Details:
William Ledgerwood charged with imposing on A.W. Scott by telling him a false hood...A.W. Scott testified....The prisoner came to me the other morning to ask permission to take in some refreshments to a servant woman of Mr. Kemps to the watchhouse. I asked him what the woman was confined in the watch house for and what her conduct was. He replied that she had been quarrelling with a fellow servant who had been beating her and she had given herself up voluntarily. I again asked him if his statement was true mentioning the word drunkenness and if she was not put in for some crime. I asked him distinctly he again told me that she had not committed any crime, that she had given herself up making me believe that she had a charge to bring and therefore I gave him leave to take her the tea and sugar which I never allow to be don when a prisoner is there on a charge. Guilty. Sentenced to 14 days in the cells
