Benjamin Eglinton
born about 1796 at BRUGES BELGIUM
Apparently according to a record, brought up in Plymouth - However
we have no idea who his parents were and why they happened to
be in Belgium.
Benjamin could have had a brother Samuel Eglington
born in 1788 at Belgium. This Samuel married Sarah Derbyshire
in 1814. Samuel and Sarah's first daughter Mary Ann, was
baptised on September 5th 1815, a second daughter Sarah,
baptised on November 29th 1818, a son Jospeh, baptised
on Dec 9th 1821 and third daughter Maria, baptised January
9th 1822. In the 1841 census Samuel age 52 and Sarah, 51 were
living at Lower Wick Lane Hackney, about 3 miles from where Benjamin
was in Primrose Street. With them was a Harriet Eglington
age 18, a dressmaker. From records Samuel never had a daughter
called Harriet but Benjamin did, as Harriet's age fits Benjamin's
daughter, is this her staying with her uncle?
In the 1851 census Samuel had his daughter Mary Ann living
with him, she had married William Earl in 1838, Samuel
was now a widow aged 72, he is also now blind and still living
at Wicks Lane. By 1861 Samuel together with his daughter's family
had moved to 10 Kings Road Hackney.
If Samuel is Benjamin's brother it tells us their parents lived
in Belgium between the years 1788 - 1796. What occupation or position
did they have?
From Belgium records (still under construction)
there was a Laurent Samuel Eglington born December 26th
1788 at St Gillis Brugge, the son of Joseph and Sara Eglington.
This appears to be the Samuel above. Joseph and Sara also had
a son Joseph who died on January 6th 1790 - where they also Benjamin's
parents? - No further information at present?
Note:
Just throwing this into the research as it could fit!! |
Could this be Joseph
and Sara/Sarah's marriage??
1786: Jan 1 - Marriage

Joseph Eglington bachelor of St John married Sarah
Eglington (same name) spinster of All Saints and St

Another fact which is of
interest.....

There was much unrest in Belgium
during this time, Belgian Revolution of 1789–90 was only
part of it - Was Benjamin's father a teacher or connected to the
Colleges of St Omer, Bruges and Liège - were they part
of the below.....
Brugge, Belgium
In 1793, the French Revolution and the United Kingdom declaration
of war to France ended the Saint Omer College. The English faculty
and students were imprisoned until February 1795. English penal
laws and related discrimination had changed regarding Catholic
education, so when released, some of the staff and most of the
then about 100 students went to England, in order to avoid war
on the European continent. A former student, Thomas Weld, donated
a mansion and grounds at Stonyhurst, in Lancashire. The modern
school, Stonyhurst College continues to this day as a direct
lineal descendant of the College of Saint-Omer.
Benjamin Eglinton
claimed to be a Chemist and Druggist by trade but no record has
been found to prove this or where he gained his qualifications,
that's if he had any! The article below make us ask this question
- In his court case (below) in 1844, Benjamin is stated as keeping
a Chandler's shop in Blossom-Street, Norton-Falgate London - previous
to this in 1832 in what appears to be baptism of a daughter, Elizabeth,
his trade is records as 'Tallow Chandler.' The definition of a
Chandler is 'One that makes or sells candles' and 'A dealer in
nautical supplies' - this needs further investigation.
MUSEUM OF THE ROYAL PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY
Early history and foundation - In the early 1800s, some chemists
and druggists had already worked collectively to protect the
profession’s interests. They successfully argued for an
exemption from the Apothecaries Act of 1815, formed a committee
to monitor the progress of a proposed Sale of Poisons Bill in
1819, and created a short-lived General Association of Chemists
and Druggists to promote protection against the Medicine Stamp
Duty Act. In 1841, a group of chemists and druggists convened
a public meeting in London to discuss a proposed medical reform
bill. Although this bill failed at its second reading, the trade
felt vulnerable. It was unregulated and unrestricted. Anyone
could operate under the title of Chemist and/or Druggist.

