Hi Roach

That was really interesting to read, it had me hooked straight away.   :) :) :)

But, Lol....... ;D ;D ;D

Look what I found....


Despite the magistrate's dying pleas that Jobling had not been responsible for the attack, the authorities desperately needed a scapegoat to serve as an example, so on August 1, 1832, Jobling, who was illiterate, was tried at Durham Assizes - without any legal representation - and was found guilty of murder.    :-\

Hi Keira

The internet is wilderness of information......I doubt all we read is true??????

Isabella, Williams Joblings wife died in 1891 in a workhouse....she outlived him for nearly 60 years after his death.  ;) ;) ;)

Thanks Patti.  Perhaps it was an 1832 conspiracy theory?  I mean, authorities under immense pressure, scapegoat etc etc.

wichfinder I am impressed you can say more than two or three words.  You will be able very soon to join in the debates.  Keep up the good work I am so proud of you. :)  Must be a new type of seed you are eating ;)
