against his client, and that it had not been proved that there was a loss. The prisoner was working near the cellar, and it was very natural, the door being open, that he should put his tools or dinner there, He was pulling down some cottages near the church, and, of course, they yielded lead such as was now produced. He submitted that this lead never belonged to the churchwardens, but that it came from the old cottages, and under his contract, he was entitled to it in part payment of his work.—The Bench considered that the charge was not proved, and dismissed the case.

CRUEL NEGLECT OF CHILDREN

IN EXETER

At the Exeter Police-court yesterday, before Mr. J. Knapman (in the chair), Mr. Buckingham, Mr.H.F.Willey, and Mr. C. Westron, Stephen Hatten, 40, stone-mason working at Crediton, and Charlotte Hatten, 36 of Lower North Street, were brought up on a warrant charged with illtreating and wilfully neglecting their child William, under the age of two years, within the last two months. – The case was adjourned from last Friday. – Mr. A.E.Dunn defended the male prisoner. – Mr.C.E.Bell said that on the 19th May he went with Detective-Sergeant Vickery to a house in Lower North Street. He went into an upper room, and saw that it was very dirty, and had one bed in it. There were three children in the room – Lucy, 6; Albert, 3; and the baby. The mother was in the room, and evidently recovering from the effects of drink. Witness examined the children, and found that they were in a very bad condition, and suffering from want of food. The baby, aged one year and six months, was dressed, but was in bed suffering from congestion of the lungs and bronchitis. The female prisoner told him at the time that five children and herself slept in the room. He considered that the dirtiness of the room and the emaciated condition of the children must have been very injurious to health. – Examined by Mr. Dunn: He considered the woman from her appearance, was suffering from chronic drunkenness. – Dr. Kempe deposed to visiting the house and seeing the baby, who was very thin and poorly nourished, and its condition was one of extreme danger to life. Witness had the child weighed and it only weighed 14 ½ lbs., whereas the proper weight of a child aged 18 months would be about 24 lbs. The mother said that the sickly condition of the child was explained by its having measles previous to the attack it was suffering from at the time. The baby was still under his treatment, and he considered that the disease had been brought on by neglect and exposure. – Examined by Mr. Dunn: He had seen the father once when attending the child, and after witness had told him that if the child died it would be a very serious case, the father seemed anxious that it should recover. – Emma Stone, 21 Lower North Street, said she rented the house and let a portion of it. Two of the rooms were occupied by the Hattens. Witness did not consider that the children were really ill-used by the parents, but she thought that they did not get sufficient food. She had to speak to the female prisoner two or three times with reference to her getting drunk while the baby was ill. The male prisoner used to come home from Crediton on Saturday night and go away again on Sunday afternoon. On two occasions witness had to go into the room in which the Hattens lived, and asked them to stop their noise, as the female prisoner was quarrelling with her husband, and both were the worse for liquor. - Jane Jarvis, living in the same house, gave corroborative evidence, and added that in one of the rows on Saturday night she heard the female prisoner say to her husband that he ought to bring money home to his starving children. – Mary Drew deposed to seeing the mother drunk several times. – P.S.Fursdon (Crediton) said he had known the two prisoners about ten years, during which time they had constantly been brought before the Magistrates for being drunk and using obscene language. The children always appeared neglected and dirty. Detective-Sergeant Vickery had gone to Crediton previous to the male prisoner’s apprehension and told him the condition of the child, when the male prisoner said that he would at once go back to Exeter. He was drunk at the time. On the 29th May the female prisoner had walked to Crediton to find her husband, where she got drunk and was fined 5s and costs. - Maria Grant, sister of the male prisoner, said she had taken charge of Albert and the baby since the prisoners had been apprehended. The children were in a very emaciated condition. The male prisoner lodged at her house at Crediton, and when she asked him if his wife looked after her children all right he replied that he gave her money and she ought to look after them, and he supposed it was all right. She believed that her brother sent his wife 15s a week “off and on”. – Detective-Sergeant Vickery spoke to going to the house in North Street, which was in a filthy condition. The female prisoner told witness that her husband starved her, and when he asked her if she did not have a private income of her own she replied that she had 7s a week given her by her grandfather, but out of that she had to pay 3s 6d for the room. – The female said that her husband never gave her more than 4s a week, and sometimes came home with a few coppers in his pocket. She was scarcely ever free form bruises, for every Saturday when her husband came home he used to knock her about. – Charlotte Harris, Crediton, mother of the female prisoner, said that Stephen Hatten married her daughter 15 years ago, when she had £50 of her own, but he would not do a day’s work until the money was all squandered. He was nothing better than an idler and a drunkard. Witness had often been to the house in North Street and found the children without any food, and without even a piece of bread, and she had many times taken food into the house herself to keep the children from starving. She had often spoken to the husband about the matter, but he was a heartless scoundrel, and would take no notice of what was said. – John Hatten, 13, son of the prisoners, said his mother sent him to Crediton for money three times a week. Sometimes his father gave him 1s, sometimes 2s, and sometimes nothing at all. – Mr.Dunn, in defence said it was a very sad case for the two prisoners and a very serious case for the poor children. From the evidence there was no doubt that both father and mother gave way to drink. He hoped the Bench would use the power that the Act under which this case would be dealt with gave them, to take the children away from the charge of the parents and put them under the care of the two sisters of the male defendant, who were very respectable persons – Mrs. Maria Grant and Mrs. Catherine Coombes – who were quite willing to take the children if the husband would arrange with them for their maintenance. – The Chief Constable said there were several previous convictions against both the prisoners. – The Bench said it was the most deplorable case that had ever been under their notice. – Both prisoners were committed for three months, with hard labour.