The first record we have of Benjamin
is this his first marriage
1817: Sep 28 - Marriage record at St Pride Fleet Street
London - Find my Past
Benjamin Eglington married
Elizabeth Jones
From his transportation notes we are told Benjamin had 3 children
although there are records which disputes this as there are records
that appear to show he had five with his first wife, Elizabeth
and three with Sophia his second., although her name is different.
We know there was a William born about 1826 as on William's marriage
certificate in 1850 to Mary Cope his father is recorded
as Benjamin Eglinton a Chemist also a witness named James
Eglington which could have been Benjamin and Elizabeth's first
child.
This is what a search for baptism's and deaths records have revealed
with, Father: Benjamin and Mother: Elizabeth.....

However there is also a Benjamin

in the same year (1823) has been found - so was this Benjamin's
daughter.
1826: William Eglington would fit in
here although there is no baptism record. –
ANCESTRAL LINE
We see in 1825 on the record of his sister's
burial (Elizabeth) there was a note to say the family were Dissenters.
Maybe William was baptised by the Non-Conformists in another

No records have been found to John

record can be found for a George are they one of the same.
1836: - Sophia Eglinton

We know from census records
Benjamin and Sophia also had a daughter Sophia born about
1836 at Spitalfields, Middlesex -
Although no birth/baptism record has been found - Their daughter
Sophia married John Scalett in the Sep quarter of 1863.
In 1871 there were living at 187 Whitechapel and staying with
them was Sophia's mother who was now 75, Her father, Benjamin
is not found in the census. The 1881 census shows Sophia's husband
(John) was a Coffee House Keeper at 9 Beresford Street Newington
London. In the 1911 census the couple were living at an eight
room property, 99 High Road London, they state they had had
6 children 4 of which were still living.

Case: 1312 - WILLIAM PERRY was indicted
for stealing 12 boxes of patent medicine, called Dr. Freeman's
Never-failing Ointment for the Itch, value 9s. 6d.; and
12 other boxes of ointment, 9s. 6d.; 3 boxes of Scots' pills,

