     ASSAULT.
Edgar Wm. Shambler summoned
Harold Bennett for assault. Mr. F.
I. Power (Power and Pack) appeared
for the complainant and Mr. F. B.
Sykes for defendant. Plaintiff, who is
assistant in Messrs. Newbery and
Shambler's, gave evidence, to the
effect that in consequence of a tele-
phono message, he went over to see
defendant at the Council Chambers,
and as result of some words over, a
letter he had sent to the defendant
as secretary of the Hoxton Tennis
Club, defendant struck him near the
ear, and knocked the bottom plate
out of his mouth. Defendant, after
knocking him down, told him he was
sorry for what he had done, and
bathed his eye and did all he could.
Maud Bull and Emma Bull deposed
to seeing defendant strike complain-
ant.
Defendant, who is Assistant Rate
Collector, stated he left Gympie on
June 3 and returned to Gympie on
June 19, and on Monday 20th he re-
ceived a letter from plaintiff. He saw
plaintiff in the lobby of the Town
Hall, and asked for an explanation
of the Letter, which defendant refused
to give. After further words, when
plaintiff called him a liar, he struck
him. They then had a fight, which
defendant got the best of. He filled a
basin for plaintiff to wash his face
and got him a towel.
The Bench held that the assault
was unwarranted, and fined defend-
ant £1, with £3 3s. 8d. costs.⁶

     As my research into this family progressed, I was constantly coming across information that was either contradicting other people's research or was, in my opinion, incorrectly transcribed or interpreted.
To satisfy my own thoughts, I have re-researched all of the information that I had previously gathered for this family and together with new 'facts' found in this latest endeavour, I believe that what I now have is a true and correct statement of the history of the four/five people who are the ones mainly involved here:
Aaron Bull; Ellen Wall; Dinah Hall and John Beaumont Sweet/Mary Hall.

In the course of my research, I have expanded some families with information from Births; Baptisms; Marriages; Deaths and Burials, Census Returns, Passenger Lists, Newspaper Articles etc. to verify my findings.
     
---------- 0 ----------

Aaron Bull was the first person in this quest that I had originally entered some 10 years ago and I discovered very early on that his recorded information was a little more complicated than that of nearly everyone else.
The name – Aaron Bull is Registered on only 3 Birth occasions, on 2 Marriages and 3 Deaths between the commencement of BMD entries in 1837 and 1966. 2 of the Births have highly probable Registered Deaths, making the 1 remaining Marriage Registration in 1858 ‘fit’ well with the age of ‘our’ Aaron Bull in subsequent Census Entries. It has to be understood that NOT every Birth was Registered and this is so in the case of ‘our’ Aaron, but we do have a Baptism.
The details of the Marriage of Aaron Bull to Ellen Wall have been transcribed from a Copy of the Marriage Certificate and therefore is established as a good Source.
In the 1861 UK Census Aaron is listed at 3 places, in the first one he is listed with his wife and son and confirms his Occupation.
Ellen and her husband Aaron appear to have been in the Bradford/Leeds area from about 1864 onwards and from my research, it may never be known which marriage broke up first, but Aaron fathered a child by a married lady, Dinah Shutt, in the early part of 1865, the child's Birth being registered in Wakefield. Ellen and their 3 children left to go to Australia in March 1866.

Aaron continued to live with his 'wife' Dinah, in Bradford in 1871 and in Bolsover in 1881, before together going to Ireland where they both lived, Dinah died in 1905, Aaron married again in 1912 to a Mary Russell, he died in Co. Kildare, Ireland in 1915.
John Sweet's last recorded address prior to his leaving England was in NW Leeds.
It is however also possible that John Beaumont sweet and Ellen Bull may have met and planned their emigration in England. John and Ellen (and her 3 children) travelled on the same vessel from England to Brisbane, Queensland and may have met for the first time on the voyage. They arrived at Brisbane on 26 June 1866.
It should be noted that the registered details for their Marriage on 4 August 1866 and show that the Participants were John Beaumont Sweet and Ellen WALL.
John and Ellen had 5 children between 1870 and 1877 and for reasons not yet established they returned to England in early 1878. The family was Enumerated in the 1881 Census in Nottingham including Emma Bull, a daughter of her marriage to Aaron Bull.
     Ellen Sweet is next recorded in the 1891 Census in Nottingham as the Head of the Household and a Widow and again in 1901, this time with Emma (who now has the surname of Sweet), her son Charles and Maud. Both daughters are self-employed Dressmakers. (Both Emma and Maud Mary return to Queensland, probably after their mother’s Death, where they live for over 30 years and continue as self-employed Dress Makers).
Ellen Sweet died in Nottingham in 1906. No record of the Death of her husband John has been located in England between the time of the 1881 Census and Ellen’s Death in early 1906.

     Further research for John Beaumont Sweet shows that only 2 occurrences of the name appear when using a Google search. The Canadian one can be discounted as it is much later than the one I was looking for, leaving a John Beaumont Sweet, Born c1845 in Hunslet, Leeds, Yorkshire. Importantly in all of the records he is consistently shown as of ‘Hunslet’ and his age is also correct.
He ‘marries’ in Mansfield in Nottinghamshire in May 1883 to a Mary Hall.
Interestingly John and Ellen are listed in the 1891 Census in Nottingham living less than 3 miles apart. In 1881 he is employed as a Corn & Flour Broker and as a Flour Seller in 1891.
In 1901 he has gone North with his wife, now known as Marie, to a district of Sheffield, he is ‘Living on Own Means’ and Marie operating a ‘Registry for Servants’. They are next recorded in 1911 in Cherry Street in the city of Birmingham where they are ‘Caretaker of Offices’, they have been married for 27 years and have had no children.
     His death was Registered in the Birmingham South Register Office in 1926 at the age of 81 years, which finally confirms his year of birth as c1845. I have not found any Probate record for his Estate.

This Anecdote has been written in an attempt to alert other researchers of these families to the diverse ‘facts’ which now are probably very close to the truth…
