Gun Crime, 1828
Hull Packet, 8th December 1828
SERIOUS OUTRAGE.- The following has been transmitted
to us by a correspondent :- “A serious occurrence, to which I was an eye-witness, took place on Friday the 8th inst. at Wintringham. Three men, a father and two-sons, named Pickersgill, who bear an indifferent character, entered the village about six o’clock in the evening, in a state of intoxication, and commenced quarrelling with the inhabitants. After the three had been fighting with some persons for a short time, the father, finding their antagonists getting the better of them, ran up to his house, a distance about 200 yards, swearing he would shoot two of the inhabitants, and the constables who had interfered for the preservation of the peace. He was seen to charge his gun, after which he returned down the street. One of the constables, and several inhabitants, endeavoured to wrest the weapon from him to prevent mischief. Finding himself overpowered, he cocked the piece and fired. There were at the time nearly 200 persons assembled. The shot struck the ground and rebounded, wounding a woman and her daughter who were standing at their own door, and a girl and boy, the latter of whom is considered to be in some danger, he having received three shots in his body. The rage of the populace was powerfully excited at this desperate act; they seized the gun and dashed it to pieces, and could scarcely be restrained from executing summary vengeance upon its owner. He was however handcuffed and placed in a situation of security during the night, and on the following morning conveyed to Burton.” Our correspondent adds that, after an investigation into the particulars of the case, the magistrate, Sir Robert Sheffield, committed the prisoner for a limited period to Kirton house of correction, in consequence of one of the inhabitants stating that he considered his life in danger from his violence. The two sons, who had also been in custody were released. It is said that the parishioners of Wintringham are determined to bring the affair to trial at the sessions.

Coal-Cart Race down Low Burgage
Hull Packet, 3rd December 1858
RACING PROHIBITED.- On Saturday afternoon a spirited race between four coal carts took place here from the Gate-end to the
Waterside. After much flogging, and in spite of accident, Jonathan came in first by about a length, and the rest in rotation.
Previous to starting they indulged in a “leetle” drop, and it was supposed that Jock had slipped out and removed the lynch pin from Jonathan’s cart wheel, but strange to say, the wheel kept in its place to within about 20 yards of the grand stand, and what is more strange the vehicle was going at such a rate as to prevent it overturning. The same night the bellman was sent round the town at Winterton to warn the parties that if the scene occurred again they would be prosecuted according to law.
