Captain Waller was in the chair, the other magistrates being the Hon. Edwin Ponsonby of Wootton; Captain Weyland of Bicester; Colonel Miller DSO of Shotover and Major Dodgson DSO of Wootton. Andrew Walsh appeared once again as the solicitor for the Bliss Company but the union had finally given up on poor Mr Lilley. Instead an Oxford solicitor, Mr George Mallam, appeared for the prosecution. Captain Waller explained, as he had in previous trials, that he had had a letter from the Mayor asking him to organise magistrates who were entirely unconnected with Chipping Norton and this was the reason for the unusual composition of the bench.

Lizzie was flung over to the grass on the right. Mallam opened for the prosecution and explained that Lizzie had been walking towards the Mill with some other pickets when James Hall came up behind her , and seizing her by the arms, threw her violently into the road and strode on without any explanation, and without warning her or saying anything at all. Everyone had been walking in a very orderly manner and there was plenty of room for James Hall to get past on either side. As a result of the attack, the number of pickets on duty the following day was increased and there had had to be a corresponding increase in the number of police on duty. There had been an appeal to the strike leaders for there to be no retaliation; the leaders had responded and there had been no retaliation. Instead, quite properly, James Hall had been brought before the magistrates. Start studying John Stuart Mill. Learn vocabulary, terms, and more with flashcards, games, and other study tools.

Tar Heel Junior Historian.Both solicitors produced plans of the Mill lane which were shown to the magistrates and both parties agreed on the location where the alleged assault took place. John Hieatt now continued and explained how he had told James Hall that it was an action no man would do to assault a defenceless girl. He then related the strange speech by one of the pickets who told James Hall to take off his Church of England Men’s Society cross and “Go to the Baptist or the Primitive Methodist chapel”. Captain Weyland, baffled by this, interjected: “What’s all this to do with the assault?”No- one answered this question and Mr. Mallam continued with his examination. John Hieatt confirmed that James Hall did not attempt to deny the assault. Mr. Walsh now cross- examined and established from John Hieatt how many pickets were in the lane and where they were standing. He then asked John Hieatt exactly what picket duty meant.“To use peaceful persuasion”, replied John, “To get those who are working to see our way of thinking, and to prevent any of our own people going back.”Mr. Hall to force his way through and then get the police to clear the road.“Do you know that by standing there in numbers of 2. Mr. Mallam objected: “My friend can hardly expect the witness to understand the law.”“I was brought up to believe that everybody ought to know the law.”, replied Mr. Walsh, “It is true that many of us do not, but we are supposed to, including solicitors.” (laughter). What right did John Hieatt have to be on the road? John Hieatt said he took it to be a public road to the gas works.“Were you going to the gas works?” he asked John Hieatt.“Then you will say I cannot stand in the street unless I am going anywhere” replied John.“That is correct.” Mr. Walsh had made his point, that the main legal right on a public highway is to “pass and re- pass” and anything else may not be lawful. Mr. Walsh now reminded John Hieatt that he had seen Mr. Hall speak to the police following which they dispersed the pickets. This must have indicated that the pickets had been obstructing the road and Mr. Hall had reported this fact to the police. John Hieatt replied that his impression was different: the defendant had committed a great blunder and to cover this up he had summoned the police. Mr Walsh now tried a different tack. The strikers had been anxious to get a case against Mr. Hall and this was a deliberate attempt to entrap him, on a day when neither the police superintendent nor the sergeant would be there. John Hieatt denied this. There had been no prior organisation, no meeting at The Fox the night before and he had no knowledge that there would only be a few police on duty that day. Lizzie Bradbury now took the stand and said she was walking towards the mill bridge, when Mr. Hall came behind her, and catching hold of her arms threw her across the road. He did not say anything to her before he did this. She was walking down the road but most of the pickets were standing against the railway fence with a few on the other side. The road was not obstructed and Mr. Hall had plenty of room to pass her on the left or right. It was an absolute lie to say it was a put- up job arranged the night before to entangle Mr. Hall did not hurt her, although she had a job to keep her feet. It upset her very much. Captain Waller intervened to confirm from Lizzie that it would have been possible for someone to pass between her and the pickets and that the path was wide enough for two to walk abreast. Mr. Walsh now began his questions.