From The Warminster Herald, Saturday 9th August 1873:
Samuel Humphries, chimney sweep, was fined 10s. and 7s. 6d. costs for having been unlawfully drunk, in Pound Street, on 7th July. P.C. Poolman deposed to having found the accused between 9 and 10 o’clock at night creating a great public disturbance. He was very drunk, and made use of most impious language. Accused admitted he had had a little beer, but said he was not drunk, and his son had behaved badly towards him and made him excited.
