Trial of the Marquis of Waterford, and Others, for a Riot at Melton Mowbray
A description of the trial of Henry de La Poer Beresford (3rd Marquess of Waterford). After drinking heavily at Croxton Park Races, he and his fox-hunting friends arrived at a toll-gate in Melton Mowbray in the early hours of 6th April 1837. When the tollkeeper asked to be paid before opening the gate, the men seized paint and equipment that had been left out during repair work. They painted the tollkeeper, a constable and the tollhouse red before rampaging through the town. They were tried at Derby Assize Court in July 1838, where they were found not guilty of rioting but were each fined £100 for common assault.
