    • Northampton Mercury, England, Saturday, 9 December 1843
      An Ill-Behaved Tunrpike Man

      Mr. Joel Bass, Stagsden, preferred a complaint against Thomas Page, the toll collector at the Roxton gate, for obstructing him, and preventing him passing through the gate. It appears that Mr. Bass had driven through in a gig on the 14th ult., and paid the usual toll to the defendant. He returned the same night after ten o?clock, and the defendant again demanded the toll, asserting that it was past 12. Mr. Bass pulled out his watch, and showed him that it was only 20 minutes after 10. The defendant however, became very abusive, and challenged to fight Mr. Bass. Defendant?s wife called out of window to him to let the gentlemen go through, for they were right. He, however, seized the horse?s head. Mr. Bass then jumped out and collared him, and forced him away from the horse. The defendant renewed his abuse, and until until after a considerable hindrance did he allow the gig to pass. Defendant acknowledged his fault; he said he was mistaken in the hour. Convicted: penaly £1, costs 11s. 6 d.