NEGLECTED CHILDREN

 

Stephen Hutton* and Charlotte Hutton* were charged with neglecting their children. Mr. H.H.Gore prosecuted on behalf of the Society for the Protection and Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The officer of the Society, John Oatley, stated that the father of the children was a bricklayer, and was earning good wages, and the mother received 7s a week from friends. Witness had visited the house occupied by prisoners and had found the children in such a state as to cause them unnecessary pain and suffering. Other witnesses were called who gave evidence in support of the charges. The magistrates considered it a bad case and sent the female prisoner to gaol for a month and the male prisoner for fourteen days.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN

 

Stephen Hutton* and Charlotte Hutton* were charged with cruelly neglecting their children.. Mr. H.Holmes Gore appeared for the prosecution, and remarked that the male defendant was a bricklayer and capable of earning good wages, whilst his wife was also in receipt of a small allowance from her friends, so that there was no reason why they should neglect their children, but he believed they were given to intemperate habits. John Ottley, an officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, deposed that he had visited the defendants’ room in Bloomsbury Court and found their children in a very destitute and filthy condition . He had on a previous occasion visited the room and cautioned the parents. Evidence was also given to show that both the defendants were addicted to drinking., and especially the woman. When asked for their defence the defendants indulged in mutual recriminations, and the magistrates, believing that the woman was rather more to blame than the man, sentenced her to a month’s imprisonment, with hard labour, and her husband to fourteen days

