Statement of John Huckle accused of riot at Biggleswade.

7 September 1833

From: 1833 To: 1833

On the evening of the riot he had been returning from work at Caledcot and on his direct way home had reason to pass by Mr Sutton’s house, the butcher, but on the opposite side of the way. Francis Sale came up to him and asked him to swear that he, John Huckle, had seen James Woodward throw a stone at the said Francis Sale. John Huckle refused to do so and Francis Sale threatened to ‘fix him’. John Huckle swears that as he was passing quietly up the street. He intended to call his wife Mary and John Albone as witnesses.