EGLINTON and PETER JORDAN for feloniously receiving
part of the same, knowing them to have been stolen; against
the Statute, &c.
MR. WILDE conducted the Prosecution.
CHARLES THAIN (City police-constable, No. 19.)
I know the three prisoners. Perry lives in George-street,
Shoreditch, Eglinton
keeps a chandler's shop in Blossom-street, Norton-falgate,
Jordan lives in Staralley, Fenchurch-street—I have
seen Jordan and Eglinton
together frequently— about a quarter past one o'clock,
on the 11th of March, I saw Jordan leave his house in Star-alley,
and go up White Lion-street, Norton-falgate—Eglinton
was standing at the corner of White Lion-street—Jordan
passed by him without taking the least notice of him—I
had seen them together before that day, at Eglinton's
house—Jordan turned up Blossom-street and went into
Eglinton's house—at
the time Jordan passed Eglinton
he pointed his hand along White Lion-street, and Perry was
crossing from the City of London Theatre—I should
say he could see Eglinton
when he was crossing—Eglinton
went into a public-house, and Perry directly after him—that
was all I saw that day—about one o'clock, on the 19th
of March, I saw Perry leave Bow Church-yard, where the pro-secutor's
warehouse is—I followed him to the Black Dog in Long-alley,
Moorfields—he went in at a sort of private entrance
they call the "bottle department"—he remained
there nearly five minutes, and came out with Eglinton—they
parted in Crown-street, and Perry went along Long-alley—on
the 23rd I saw Perry leave Bow Church-yard, about twenty-five
minutes past eight o'clock in the morning—I followed
him down Bow-lane—he went into a coffeeshop in Great
St. Thomas the Apostle—he afterwards came out and
went down Garlick-hill—I continued having my eye on
the coffee-shop in Great St. Thomas the Apostle—I
saw Eglinton come out
of the same coffee¬house and go towards his house—I
went to the Plough, in Plough-yard, Shore-ditch—after
I had been there a little while Perry came in and went into
the tap-room—she remained in a few minutes, and then
Eglinton came out, and
then Perry—they parted about the door-way—I
then went after Eglinton
and took him—I told him I was a City of London policeman,
I should take him for receiving stolen property belonging
to Mr. Sutton, of Bow Church¬yard, from Perry the porter
to the firm—he said, "I never received any stolen
property that I am aware of, or yet to my knowledge"—I
searched the house, No. 9, Star-alley, Fenchurch-street
(I had seen Jordan go in and come out of that house on several
occasions) I found three boxes of Scots' pills with this
writing on them as it is now, "William Sutton and Son,
late Dicey and Son, Bow Church-yard."
Cross-examined by MR. BALLANTINE. Q. What
was the charge on the other indictment that has been tried?
A. Perry was charged with stealing—I cannot say on
what day—I did not indict them—I gave evidence
on the 11th, 19th, and 20th of March—I only proved
the connexion—I mentioned Monday, the 11th of March
last, as the day the theft was committed—Eglinton's
warehouse is rather better than a mile from Bow Church-yard,
where the things were stolen from. (See paye945.)
Cross-examined by MR. PAYNE. Q. You did
not interfere with Jordan at all? A. No—I did not
examine his coat to see if he had an inside-pocket—I
do not believe be had—I have been a policeman nine
or ten years—I cannot say whether you have a pocket
in your coat-tail inside—the parcel was placed right
up his back.
SAMUEL COOMBS (policeman.) On the 19th of
March I sow Jordan and Eglinton
together—I took Perry into custody.
JAMBS ALLAN SHARWOOD , druggist, 58, Bishopsgate-st.
I have known the prisoner Jordan many years by name—I
have bought things of him—I have bought patent medicines
of him—on the 20th of March last I gave him orders
for a dozen of each ointment—on Friday the 21st of
March, at half-past nine in the morning, he brought me this
dozen of patent-medicine—he asked me 8s. for it, which
I paid—that was under the usual price—I had
a reason for purchasing at a reduced price, as I had communicated
with Messrs. Sutton, and I bought them—9s. 6d., was
the proper price—I had bought another dozen of him
the day previous—I had also purchased half-a-dozen
on the 19th—I had refused that half-dozen on the Saturday
previous—there is a mark on it—I marked it at
half-past nine on the 21st of March—I received these
from Jordan in the month of January—it was the last
of the patent ointment that he could supply—he stated
that he could sell them at less than the regular price.
Cross-examined by MR. PAYNE. Q. Did you
give evidence on a previous charge of receiving stolen property?
A. Yes—I had no reason to doubt that he was carrying
on a respectable business in the chemist and drug-gist line—I
know that he has been acting as a seller of patent medicine
on commission—I never saw him at a sale—I have
purchased things of him, according to his representation,
just after a sale—patent medicines are not gene-rally
sold—there are spurious patent medicines—you
do not always get the right article—there was no concealment
about Jordan in any of the transactions—I never heard
any thing against his character—the difference between
the price Messrs. Sutton sell it at, and what I paid was
18d., on the twelve boxes.
WILLIAM COLLINS . In March last, I was in
the employ of William Henry Sutton and Son—I remember
marking some medicines on Sunday the 17th of March—they
were kept in a box in the cellar—at ten minutes past
eight o'clock, on Thursday, the 21st of March, I saw them
in the cellar—I saw Perry there that morning—he
is a porter in their employ—the latest time I saw
him come out of the cellar was about twenty-five minutes
past eight—I cannot speak positively—he left
altogether at twenty minutes to nine—all the men went
out to breakfast—I saw him go out—I did not
