STEALING CHEESE
William Chambers, labourer, and Sarah Elsbury were charged with stealing a certain quantity of cheese, the property of Mr. J. Nightingale, publican, Trumpington, on the 26th of May.
Mrs. Nightingale said: On Monday evening the male prisoner came into my house, and called for a pint of beer and one pennyworth of cheese. I served him with the beer. The female prisoner came in before I cut the cheese. The prisoners saw me put the cheese back in the cupboard in the taproom. I locked the cupboard door, but left the key in. I then went to the bar, pulling the taproom door to after me. The prisoners were left in the room alone. They both went out together soon after. I saw them leave the house. When I went to the cupboard for the cheese later on, I saw it was gone. No one else had been in the room since the prisoners had left. There was about 2lbs, of cheese, and it was worth 1s. 6d. That produced is mine, and is part of that I lost from the cupboard.
P.c. Everett said: On Monday night I received information of the loss of the cheese. On Tuesday morning in consequence of that and further information, I traced the prisoners to Harston. I found them in the Green Man Inn. I told them who I was, that some cheese had been stolen from a public house at Trumpington, and that they were suspected of having stolen it. The man said, "I don’t know anything about it." A large basket was standing between them. I asked the man if it was his property. He said, "Yes." I searched it, and found the two pieces of cheese which I now produce. The man said, "That’s my property: I bought it at Cambridge." I charged him with stealing it. He said, "You can’t do anything with me, because I am innocent." After a short pause, he said "I’m not answerable for what she has done. I am quite innocent myself." As I was conveying them along the road to Trumpington, the woman, who was the worse for drink, said, "I don’t care a - - - I have done nothing wrong myself, but I have seen him."
The male prisoner, upon being asked if he had anything to say, said the cheese was his own, and he had bought it at London.
They were each sentenced to one month’s imprisonment, with hard labour.

TRUMPINGTON, - On Sunday afternoon about 3.20 a fire, of a somewhat serious nature, broke out on the Rectory Farm, situate in the parish of Trumpington. The farm, which is the property of Trinity College, Cambridge, is in the occupation of Mr. Richard Holben, and it is supposed that the fire was accidently caused by a child, who was seen running away from the place upon the first appearance of a conflagration. . . .
Police-constable Everitt was on the spot immediately after hearing the cry of fire, and with the help of Sergt. Levitt and of police-constables Plum, Ding, Gray and Waters who arrived shortly afterwards, rendered some valuable assistance. It is estimated that the damage amounts to £1,000.

INDECENT ASSAULT AT TRUMPINGTON.
William John Marshall, late of Harston, was charged with having at Trumpington, on the 19th of June, indecently assaulted Eliza White.
The prosecutrix said: On Thursday last I went to Hunstanton by an excursion train. The train got back at 10:40 p.m. I started to walk home to Trumpington. When I had passed the stone bridge on the Trumpington road, I saw a man. I passed on and a short time afterwards I heard footsteps. I turned around and then I saw the prisoner running after me. I ran away. I got as far as Mr. Sayle’s carriage drive, when the defendant caught me up. He then caught hold of me and tried to throw me over. I shoved my hands into his neck and pushed him away. I called out murder, and two men named Marshall and Pauley came to my assistance. They took him away from me and I walked home. I scratched his face.
James Marshall said: I live in Trumpington and am a railway carman. On the 19th inst., I was at home. My children had been to Hunstanton: they got home a few minutes to eleven o’clock. I heard some screams, and cries of murder. I proceeded down the road in the direction of Cambridge. I found the prisoner with the prosecutrix trying to throw her down. As soon as he caught sight of us the prisoner ran away. A man names Pauley was with me. I caught the prisoner and took him to P.c. Everitt’s and gave him into custody.
P.c. Everitt deposed to taking the prisoner into custody and finding scratches upon his neck recently done.
The Bench convicted the prisoner of an aggravated assault and sentenced him to six calendar months imprisonment with hard labour.

GREAT FIRE AT TRUMPINGTON
Early on Sunday morning last, a most destructive fire broke out in the village of Trumpington, the property attacked being that of Mr. Wm. Infield, a farmer, who had resided in Trumpington for about three years, and whose notice to leave expires on the 20th of this month. The premises are situated on the main road from Cambridge to Shelford. The outbreak appears to have originated at the south-east of the yard. Who first discovered the fire is uncertain, but P.-s. G. Everitt, who is stationed at Trumpington, and whose house is very close to the farm, was one of the first to arrive upon the scene. He states that at 12.16 a.m., he was in bed. He heard cries of fire, and immediately looking out of his back window saw flames proceeding from a stack on Mr. Infield's farm. He instantly raised an alarm of fire, and lost no time in getting to the scene. When he arrived the fire had burst up and was spreading right and left. . . .
