On 16th November 1838, he and Constable James Feather were sent to Mankinholes to arrest
William Ingham who had refused to pay fines.
When the two Halifax lawmen reached Mankinholes with a horse and
cart, an alarm bell was rung, and crowds of angry men and women
hurried into the village.
The 2 constables were attacked by a mob of 2000 people.
A violent scene ensued: the horse and cart were overturned, with the
constable on the top.
The cart was then smashed and burnt.
The two men, after seeking refuge in the Overseer's house, were

an infuriated crowd who repeatedly assaulted them, until at last they
found shelter near Eastwood.