ALLEGED NEGLECT OF A CHILD

Stephen Hatten, 40, stoneman, employed at Crediton, and Charlotte Hatten, 36, of Lower North Street, were charged on remand at Exeter Police Court yesterday with wilfully neglecting their child William, under the age of two years, within the space of two months. – Mr.A.E.Dunn appeared for the male prisoner. – Mr. C.E.Bell, surgeon, said he went with Detective Vicary on 19th May to a house in Lower North Street. In an upper room, which was very dirty, and which contained but little furniture, he saw three children and the mother, who seemed to be recovering from the effects of drink. The children were all very dirty, both in their bodies and clothes. They were thin and were suffering from want of food. The baby, which the mother said was aged one year and six months, was suffering from congestion of the lungs and bronchitis. She said it had been ill about a week and had had no one to attend it. Six or seven children she said sometimes slept in the one room. The conditions under which the children lived were distinctly injurious to their health. – In reply to Mr. Dunn, Mr Bell said he considered the mother was a chronic drunkard. – Dr. Kempe said he called at North Street on 19th May. The poorly nourished condition of the child, William was one of extreme danger to life. He prescribed for the child, and told the landlady, Mrs. Stone, to see the treatment was carried out. In his opinion the child would have died if it had not been very carefully treated, after he had seen it. It weighed 14 ½lbs., and a child of that age should weigh from 24 to 25lbs. The illness would not account for the emaciated condition of the child. The mother said the child had been suffering from the measles. – Answering Mr. Dunn, witness said, in his opinion, the mother was a confirmed drunkard. The cause of the child’s illness was neglect and exposure. The lungs were still affected, but he had no doubt if care was taken the child would still recover. – Emma Stone, the landlady, said when the child was ill the mother was frequently drunk. Hatten used to come home Saturday nights and go away on Sunday afternoon. There were “rows”. Mrs Hatten often received letters.—James Jarvis had also seen the mother drunk. On one occasion, when the parties were quarrelling, he heard the mother say, “You ought to bring money home to your starving children.”—Mary Drew said she had once given the child Stephen some food. She had frequently spoken to the mother of the way she neglected her children, and had often seen her drunk. – PS Fursdon (Crediton) said he had known the prisoners at Crediton for about ten years, during which time they had continually been brought before the magistrates for drunkenness and use of profane language. – Detective Sergt. Vicary went to Crediton and told the male prisoner of the condition of the child, and the man, who was drunk at the time, said he would at once go back to Exeter. On the 29th May the female prisoner was found with her baby, drunk. She was fined 5s and her husband paid. Witness had seen two or three children in Crediton, and these had been well-nourished. Ione boy stayed with the male prisoner’s sister, and the others at Crediton with the female prisoner’s mother. – Mary Grant said she maintained the boy Albert, as she had certainly considered him to be neglected by the mother. Her brother, the male prisoner, lodged with her at 7s 6d a week. He was a hard working, steady man. Generally he would come home soon after 10, but occasionally he was -- “well, like other men.” He would send money to the mother sometimes twice a day—the son came to fetch it—and she had occasionally seen letters containing postal orders or stamps sent to North Street. She should think Hatten sent his wife “off and on” an average of 15s per week. Detective-Sergt. Dymond said he went to the house in Lower North Street and it was in a filthy condition. The female prisoner said her husband starved her, but admitted that she had 7s a week in her own right. Out of that, however, she had to pay 3s 6d for the rooms she lived in. – In defence, the female prisoner said her husband never brought home more than 4s a week ,and sometimes on a Saturday night he would give her only a few pence.—Charlotte Morris (Crediton) said the defendant had married her daughter 15 years ago, when she had £50 of her own. Until this money was squandered he would not do a day’s work. He was nothing better than an idler and a drunkard. She had often been to defendant’s house in North Street when there was not a bit of food in the house. – “Not even a crust of bread”. She had often spoken to the husband about his children, but he took no notice. Her daughter’s child came to Crediton twice or sometimes three times a day and received money—7s 6d a week from her (witness’s) husband. Questioned by Mr.Dunn, witness admitted that more than once she had been fined for drunkenness.—John Hatten, 13, said during the last two months he had often walked to Crediton for his mother. His father let him have the money, which never amounted to more than 2s. One Saturday night his father brought home 4s and a piece of meat. With part of the money which he (witness) brought home his mother would buy a pint of beer. The disturbance always arose about money matters. “Mother would ask him for money and he would hit her.” His grandfather had often provided him with clothes. There was one bed, and “when father is home we take off one of the mattresses and sleep on the floor.”—Mr. Dunn said this was a case when there had been gross neglect on the mother’s part. The father was legally to blame for not seeing that the money he sent was applied to the children. He asked that such sentence would be passed on the defendant as would enable him to continue his work and support his children. Defendant had made arrangements with his two sisters, both of them most respectable women, for the maintenance of the two children ,if the Bench would say his wife was not a fit person to take charge of them.—The Chief Constable said there were eight convictions against the father and seven against the mother for drunkenness and disorder. At Bristol in 1890 the father was sent to prison for 14 days and the mother for a month on a charge of neglecting their children. – The Bench retired, and on returning the Chairman ( Mr.J.Knapman) said this was the most deplorable case which it had ever been his misfortune to hear from that Bench. If there were any other such families he hoped the sentence of three months’ hard labour, which it had been decided to pass on both defendants, would be a warning.—In answer to Mr.Dunn, the Chairman said if those relatives, of whom the police approved, were willing, the maintenance of the children would be transferred to them, otherwise the children would go to the Workhouse.