look outside the door—directly after he left I went
down into the cellar, and missed one dozen—I know
this ointment by these marks—I know Eglinton
by sight—I had never seen him at our house—I
have seen him in the neighbourhood, in Bow-lane—I
did not see him on my master's premises on the morning of
the 21st—I cannot say whether we have any real patent
for these medicines—I do not know of any.
COURT. Q. You saw Perry come out of the
cellar, had any body else been in the cellar that morning?
A. Yes, James Jarman, one of the young men—I cannot
be positive whether it was before or after—he is not
here—he went down when I saw the things safe.
JAMES GELLATLY (City policeman.) I know
Eglinton and Perry—I
have seen them together at the Plough, Plough-yard. Shoreditch—I
saw them there on Wednesday the 20th of March, at half-past
eight o'clock in the evening—Perry came to the door
and looked in—the pot-boy said. "He is not here
yet"—he then went away, returned in three or
four minutes, sat down and called for a pint of beer and
a pipe—Eglinton
came in, and said to Perry, "I have a dozen more ordered;
it is strange, it is not, that they should be wanted, for
last week the parties would not look at them, much more
buy"—Perry said, "Between this and Saturday"—Eglinton
said, "The parties are in a hurry for them"—they
soon after left—I heard nothing more that night—I
was there on the next evening, Thursday the 21st, the day
in question, in plain clothes—I saw them both sitting
there—I heard Eglinton
say to Perry, "Anything to-night?"—Perry
said, "No"—they were soon after joined by
a man and lad, and all four left—on Saturday, the
23rd of March, I apprehended Jordan coming from Eglinton's
house—I said, "I am one of the City police, I
take you into custody charged with receiving stolen goods
knowing them to be stolen, belonging to Messrs. Sutton and
Co."—he said, "You must be mistaken; I know
Sutton and Dicey well, and have laid out hundreds of pounds
with them; I will give you my address, Nicholas-street,
Hoxton, and No. 9, Star-alley, Fenchurch-street, where I
sleep"—he said he might be found when wanted—I
told him he must come with me—he said, "Young
man, listen to me, and I will be a father to you"—I
told him I had no desire to hear any thing he had to say—he
said he had a relation in a dying state who he wished to
see, and if I wanted 5l. at any time I could have it—I
told him I could not listen to any such proposal, he must
come to Moor-lane station—he said, "Very well"—on
our road he said he had known Eglinton
for years—I had not mentioned Eglinton
to him—I said, "I have not mentioned any name"—he
said, "No, I thought you saw me come out of his house"—he
said, Saturday being a busy day it would inconvenience him
a good deal, but he would go to Sutton's if I liked.
Cross-examined by MR. BALLANTINE. Q. How
long have you been a police constable? A. Since the 16th
of February—I am twenty-two years old—before
I went into the police I was servant to Mr. Stevens, a solicitor,
in Queen-street, Cheapside—I get 17s. a week—if
my conduct is approved of I shall get a higher salary—I
shall be promoted in the event of giving satisfaction—I
do not expect to get up after this, not for six months—I
took a memorandum of the conversation the same evening,
about half an hour afterwards—I have it here—I
was not desired to bring it with me—I was asked for
it the last time—I took it down from recollection—I
have referred to it pretty often since—I do not know
that it is put down in the order that it passed—I
do not know that the words exactly follow each other in
the order I have told you to-day—I was put there to
watch—I did not take the memorandum the first day,
because I did not think of it—I did not put it down
for the purpose of reference, but to refresh my memory—the
pot-boy was here this morning.
Cross-examined by MB. PAYNE. Q. Did not
Jordan say, being in his work-day dress, he should like
to change it? A. Yes. I said he could not—he said,
"I have known Eglinton
for years, and have sold drugs for him on commission"—he
might have seen me when he came out of the shop—I
saw him come out of the shop at half-past three o'clock
in the afternoon, and I took him—two of the prisoners
had a hearing on Monday—Jordan was examined on Monday
morning—it was in the street he said he would go to
Sutton's if I liked—he appeared very indignant at
the charge—he talked very fast and loud—I have
not discovered that he told me a single falsehood—I
have never inquired whether the places of residence are
correct—he did not make any attempt to escape—he
was going the contrary way till I turned him round—he
did not fight me—he talked so fast I cannot remember
all he said—I never heard any body say that he had
a relative in a dying state—he said so himself before
the Alderman—I will not swear he did not say he thought
it strange Messrs. Sutton had not ascertained the loss instead
of taking him prisoner—he spoke about the 5l. directly
after saying he had a relative in a dying state.
MR. BALLANTINE. Q. Have you ever shown this
paper to any body? A. No—I did not mention the conversation
to any body except the Magistrate.
Jordan. It was my own daughter that was
dying; that was the reason I offered him 5l.
GEORGE JONES . I am manager to Messrs. Sutton. I never saw
Jordan before—if he had been in the habit of buying
patent medicines at our place I must have known him—patent
medicines are never sold at a reduction.
Cross-examined by MR. PAYNE. Q. Do you know
Mr. Jordan who formerly carried on a large business in Whitechapel?
A.No.—I cannot swear he has not done business with
our house twenty-five years ago—I never heard till
the last week or two that he was a large chemist and druggist
in Whitechapel—I have been in the business eighteen
years, and can only speak to that time—I will not
swear he did not carry on business in Whitechapel.

