Slice O' Life Thread

[Howard Brown]

What bothers me the most when I read this story aside from the hammering this bastard gave his wife is the sentence issued by the judge. Even though I run into these stories every day, I still can't get adjusted to the sentencing rendered to the convicted in cases of violence towards women and kids...and even some men... vis crimes involving property.....

Two months as opposed to the years we find doled out to people for property related thefts...some for stealing a pair of old shoes.

One quick note....at the time of the murders in Whitechapel, in fact on the day the Mile End Vigilance Committee was launched, this kid would have been 16, pushing 17, and impervious to beatings, with a track record of violence to animals and arson attempts.'

This is a good find, How, and a good story.
However it does strike me that in 1882 a 8 year old child would not have been allowed in court, in any form or manner, as a child under ten could not be sworn in court... so do you think the age has been confused?
With the Australian connection, I think you know what I mean.

[Howard Brown]

...........as a child under ten could not be sworn in court --A.P.

I did not know that, A.P. and thank you for bringing that to light. We should have ( we will at some point ) some thread with British Statutes involving the do's and don't of the British Court system.

Hmmm...this makes this unnamed (What should we expect,eh?) kid a little closer to 20 at the time of the crimes....a little more hardened perhaps or possibly already in jail for some violent offense.

With all the damned crime on the streets at that time, you would think the Judge recognized the situation and did something....

....because like you, I know you've seen cases of little girls and boys getting sentenced for nicking milk....if not milk, then other property related crimes.

A.P....

The Australian connection....possibly meaning the father was a nogoodnik himself ? As in "In Australia" as a catch word for those sent packing south for a spell ?

Its very irritating to a person in looking at the light sentences for wife beating and this particular case and thinking that in time, this kid was on his way to bigger and worser things.

It is said...that all women from Surrey make a man's heart beat in a hurry.
Whether or not Dame Rutherford did that for you, she was certainly a great actress...

Few know that she came from a household that was in turmoil from day one.

This is from the London Times, March 6th, 1883.

The murdered Reverend Benn was her grandfather.
His killer was Dame Rutherford's father, the Reverend's son.
In and out of Broadmoor since the honeymoon night when he married the former Florence Nicholson.
Florence committed suicide in India by hanging herself from a tree when Dame Rutherford was 3 years old.

Remember the old kind with the two cylinders that you would have to guide through ( all the while being super careful you didn't get your fingers caught in it) ?
My grandmom got one of her hands stuck in a washer ( Don't ask me how...she was a Hungarian...so its sort of expected ) and it caused permanent damage to that dumm, er Grandmom's wrist.
I know what you're thinking. Better the hand than the tit,huh ?

What's a "steelyard pea"?

[Howard Brown]

Nemo:

Its probably a ball bearing. Slingshots can be lethal weapons.
Some slingshots known as wrist rockets have the impact & effect of a small caliber handgun. I've used one once or twice to shoot at rats. No success,but I've seen one hit with a volley of small stones. It ain't pretty.

[tel]

It's a bit bigger than that How. Steelyards (pronounced 'still-yds') are an old form of beam balance. The counterweight or 'pea' can weigh anything from a pound up to several. I have a couple of sets of 'em here in my collection.

This sort of shuttling people with mental disorders from one city to the other was going on ( it may still be ) here in Philadelphia just a few years back.
Philadelphia used to have a lot of characters who slept over gratings ( like the one which blew air up under Marilyn Monroe's dress in that film, Bus Stop..ooh...oy...vey... ) in the city...but ahem, a lot of them disappeared into other states accidentally on purpose.

Hi all,

Thought this one might interest you.


At Marlborough-street, on Wednesday, a man convicted of a brutal and unprovoked attack on a respectable woman was fined forty shillings, with the alternative of twenty-one days' imprisonment; at Woolwich, a man convicted of gross cruelty to a cat was sentenced to twenty-one days' hard labour, without the option of a fine.
Evening News 19 October 1888

What can you say?

Dave

[Robert Linford]

I say "miaoww." I'm better off as a cat.:laugh:

[Howard Brown]

Thanks for that Dave.

Even though I knew that the punishment given to men who committed crimes against women back in the LVP (Not just Britain,either) was in many cases not dispensed fairly...that still didn't prepare me as I read the articles which covered those sort of cases.