“What were you there for?”“On picket.”“Just tell me what you go for?”“To watch the workers go in.”“Did you want to speak to them?”“We wanted to see who went into the Mill.”“Have you not learnt that in the last four months?”“There might be fresh ones starting.”“Then you go down to prevent fresh ones going back if you can?”“Just to see who does go in and if there are any fresh ones we tell the other strikers.”Was there a lot of booing of the workers asked Mr. Was she the only one who did not boo enquired Mr. Walsh.“There may be others; I speak for myself” replied Lizzie. Mr. Walsh now asked if Lizzie had any ill- feeling against Mr. Walsh now returned to his previous line of questioning about who had been standing where.? Lizzie was now getting annoyed.“I was walking about.”“Be careful”, said Mr. Walsh, “Were you one of them originally?”“I may have been.” replied Lizzie“Answer my question?”“I am not deaf”.“Were you at one time in that line of strikers up against the fence?”“I may have been.”“Do you know whether you were or not? Come?”“Yes, at one time”Captain Waller interrupted: “Why did you not say so at once? Mr Walsh now questioned Lizzie as to whether there was a line of strikers on both sides of the road. Lizzie had already confirmed this in her initial remarks, but now stubbornly refused to answer.“It’s a very simple question” said Mr. Walsh.“I could not say.” replied Lizzie.“Why cannot you say?”Mr. Mallam objected to this question, but Captain Waller ruled against him. On this day that you were flung into the road. Lizzie deflected the question. She had not been flung into the road, but across it. Walsh continued his questions and established that some strikers were standing on the grass on the far side of the road and there was a gap of five or six feet between them and the strikers on the railway side. Walsh now moved on in his questioning to ascertain Lizzie’s actions. Hall was coming, but because “the road by the railings had always been cleared for the workers before”. You were not there for that purpose. About how far had you walked?”“About half- a- dozen yards.”“Where were you going?”“As far as the Mill bridge and back.”Under further questioning Lizzie explained that the people on the Mill bridge could not have seen the assault due to the curve in the road and the people standing on it. Walsh enquired whether the police had cleared the road following the assault.“They told them to go off, and some of them did and some of them did not, because they said they had a right to the road.”“Just the sort of spirit I should think would be shown” said Mr. Walsh.“Perfectly right, they had that right.” added Mr. Did Lizzie claim a right to stand on the road where she did? This was a question of law and he was making that claim on her behalf. She could not be expected to answer. Lizzie said the strikers had never been told it was a private road and they had the right to stand on any road if it was not private. Mr Walsh did not press the point. On the one hand it was a privately- owned road rented to the Bliss Company, on the other it was part of the common land to which the public had access. The legal position is still not clear in 2. The trial now took an interesting turn. Mallam picked up on an earlier point: “You have been asked whether Mr. Hall had any ill- feeling against you. Why do you think he has?”“Because he sent a message to me.”We have seen Captain Waller as the Tory magistrate and member of the establishment, searching for conspiracies in the Liberal government. Lizzie’s answer had alerted him to the fact that there was more to this assault than had been presented in evidence. Many young women from the Bliss Mill were on strike. Mr Hall would hardly sent messengers with personal communications to all of them. So why did Lizzie get one? Mr. Mallam continued: “What was the message?”Mr. Walsh objected but before the objection could be considered Captain Weyland interjected: “How do you know the message came from Mr. Hall?”“Because I should believe the person who brought it as much as Mr. Hall” replied Lizzie. Mr. Mallam asked for a ruling on. The objection was upheld and the contents of the message were not revealed. Mr. Mallam now established from Lizzie that the police ensured that a way was kept clear for workers to pass along the road and that the strikers co- operated with the police in this. Hall and had initially been unaware that John Hieattt had complained on her behalf. Mr. Walsh now came out with a direct accusation: “I submit that you stepped out into the middle of the path and that Mr.