King, tavern-keeper; Alfred; and Richard Divine, chemist

1844: Nov 15 – Benjamin
Eglinton arrived at Van Diemen’s Land –
nothing is known of his life as a convict until the end of his
sentence in 1851. From all accounts he had formed a relationship
with a Matilda Martha Brooker – it is not clear if
this relationship was formed in Tasmania or if it was on the ship
to Melbourne. However it seems a little strange that Benjamin
was granted a Ticket-of-Leave in the August of 1848 and Matilda
had left here husband earlier in the same year. You have to ask
the question who fathered Matilda's last two children she had
registered under the name Brooker in 1848 and 1850. Officially
there were two children by this relationship born in 1852 and
1856, both born in Victoria both with the surname Eglinton although
it was changed to Morgan.

From the newspaper advert placed by her
husband it appears Matlida walked out on him which brings
the question, was the child born in 1850 actually his?

Land to Melbourne, Victoria with 3 of her children.
1852: No record has been
found that Benjamin Eglinton ever married Matilda
Brooker nee Simmons – however in 1852 a Louisa
Eglinton was born in Melbourne and in 1856 a Morton
Eglinton was born in Ballarat. (Morton was listed as
James Benjamin in the Birth Index and Morton on the
actual certificate). Parents were listed as James Benjamin
and Matilda for both children. It can only be assumed
that Matilda had changed her name to Eglinton as we assume
Benjamin was not prepared to commit bigamy which if caught
would have led to further incarceration. The question has
to be asked why Benjamin abandoned Matilda and his two children.

