Note on Husband: Benjamin Attfield

BENJAMIN ATTFIELD, a man of most respectable appearance, a tallow chandler, residing in Lisson Grove, was indicted for having, on the 19th of April last, assaulted Harriet Shepherd, with an intent to violate her person.

Mr. Alley ... called Harriet Shepherd, a smartly dressed young girl, who stated that she was fourteen years of age, and had lived with the prisoner between seven and eight months as his servant. He was a married man, with three small children, and his wife lived with him. ... The prisoner lived at No.50 Lisson Grove ...

Mr. Phillips addressed the Jury for the defence, and contended that the prosecutrix's friends had preferred this charge against the defendant because the girl had been dismissed from his house.

Several respectable witnesses gave the defendant the highest character for morality and propriety of conduct. The Jury found him Not Guilty.

Morning Chronicle, 16.6.1827

 

BENJAMIN ATTFIELD - This insolvent, who held a public appointment in one of the government offices, applied under the Protection Act. Two creditors opposed in person, and Mr. Duncan supported. The insolvent has a salary of £97 per year. He had a family now off his hands and a sick wife to support. His debts were not large, and in the words of the commissioner, there was not an extravagant debt on the schedule. He offered to set aside £20 a year, and to insure his life for £150. The court named a day for the final order.
