Raid on Farmhouse near Leek: Isaac Wain

It is Friday again, when I share something that I have found whilst looking for records, that is interesting or adds information to our family tree.

Found in the Staffordshire Sentinel 11 March 1914, page 5.

Isaac Wain is my 2nd great grandfather and at the time of the incident, his wife would have been Mary Broadhurst, who was in fact his fourth wife. Leek was granted the right to hold a weekly Wednesday market by King John in 1207. As you will see in the article, the offence was committed on 25th February 1914 and I can confirm that this was a Wednesday.

The transcription reads:
RAID ON FARMHOUSE NEAR LEEK
Two "men of the road," John Thomas Hulme and Edwin Rose, were charged at the Leek Police Court with breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Isaac Wain, Lockgate Farm, Leekfrith, on February 25th, and stealing a shirt and a quantity of food of the total value of 4s. 6d.
The farmer and his wife it was stated, attended Leek Market, having locked up the house, and on their return they found the door unfastened and the house in disorder. They had passed prisoners on the way to Leek in the morning, and P.C. Taylor going in pursuit, overtook Hulme on the road to Macclesfield.
Both prisoners were committed for trial at Quarter Sessions in April.

What happened next? Come back next week and all will be revealed.
