Just sent you a screen shot of news report from Manchester Times 7th June 1890 re the event, and 'scuttling gangs'. Looks like it was street gangs. News report confirms he was 18 yr old factory operative, as ErikaH said earlier. You might find it easier to read the sentences some of the co accused got. They seem to name two different groups involved in the incident, Shaw is in the second group.

Tried to send you a screen shot, not very good as on my tablet. Part of a group of men accused of unlawfully wounding a Peter Moffatt and disturbing the peace. Some were discharged, others not.

Edit Glad the screen shot got through! :-)

Hi,

Is anyone free to view a search/record on Ancestry for me please? Its a record titled
England and Wales Criminal Register - 1791-1892
William Henry Shaw - Date of trial 5th June 1890
Lancashire, England.
Sentence - Acquittal.

I believe this may be for my great grandfather. William Henry Shaw born 1866-1871 Salford, Manchester. His father was a John Edward Shaw. I would really love to be able to view this or see the details of it.

Many thanks Sarah