SINGULAR CASE OF SUICIDE.
A young woman named Louisa Morgan, aged about nineteen
years, and a servant in the family of Mr Robert Jones,
of Sturt street, committed suicide on Saturday last, by
cutting her throat, under somewhat painful and melancholy
circumstances. The deceased was a robust, vigorous, and
rather good-looking girl. Though peculiar in her manner
at times, she was treated with more than ordinary consideration
by Mrs Jones and her family, to whom she had been known
for over eight years. She had been a domestic in the employment
of Mrs Bradshaw, Mrs Jones' mother, previously, but had
been with Mrs Jones for about eighteen months. She was
the daughter of a Mrs Morgan, who resides on Soldiers'
Hill.
She took her stepfather's patronymic,
but her real name was Brooker. Until within the last few
months she was a remarkably steady sensible girl, attentive
to her work, quiet and respectful in her manner, and was
so great a favourite with Mr Jones' family, that she was
regarded almost in the light of a companion.
During the Christmas holidays it appears she went down
to Melbourne on a visit to some relatives, and remained
there a week. Since her return she was completely altered
in her manner.
Instead of being tidy, diligent, and
attentive to her business, she became reserved, absent-minded,
and careless about her attire and appearance. She maintained
a sort of clandestine correspondence with some person
in Melbourne sending her letters, which she got addressed
by one of Mr Jones' daughters, under cover to her sister-in-law,
and receiving letters evidently in a man's handwriting.
Those communications appeared to increase the reserve
and peculiarity of her demeanour, and it seems very probable
that they had some connection with the unfortunate girl's
unhappy fate. On Wednesday last she received one of those
letters, and Mrs Jones, who delivered it to her, could
see that the superscription was in the handwriting of
a man. She questioned her about the matter, but the deceased
told her that the letters were from her little nephew.
The receipt of the letter appeared to intensify her gloominess
and despondency and in the afternoon, having obtained
some money, she purchased as was afterwards ascertained,
a shilling's worth of laudanum from Mr Griffiths, a chemist
in the neighbourhood.
There is some reason to believe that she
took a portion of the laudanum, and that it failed in
its effect. She went to bed early on Thursday night, and
in the morning complained of being ill and unable to leave
her bed. She could give no satisfactory explanation of
her illness, but complained of her head; and though she
rose in the afternoon, she could do little, a she seemed
in a sort of stupor.
On Thursday night she disappeared, but
was not missed till morning, when all the enquiries made
failed to discover her whereabouts. On Friday night she
presented herself at the house of Mrs Jones' father, and
informed them that she had wandered away, not knowing
where she was going, in the direction of Creswick, and
had been picked up by a gentleman who was returning to
Ballarat in a buggy, and brought into town. There is no
reason whatever for sup-
posing that the deceased was subject to somnambulistic
peregrinations, as stated in an evening contemporary.
She did frequently walk about the garden attached to Mr
Jones' house at night; but it arose from the fact that
she was troubled in her mind, and could not sleep. She
was kept by Mrs Jones' mother on Friday night, and brought
back to her mistress on Saturday morning, about nine o'clock.
The poor girl appeared deeply affected, as she cried bitterly,
and explained her conduct by stating that she did not
know what she was doing. Mrs Jones treated her with every
kindness, and she then proceeded
with her work. About twelve o'clock she was missed, and
after a search it was found that she had gone into a small
bedroom detached from the house, and locked herself in.
Mrs Jones called her repeatedly, but received no answer.
It was noticed also that, hearing someone
outside the door, the deceased turned the key in the lock
in such a manner as to prevent anyone seeing into the
interior of the apartment. Thinking she was only indulging
in a little temper, Mrs Jones did not disturb her, but
allowed her to remain in the room. About one o'clock,
however, she became uneasy, and sent one of her little
boys to call her. The boy, finding no notice was taken
of his message, endeavoured to raise the window, and then
discovered that the wretched girl had cut her throat,
and was lying on her face bleeding profusely. Mr Robert
Jones arrived home just as the discovery was made. He
at once rushed to the room, but finding the door too strong
to be broken open, he gained admission through the window.
He found the deceased lying on her face, her chin supported
by a bundle of linen, with a deep gash in her throat,
from which the blood was flowing copiously. She was alive,
but when questioned gave no sign of consciousness beyond
opening her eyes and apparently recognising those about
her. On the floor were two carving knives; one of them.
that with which she had inflicted the wound, being quite
new, and the other an old one, which she probably thought
was not sharp enough for her purpose. That the act was
the result of premeditation, was evident from the fact
that she abstracted the new carving knife from Mrs Jones'
bedroom, where it hid been placed along with other cutlery
that had never been used. The quantity of blood on the
floor was quite enormous. The walls, furniture, and bedding
were smeared with the ghastly tokens of her struggles,
the marks of her outstretched, bloodstained hands being
perceptible on the floor in several places. She would
seem to have almost severed the windpipe, and was thus
probably prevented from calling for assistance; either
that, or with astonishing resolution and nerve she inflicted
the wound, and then while bleeding took a sheet form the
bed, rolled it up, placed it pillow wise on the floor,
lay down with her face upon it, and in that position bled
almost to death. Mr Jones had her immediately conveyed
to the Hospital, where Dr Owen at tended her. The wound
having been stitched, it is stated- though we doubt the
fact- that she asked for a drink of water. She was placed
in bed, made a sign for water, and gradually fell into
a state of unconsciousness until she expired, in about
an hour after her admission. An Inquest will be held today
upon the body. The affair excited a good deal of interest
and sympathy for the unfortunate girl when It became known
in Ballarat on Saturday. It was stated that she had been
fretting owing to Mr Jones and his family being about
to return to England; but, from various circumstances,
which will no doubt be revealed at the inquest, her state
of mind was superinduced from some more serious source
of disappointment or trouble.