ALLEGED NEGLECT OF A CHILD

Stephen Hatten, 40, and Charlotte Hatten, 36, were brought up on a warrant charged with illtreating and neglecting their child William, aged one year and a half, within the last two months. – The Chief-Constable said the doctor in the case, Mr. Kempe, was unable to attend that day, and the child was not yet out of danger. He (the Chief-Constable) would only therefore offer sufficient evidence that day to justify a remand being granted.—Detective Sergeant Vickery said that on Monday night, May 18th, he went to a room on the second floor at 21 Lower North Street, occupied by the prisoners. He saw the female prisoner sitting on a chair in the room. She was drunk and had the infant on her lap. Two other children were lying on a bed in the room with their clothes on. There was no fire to warm the room. The infant was very ill. Witness could not get any sense out of the female prisoner in her drunken condition, and he subsequently left the house. On the next day he again saw the child, and, because of its appearance – he thinking it was dying, -- sent for Mr. Bell. The landlady also sent for Mr. Kempe. Both the prisoners were addicted to drink. On the 21st witness saw the male defendant in the tap-room of the Star Inn, drunk. On Sunday witness again saw the man, this time at his house, in Lower North Street. He (witness) learned that the man was earning about 28s a week as a mason at Crediton. When prisoners were arrested the woman said her husband starved her, and would not send any money home. Witness had seen Mr. Bell about the child, and had been told by him that the infant was suffering from bronchitis, caused by neglect and exposure. – The Chairman said the case was a very bad one, and the prisoners would be remanded until Tuesday next.-- Bail was refused,

