Notes:
| 20 Feb 1880 Licensed |
| 15 November 1881 Haynes calls and informs me that he has been out of gaol 3 weeks only. Was sent to prison for 18 months for stabbing a person. He is now living with his parents in Ladywood, Birmingham. Out of employment. |
| There are reports of this offence in various newspapers, including the Birmingham Daily Post Wednesday 14 July 1880 p.6 col.6: SERIOUS CHARGE 0F STABBING.- Joseph Haynes (19), Court, Sherborne Street, Ladywood, was charged with stabbing Joseph Barton. - The prosecutor, who is s tube-closer, living in a Court in Ward Street, Birmingham, said the prisoner and himself joined a gipsy party which left the Glasscutters' Arms, Hospital Street, on Monday, for Lapworth. On arrival at the latter place the party repaired to a public-house. After being there some time, and before the return journey was commenced, a disturbance ensued between him and the prisoner, during which he (prosecutor) was set upon by two or three other men. In the struggle the prisoner took a knife from one of the men, and stabbed him in the head with it. Later on Police-constable Godfrey met the prosecutor in Snow. Hill, saturated with blood. The officer took him to the General Hospital, where the wounds on the head - three in number - were dressed. The officer asked for the case to be sent to Henley-in-Arden, in which district the offence took place. The application was granted. |
| He was remanded, but the committal trial had to be adjourned, owing to the failure to appear of a doctor who had been summoned as a witness. |