People ended up in the workhouse for a variety
of reasons, usually it was because they were too poor, old or
ill to support themselves. This may have resulted from such things
like lack of work during periods of high unemployment, or someone
having no family willing or able to provide care for them when
they became elderly or sick.
A point of interest - The First World War Heroine Edith Cavill
was later in 1903 assistant Matron at the Shorditch Workhouse
infirmary where she pioneers follow-up home visits for discharged
patients.

1866: Wednesday June 13
- The Conwall Chronical - POLICE COURT. Saturday, 9th June,
1866. (Before Wm. Gunn, Esq., P. M)
HOUSEBREAKING - Thomas Grant was charged
by Con stable Daniel O'Donnell witb having, on the 10th
instant, feloniously broken into and entered the dwelling
house of Mr Mark Brooker, at Franklin Village, and stolen
therefrom an opposum-skin rug, a double pair of blankets,
a cotton rug, and other articles.
Mark Brooker sworn, deposed — I reside at Franklin
Village, near Kerry Lodge, and have a small farm and dwelling-bouse
there; no one resides with me; yesterday I left my house
about half -past 11 o'clock in the forenoon, and secured
my door by a padlock ; I returned at about quarter-past
4 in the afternoon and found that the house had been entered
during my absence by drawing the staple in the door to which
the hasp was fastened; the padlock was in the staple in
the jamb to which the hasp had been sawed: I examined the
place inside and missed my opossum-skin rug, a cotton rug,
and a pair of blankets, which had been taken off the bed;
some articles of food were also carried away; I searched
about and found the track of footsteps leading towards the
road; I went to a neighbour and told him what had occurred,
and was then going towards the Police Station to make a
report; owing to something Mr Fisher said to me I remained
with him for a little time, and saw two men coming down
the road from the direction of Kerry Lodge towards the Village.
The prisoner Thomas Grant was one of them. He was carrying
a bundle, which I saw consisted of an opossum skin rug.
I asked him to let me look at it. He said, 'Look at it,
look at it' and continued to walk on and carry it with him.
Mr Fisher and I followed after him and still asked to see
the rug. The prisoner's companion then asked the prisoner
to put it down, he did so and I opened it and found inside
it all the things I had missed from my house I said these
were the things stolen from my house.
Mr Fisher said — '' Give him in charge' The prisoner,
after he laid his bundle down walked away before I examined
it, and the other man with him. We called them back and
they came back ; I charged them with stealing the things.
The prisoner said he did it and the other man had nothing
to do with it. The prisoner then went on towards the Village.
Mr Fisher told me to follow him and give him in charge,
and he would look after the other man, When he said that,
the other man bolted down the road which leads towards the
White Hills. I followed tbe prisoner and met Constable O'Donuell
coming towards me ; I gave him the prisoner in my charge.
I returned with the constable and prisoner, with whom the
bundle was left, and the constable took possession of it.
I identify the rugs and blankets produced. They are my property,
and of the value of £l. 4s. 6d. Constable O'Donuell
was examined and the prisoner, who had nothing to say in
his defence, was then fully committed for trial. |

In 1875 the first newspaper announcement
appeared in the Sporting Life showing William 1826
had taken work in France. It also appears his son William
James Eglinton 1851 and his 2nd wife Lizzie joined
them sometime after their wedding on Septmeber 6th 1875.
William James and Lizzie's first son William
David Eglinton was born there followed by Estelle
Lizzie and Lawrence Edward. We do know William
James 1851 and his family were back in England by the
1881 census. Although we find William 1826 died at
his French home on Qctober 26th 1881.

It appears Violetta was
not taken into William’s next marriage. There could
be several reason but what we do know is sometime about
1875 after William married Lizzie they moved to Boulogne-Sur-Mere
France where William was employed as manager to Mr J
Smith of Glasgow on the local racing track. William
and Lizzie lived in France until about 1881 and there they
had three children. From this it is fairly certain William
could speak French and also shows he must have had some
good schooling.
So what happed to Violetta
