My Great Grandfather was in a pub with his brother and their cousin. Being drunk, they were asked to leave by the landlord and all refused. So the police were called.
The police attempted to arrest my great grandfathers brother and in attempting to arrest him, my great grandfather and their cousin attempted to 'rescue' him, by throwing the officer to the ground and kicking him. All 3 were arrested and sentenced to 21 days hard labour in Littledean Gaol 1886.
