Alledged Damage to Trees.
General Heath-Caldwell's Summons Fails.
Major General Heath-Caldwell, Linley Hall, was the prosecutor in a case at Sandbach Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, in which John McGaw, Tollgate, Linley, Alsager, was summoned for damaging trees to the amount of £3.
The case was adjounred at the last sessions owing to the absence of the Major-General.
Defendant pleaded not guilty.
The General apologised for his absence at the last court, and said that towards the end of February it was reported to him that branches had been cut off trees opposite the Alsager Gold Club. The trees were in a small stretch of wood, bordering McGaw's garden. MaGaw admitted that he had cut the wood, but could give no reasonable excuse for it, and refused to come down and look at the damage.
The General said there was nothing else for it but to summon him, and that he did not wish to do. All he wanted was to show that defendant could not destroy other people's property without reasaon. Twenty branches were cut, but the actual damage was difficult to estimate. No doubt defendant would get out of the wood sixty logs, and also some peasticks.
It was not because of the value that he issued the summons. Regarding defenant's application at the last court for expenses the General said it was a case of "tit for tat," because at the first court defendant kept him waiting two and a half hours, and then said he had not had sufficient notice, although he (the General) warned him three weeks previously.
Defendant: It is nineteen years since you came to Linley Hall? - The General : Yes.
And during the nineteen years you have been your own estate agent? - Yes.
As the branches of these trees extend over your fence into my field, don't you think it would have been AN ACT OF COURTESTY on your part to have informed me that you claimed the trees? - It is not my duty to tell you about my land.
It's my duty to know what's in my field? - Of course they are mine. His own landlord has admitted that the trees are my property. There is no question about it, and there never has been.
How long is it since the fence was put up? - I don't know.
Have you brought any deeds to show your title to the trees? - They would tell you, but they are shown on the plan.
Defendant: The plan is nothing; we want your deeds.
The General explained that he wrote to the defendant's landlord who said there was no question of the land not being his.
Defendant: These trees are in my field, and I don't rent under you.
Defendant produced a photograph of the trees and land, but the magistrates refused to see it, as it could not be proved by the photographer, who was not present.
The General said the trees were well inside his wood. One or two branches might have extended over the fence, but the branches which had been cut off did not affect defendant's field.
Defendant: The trees don't belong to him. I suggest that it is a misapprehension to say that I told you I cut the tree?
The General: I saw the branches in your garden, and you had a chopper in your hand.
Was it not pruning some apples trees: - You might have been.
Yoiu shouted something about who had cut your trees, and what did I answer? - I thought you were short in your remarks, but you said you had cut them.
Would it be an excessive statement to say that what had been cut off would not amount to half a bunch of peasticks? - Most certainly.
Have you ever asked me to cut trees for you? - Not that I am aware of.
The Clerk: It has nothing to do with the case.
Defendant: It's a bit of a grievance, this!
Jos. Higgins, woodman, in the employ of the General, spole to seeing defendant SITTING ON A BRANCH of an ash tree which he had evidently sawn off. Witness told him that the General would grumble when he was informed. The branches, said the witness, were not hanging over defendant's land. Those cut off were on the north and south side, and defendant's land was on the east side.
In evidence, defendant said he had never put a saw or anything else in a tree belonging to the General, and added "I come here today with clean hands and conscience. I have never touched the trees."
The Chairman announced that there was no evidence on which they could convict, and therefore the case would be dismissed.
Defendant: What about my costs?
The Chairman: You got an adjournment in the first instance on the ground that you wished to be legally represented, but you are not so represented. You brought the General here on that occasion, you came last time, and he was not here, so we will set one off against the other, and you get no costs.
Defendant began to argue, whereupon the Chairman told him to get out of the box.
