Michael Morris, William Evans, James Neale, Charles alias Phillips, Samuel Monks, Henry Gomm, George Bowyer, Thomas Palmer,  Abraham Evans, Richard Bishop, James Isles, Wm. Berry, James Rice and William Thompson, were indicted for feloniously wounding William Evans, gamekeeper, with intent to do him some bodily harm, on the 6th day of February last, Lasborough, in this county. Wm. Evans examined Mr. Talbot.—On the 6th day of February last was gamekeeper to Mr. Moreton; I was out rabbiting  Lasborough; Thomas Lucas was with me. About 1 o’clock in the morning information was given me that persons were out poaching; I went towards wood when I got into the Bath road I heard shots fired, they appeared from the Gorse cover; I went there; Philip Evans, who was in the road at work, went with me. There is a green lane in the Gorse-cover; went down ; Philip Evans and Lucas went with me; I was first. ....   Gloucestershire Chronicle, 11 April 1835. Assize Intelligence. APRIL 8. (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.), William Evans, aged 31; James Cole, aged 31; Michael Morris, aged 20;  Nathaniel Evans, aged 30; James Neale, aged 21; Charles Milsome, aged 24; Samuel Monks, aged 22; Henry Gomm, aged 26; George Bowyer, aged 27; Thomas Palmer, aged 24; William Thompson, aged 23 ; Abraham Evans, aged 48; James Isles, aged  aged 39 ; William Berry, aged 21; James Rice, aged 21, and Richard Bishop, aged '20, were charged with maliciously wounding William Evans, a gamekeeper. Morning Herald, 10 April 1835. The following are the of the parties convicted William Evans, as principal, and, accessaries, James Cole, Michael Morris, Nathaniel Evans, James Neale, Charles Milsome, Samuel Monkes, Henry Gomin, George Bowyer, Thomas Palmer, Abraham Evans, Richard Bishop, James Isles, William Berry, and James Rice. They were all of them stout, active,  good-looking young men; and, among the number, some were persons of respectability, particularly James Cole, who, at the time his apprehension, was in the occupation of a large farm at Little Sodburv, belonging to Sir C. B. Codrington, Bart. We sincerely trust the fate of these individuals will operate as a check and warning to all such as may be thoughtlessly j tempted to associate with that worst and most desperate of all characters, the poacher.   Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette, 16 April, 1835.  Poachers. —The following sentences have been passed on these prisoners, convicted at our last Assizes, for feloniously wounding William Evans, the gamekeeper: Transportation for Life: James Cole and William Evans.— Transportation for Fourteen Years: Michael Morris, James Neale, Henrv Gomin, Richard Bishop.—For Seven Years: Nathaniel Evans, Abraham Evans, James Isles, William Berry, James Rice.—One Year's Imprisonment: Charles Milsom, Samuel Monks, George Bowyer, and Thomas Palmer.
