'James Wilson, a wheelwright of late of Birkenhead, was charged by PC George Murry with being drunk and concealed in a pigsty on the premises of Mrs Parry, at Heswall Hill at one o’clock on Sunday morning of the 13th. It appeared at the above hour of the morning the constable saw a woman and two men on the hill. The men ran away and the constable then went down the dale to the Parry’s house and found the prisoner in the pigsty. He told a very rambling tale to the constable about not knowing how he got into bed with the grunter, for there was a pig in the sty. As the constable did not know whether the prisoner meant to elope with his bedfellow or not, to make all right he locked him up and so saved the bacon. Ordered to pay two shillings and costs.” Almost made my book, but not quite. :-)
