Place of origin: Nunton, Wiltshire 1882 - Launceston Invalid Depot: Name: Waters, Charles POL709-1-19 page 119 (04 May 1882 to 31 Jul 1882)
Charles Bennett, 24, Barnabas Hutchinson, 19, and Chas. Waters, 21, were indicted for having broken and burnt a thrashing machine, the property of James Read at Downton. This was dearly established the evidence of the prosecutor and another witness. The prisoners pleaded their innocence. The Earl of Radnor, being called to give prisoners a character, said he knew but little of them, beyond their having been employed his grounds as labourers. The prisoners were found guilty. As soon as they had been removed from the bar, Mr Reed said that Bennett had just told him, as he was passing, that he would “throw him up” for this. Mr Justice Anderson told Mr Reed not to fear, as the prisoner would be removed, and would not have the opportunity of “throwing him up.” ----------- Chas Bennett, Charles Waters and Barnabas Hutchinson, convicted yesterday of destroying thrashing machines, were sentenced to 7 years transportation.