Thursday June 4th 1891

A MORE shocking and, at the same time, deplorable case of child neglect has never been brought before Exeter Magistrates than that in which a stonemason named HATTEN and his wife were charged with neglecting his son WILLIAM, an infant under the age of two years. The evidence disclosed a condition of affairs which it is hardly possible to believe could prevail in these days of enlightenment. Unfortunately for civilisation these dark spots do exist, and it is only by prompt and energetic action on the part of the authorities that such cases can be unearthed and dealt with in a manner befitting the heinousness of the offence. In the case of the HATTENS their action is the more reprehensible because neither father nor mother seemed to have lacked for means. Money, however, which should have been spent in the direction of clothing and nourishing their children, whose ages ranged from 13 years to the baby ,16 months old – for neglecting the last-named of which the HATTENS were specifically brought before the Magistrates – was expended in drink. It further transpired that the room in which the defendants lived was very dirty, and contained only one bed, the children sleeping on a mattress when their father came home. The man was proved to be earning good wages at Crediton, returning home every Saturday night, while the woman, even if her husband did not provide her with money to feed the children, which was alleged on her behalf, was known to have 7s a week in her own right. The medical testimony went to show that the woman was a chronic drunkard. When Mr. BELL was called in to examine the children, he found her “evidently recovering from the effects of drink,” and the poor little victims of their parents’ cruelty were very emaciated and suffering from want of food. But this is not all. Dr. KEMPE unfolded even more heartless conduct, for he found the helpless infant, sixteen months old, suffering acutely from congestion of the lungs and bronchitis – a condition in which the child had been for some time, and apparently without the slightest effort having been made to attend to him. Indeed, the child’s life was in “extreme danger”, and when weighed it was found to turn the scale at only 14 ½lbs., whereas the normal weight for an infant of eighteen months is 24lbs. This fact speaks glaringly of the neglect and cruel treatment to which the infant had been subjected, and the HATTENS have good cause to be thankful that they have not to stand their trial on a much more serious charge. It was asserted on behalf of the husband that he was in the habit of continually sending his wife money, averaging, at least, 15s a week, and that she spent it in drink. On the other hand, the woman states that HATTEN never gave her more than 4s a week, but often came home with only a few coppers in his pocket, and knocked and kicked her about in a shameful manner. There is little doubt, however, that both husband and wife were equally responsible for the terrible state in which their children were found, and for which they have been justly punished. The evidence of the neighbours and police proved that the defendants were constantly drunk and quarrelling. The allegation of heartlessness, too, made against the father, applies with equal, if not greater, force against the mother. No woman with a spark of motherly feeling, and particularly one possessed, according to her own admission, of 7s a week in her own right, would allow to practically starve, and to become so weak as to bring their lives in danger. Consequently there is no palliation for CHARLOTTE HATTEN’S offence. Neither is there excuse for her husband, for it was his duty to see that his children were properly fed and cared for. He did not do so; on the contrary, he seemed to have been an accomplice, and looked on without in any way interfering. It is a matter for satisfaction that the Exeter Magistrates took this view; but exemplary as is the punishment of three months’ imprisonment passed upon each of the defendants, there will be found no one to say it is too severe or unmerited. It is to be hoped also that the sentence passed upon the HATTENS will act as a salutary warning to other parents of a similar character, for, regrettable as the circumstance is, it cannot be disguised that there are many others like them, but it has not yet been possible to punish them. But what is the moral which adorns this sad tale? It may be summed up in a sentence – the necessity for the establishment in Exeter of a branch of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, to work in conjunction with the police authorities. Commendable and energetic as has been the action of Mr. LE MESURIER and the officers under him in bringing to light so many cases of cruelty to children, there are circumstances surrounding their office which make it difficult for them to get at neglectful parents. These difficulties the Society’s officers have the means of overcoming, and they are therefore, valuable adjuncts in carrying out a philanthropic work in the interests of child-life. We hope that an attempt will be made to resuscitate the movement which was set on foot some months ago with the view of opening a branch in Exeter, and that the effort will be successful.

Exeter Flying Post

Editorial Comment 6 June 1891

I am very glad to see that the magistrates are taking a much more serious view of cases of cruelty to children than formerly they did. The sentence of three months' imprisonment on Stephen and Caroline [sic] Hatten for their gross cruelty to their children is severe, but not one whit too much. The evidence showed that the male prisoner was earning sufficient money to provide for his children, but both he and his wife preferred to spend the money in drink. And while they were drinking the chidren were practically starving. Such poor, ill-fed, dirty-looking creatures, it would, I sincerely hope, beimpossible to find in the county. All the five children were in a disgraceful state, but the two-yuear-old boy William, and the baby, had been especially neglected. The poor little baby weighed only 14½lbs., whereas the medical evidence was to the effect that it should have weighed 24lbs., and Dr. Kempe further said that if medical assistance had not been called in promptly, the baby would have died. I am willing to believe that such cases as these are rare in Devonshire; but the fact that there is one such case is reason to suppose that there are others, and forms a strong argument in favour of the establishment of a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which I sincerely hope will before long be brought about. [ The London SPCC was renamed the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children on 14 May 1889, because by then it had branches across Great Britain and Ireland. In the same year the Chief Commissioners of the Metropolitan and City of London Police issued instructions that all cases of cruelty to children reported to them should be handed to NSPCC to be dealt with.]

