Keith Newton :-)

The prisoners were father and son, Pattison was a pit worker. They were charged with feloniously wounding James Steel, a blacksmith. It was a very violent assault with 10 wounds inflicted on the victim's head some down to the skull.

Newcastle Courant 29 June 1877

There is also an article Newcastle Courant 25 March 1870 with the same 2 names mentioned.

They were charged along with William England and William Robson, pitmen of Walbottle, with 'trespassing in pursuit of conies' on land belonging to the Duke of Northumberland.
The case was dismissed as they were found to have permission to be on the land by the tenant farmer but they did not have permission to be in the woods.

Most probably this family? Both coal miners.
