Yesterday morning, a labourer named David Sparks, 62 years of age, was charged with indecently assaulting a ten year old coloured girl named Ada Hannah Knowles in Schofield-fold. The offence was committed on Monday night, after the child left work at the Fold Mill. The prisoner was remanded until this (Saturday) morning, bail being refused.
The Rawtenstall Local Board have decided - for the present, at any rate - not to erect an iron hospital or a permanent stone structure upon the land at the Ridge. Mr Rowland Rawlinson is to be treated with for the occupation of the house at Highfield as a temporary hospital. At present there are only three beds in the hospital. We are assured, however, that it will hold 'three more at a pinch'. Admitting this to be correct, the accommodation for a possible pandemic does not appear to be superabundant.
The Rawtenstall Local Board district - that is to say the borough - of Rawtenstall is to have a fire alarm bell. When erected it will surmount the central fire station, but it will not be tolled, we are told, until after the charter lands.
MISTAKEN IDENTITY - On Monday evening an effigy was burnt in the vicinity of Lumb, but unluckily its head fell off, and the 'bearers' becoming disgusted threw the carcass into the road. A well-known individual returning home rather later, happened to come across this object, and called out sympathetically " It's time up police to come up, that'll be locked up fool". He raised what he thought o be a drunken man, but ran off at full speed up the road when he found out it was without head.
A CORONER'S TREATMENT OF A CLOUGHFOLD JURYMAN.To The Editor of The Rossendale Free Press. SIR - If the Cloughfold juryman whose legal right to affirm was recently repudiated will communicate with me at once by letter, vouching the particulars of what transpired at the inquest at Cloughfold, I am promised that he matter shall be laid before theLord Chancellor.Will 'Atheist' therefore kindly send his name and address at once to the Editor of the Free Press, so that the same may be forwarded to me? Sincerely, J.H.T.