ALLEGED SHOCKING NEGLECT

OF CHILDREN

Stephen Hatten, a mason, and his wife Charlotte, were charged with wilfully neglecting their children between the 15th December and the 16th January, and not providing them with proper food and clothing. – Mr. W.Friend, of Exeter, prosecuted on behalf of the N.S.P.C.C. In his address to the Bench he said that he should be able to prove that the defendants had wilfully neglected their children, and he should ask the magistrates to send them to the Quarter Sessions, as it was a very bad case. The defendants had spent three months in Exeter Gaol commencing last June, and had also been to prison in Bristol for a like offence. He quoted the Act of Parliament,

 

Mr.F.T.Whetham, of Torquay, Inspector of the N.S.P.C.C., said that on Friday, 15th January, he went to the defendants’ house, in Brown’s Court, Mill Street, about 7.30. He saw their boy, Stephen, aged nine years and Lucy Ann, daughter, aged seven years. He told Mrs. Hatten that he was an inspector, and had heard complaints about their conduct to their children. He asked her if she would let him see them? She said, “Yes, here they are.” He found that they had sufficient clothing, but it was very dirty. He examined Lucy, more particularly her underclothing, which was quite black with dirt. The boy’s clothes were also very dirty indeed. He then examined Lucy’s head; it was covered with sores and vermin. Their clothes also contained vermin. Both children were in an emaciated condition and he should think that they had been badly nourished. He then asked Mrs. Hatten to let him see where the children slept? She pointed out an old sofa in the kitchen, and said that she and the children slept on that. The sofa was covered over with sacking, and had a piece of blanket and a piece of quilt, both very dirty and stinking. He asked her if that was the only bedding she had? She said, “Yes,” Asked how it was that the things were so dirty, she said, “I cannot wash them for it is all that I have got for the children.” He asked how many bedrooms she had got? She replied, “One.” He asked if she would let him see it. She went upstairs and Mr. Whetham followed. He found that it contained an old flock bed which was very dirty. The bed clothes consisted of one piece of blanket, one piece of quilt and two sacks, all of which smelt very bad. She said her husband slept there. There was nothing else in the room. The atmosphere was of a very noxious nature. He went to the kitchen and found it also in a filthy state and smelling very bad. The floor was like a road, covered with dirt and looked as though it had never been washed. The only furniture there was a table covered with dirt, the sofa which he had spoken of before, a broken chair, and a stool. The only crockery that he could find was a broken tureen with tea leaves in it, and there was a broken tin teapot. On the table was part of a quarter loaf and a few crumbs of cheese. He asked her whether she had any other food in the house and she said, “No.” There was a small fire burning in the grate. He asked her where her husband was. She said, “Up to the Star drunk; that is where he always is.” Asked what trade he was, she said “A mason, and a good workman. He can get good wages, but he will not work.” She added that she had sent for him, and he had sent her back 3d. He asked her how it was the children were in such a filthy state. She said, “I am in a great trouble; what can I do?” She was very excited and smelt very strongly of drink. He fetched a cab and took the children to the Workhouse. Afterwards he went back to see if he could find the husband. He knocked at the door, which was locked. He called out to know if her husband was there, and she said, “He is gone to bed.” On 21st January Mr Whetham saw the male defendant at his house. He asked him how he accounted for his children being in such a filthy state. He replied “What can I do? I cannot get work and if |I cannot get work I cannot get things for them.”Mr. Whetham asked him how it was that he could always get money for drink? Defendant said, “I get the drink given me, and if you will give us another chance we will do better.” He (Mr. Whetham) replied “You have been to prison twice for the same thing, and he should think that that was sufficient.” Witness had made enquiry and found that defendant could get plenty of work if only he would do it. – Mr. Scott Campbell, surgeon practising at Crediton, said he visited the Workhouse on 16th January and saw defendants’ two children who were in a very emaciated condition. There was no disease to account for that. He considered that they had been very much neglected. Police Sergeant Pratt corroborated the evidence of Inspector Whetham. He often saw Stephen Hatten going home drunk late at night, and Mrs. Hatten had 14 days’ on December 7th for being drunk and disorderly. — Mr. James Brook, builder, said defendant had worked for him and was a very good workman indeed. If he was steady he could get plenty of work. In fact he had offered him work for 24s per week if he would only keep sober. – Mrs. Hatten said in answer to the Bench that she had never neglected the children in her life and had kept them as well as she could with her means. – Stephen Hatten said that he had not had any work since the week before Christmas as the weather had been against it. His wife had a private income which she spent on the children as far as it would go. Defendants were both very excited throughout the trial and the female again begged for mercy with tears. They were committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions on the 5th April. They applied for bail which was granted, themselves in £20 each, and two sureties for each at £10. Mr. Friend applied for the children to remain in the Workhouse until the trial is over. The Bench granted it.

