Note on Husband: Tobias Browne HEARD

Morning Chronicle 22 April 1856

ASSAULT. - Henry Tinsley, a well-dressed man, described as a basketmaker, aged 22, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting Mr Tobias Browne Heard, the landlord of the Elder Tree public -house, in Chrisp Street, Bromley St. Leonard. Mr. Pelham, who conducted the prosecution, said that Mr. Heard had been assaulted under circumstances of a very aggravated nature and the prisoner was deserving of severe punishment. He called Mr. Heard, who stated that the prisoner had been a customer of his about seven months, and in the course of that time had frequently misconducted himself and annoyed the customers of the Elder Tree. On Thursday, the 10th inst., the prisoner left his house, in Carter Street, and, rushing into the complainant's house, threatened to summon him for shooting some pigeons on his own premises abutting on Carter Street. An altercation ensued, and the prisoner called Mr. Heard a puppy and other offensive names. The defendant then attempted to strike Mr. Heard, but was prevented doing so by the customers, and by the complainant slapping a cloth he held in his hand. On Saturday night the prisoner entered the Elder Tree public-house, while Mr. Heard was very busy, and caused a disturbance amongst the customers. Mr. Heard hearing a noise in the parlour, went in to quell the disturbance, on which Tinsley, who was in a furious passion, and said he would do Mr. Heard all the mischief in his power, put himself in a fighting attitude, and struck Mr. Heard several times about the head and face with his clenched fists, blackened one of his eyes, and cut his nose and mouth. Mr. Heard lost a good deal of blood and appeared in court with marks on his face and head. His evidence was confirmed by several witnesses who witnessed the unmanly conduct of the prisoner.The prisoner in defence said the witness shot a pigeon ten days ago, and alarmed Mrs. Tinsley very much, and that on Saturday night fighting was going on, and the landlord was holding the stakes. Mr. Heard explained that he shot a pigeon on his own ground, and could injure no one, and that on Saturday some persons did stake some money on a fight, and were instigated by the prisoner to do so. The money was staked in the potboy's hands, and when he (Mr. Heard) came to hear of it he made him refund the money to the persons of whom he had received it, and turned the fighting men out of the house. Mr. Yardley said the complainant had done what was right and proper, and he had no doubt the prisoner was a malicious as well as a very turbulent and violent man, who seemed determined to injure the landlord's character as well as his person. He fined the prisoner £3 and in default of payment one month's imprisonment.