[Dave James]

Hi How, All,

This may confirm your feelings as expressed in your last post.


Reading press reports of the time, it is astounding how many items dealt with acts of violence against women and the reaction against it, at least in the middle classes, led by leading social reformers of the day, as this editorial in “The Gazette”, dated 2nd October, in the middle of the Ripper's reign of terror, illustrates:
“Mrs. Fenwick Miller's letter in the Daily News is clever and timely. As long as Sir Peter Edlin deems it the first duty of a judge to condemn men who commit brutal outrages on women to merely nominal punishment, it is idle to expect that the ruffianly fraternity will regard women as other than fair game. Mrs. Miller's letter suggests yet another theory of the murders-to wit, that the social scientologist, to whom we attributed them some time ago, wished to bring forcibly before the public mind, the natural corollary of the impunity with which the maiming of women is regarded by three magistrates and judges. Week by week and month by month women are kicked, beaten, jumped on till they are crushed, chopped, stabbed, seamed with vitriol, bitten, eviscerated with red-hot pokers, and deliberately set on fire - and this sort of outrage, if the woman dies, is called 'manslaughter'; if she lives it is 'common assault'. Then arose the sociologist who wishes to carry the experiment one step further, and these murders are the result.'

All the best
Dave

[Howard Brown]

Thanks for providing that article,Dave.

Coincidentally, while looking for Mackenzie stories in the Morning Post,I came across this one involving the judge mentioned in your post. Seems this young lad who was possibly influenced by another more well known (assumed letter writer, that is...) letter writer committed a crime worthy of the judge's ire.

'No cause has been assigned for the disguise'... Really? How about Mary Mudge liked packing fudge... or maybe he/she was waiting for Mary the hairdresser to get back from Bremen... a WM suspect, mind you... and my favorite.

[Howard Brown]

I don't mean to bust yer bubble, Cris...but "Mary" the transtesticle hairdresser has been "inned".

In 2001, Jan Bondeson wrote an article which appeared in Ripperologist ( Issue 37, 2001) which demonstrated that Mary was the surname of Theophil Mary....

No evidence exists in regard to whether he dressed up real pretty like,like a girl..or was gay.

Caz:

Before I dropped off last night, I meant to ask that same question because I also forgot to do that Sunday night..

I don't know for sure...

By the way...have you seen the Connelly which I located ( Debra Arif knows about it)...in a story in which this Connelly thought Eddowes was her sister and went to see her body ?

Thats the thread I've been trying to remember to go back to !

I wonder if that was Pearly Poll.

Hi Howard

Indeed a very sad story of suicide by a broken man.

An aside on the British Bulldog revolver. There is a book called The British Bulldog Revolver; The Forgotten Gun that Really Won the West (http://www.amazon.com/British-Bulldog-Revolver-Forgotten-Really/dp/193146426X) by firearms expert George Layman. The publisher blurb notes:

"Generations of Hollywood Westerns have led us to believe that the Colt Single Action Army was the Gun That Won the West. But could the real honors belong to an inexpensive, yet powerful pocket revolver that is only now beginning to be appreciated by historians and collectors? In this long-awaited new collectors guide, noted author George Layman tells us the true story behind these diminutive, yet devastating, weapons. Perhaps ten times as popular as the Colt and Smith & Wesson combined, British Bull Dog revolvers were first introduced by Philip Webley & Co., but were soon duplicated by the American gun manufacturing giant Forehand & Wadsworth and countless Belgian copyists. Far from being uninteresting and identical, these pistols exist today in almost limitless variety. Learn how to identify rarities and valuable variations, including prices that should be expected for each type. Also, learn which models were carried most in the West by riverboat gamblers, soiled doves and gold miners. Even Billy the Kid might have packed one! So while the gun may have British in its name, the story is all American - and one that has remained untold until now."

Here's another one o' those " Oh man, I don't believe this !" articles.

Just today, I came across an article where some local roughneck beat a constable up and got something like a month in the clink.

Take a gander at this one.

The perp is in his 60's... six weeks in jail...with hard labor !

Strong stuff, Howard, on a jokey and sort of throwaway thread like this.

Simon's article on SRA was just as jokey...on a not-so-jokey-subject matter.