CREDITON

At the Crediton Petty Sessions on Wednesday, Mr. Francis Thynne Whetham, Inspector of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, applied that the children of Stephen Hatten and Charlotte Hatten, who were brought before the Crediton Magistrates on 27th January, and were sentenced at the Exeter Quarter Sessions to six months’ imprisonment with hard labour, might be handed over to the Rev. B. Waugh, director of the Society. He also applied that a sum should be determined upon for the maintenance of the children. – The Chairman granted the application, and made an order of 1s 6d a week for each child.

Saturday 8 October 1892, Issue 7874 –

Exeter Police Court

The Benefit of the Doubt. - STEPHEN HATTIN and CHARLOTTE HATTIN, natives of Crediton, were brought up on a charge of exposing their child, aged about three months. The Chief Constable said they were found the previous night in the Cowley Bridge-road in charge of the infant, which was exposed in such a way as to be dangerous to its health. When spoke to by a constable they refused to go to the Police Station to spend the night. They were discharged from prison during the day and were given passes to take them to Crediton, and a sum of money which belonged to them. P.C. Lewis said previous night about eleven o’clock he saw the prisoners drunk near the entrance to St David’s Station yard in charge of a child about three months old. The infant’s hands and feet were uncovered. They said they had missed the 9.30 train to Crediton. They made no attempt to get lodgings, and said they were going to walk to Crediton. He eventually took them to the Police Station, where he searched them and found that the man had 1s. 8 ½d. and the woman 6s. 2 ½d. The Chairman said the Bench would give defendants the benefit of the doubt, and they would be dismissed, but they must be careful as to their conduct in the future. The Bench commended the action of the constable.

Western Times, 18 December 1902 PARENT SENT TO PRISON AT CREDITON

At Crediton sessions, yesterday, Stephen Hatten, mason, of Mill Street, was summoned for cruelty to his three children, Albert, Richard and Henry. Messrs. Densham and Hamlen, members of the Board of Guardians, retired from the Bench.

Mr. W. Linford Brown, prosecuting, said that defendant was a mason, earning 30s a week. A short time since he lost his wife. On November 25th Inspector Thompson N.S.P.C.C., visited the house and in consequence of what was then seen, Dr. Campbell was called. He saw the child Albert, whose face was very pale and pinched, and his body and clothes were exceedingly dirty, while the boy was very small and was suffering from neglect. The condition of Richard was similar. Henry, aged seven, was in a worse state than either of his brothers. The two smaller boys slept in one room, while the father and the oldest child slept in another. Both rooms were extremely dirty. The elder lad was asked when he washed last, and he replied that he had a bathe in the river last summer. Defendant had been warned on many occasions as to the state of his home.

Inspector Thompson corroborated. - In reply to Mr. A.E. Dunn (who defended), witness said he was aware that a woman would have carried on the work of the house better than the defendant. - P.S. Staddon deposed to warning the defendant on two occasions.

Mr. W. Scott Campbell gave similar evidence, and said the boy Albert was a lot under weight. The children's present condition was injurious to their health.

Sergt. Staddon proved warning defendant on two previous occasions.

Mr. W.W. Smith, master of the Workhouse, said the three lads were admitted to the House on November 25th. On of the boys was three-quarters of a pound less weight now than when admitted, another was the same weight, whilst the third was three-quarters of a pound heavier.

Defendant said he employed a woman named Elston to look after his children, and paid her 7s 6d weekly. He earned between 15s and 20s a week. He himself scrubbed the house once a week.

Cross-examined by Mr. Brown: Defendant owned having been convicted for neglect of children about eleven years ago, and also for drunkenness.

Mary Ann Elston and Eliza Fey gave evidence in favour of the defendant.

The Bench sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour.
