R. D. Gillman (Presiding) and H. Biggs, a one-legged man named George Thornton, who said he was a shoemaker, was brought up in custody charged with being drunk and disorderly, and doing wilful damage to windows at the Waggon and Horses Inn, on the previous night. – P.C. Hosey said he was called to the Waggon and Horses, and there saw the prisoner being held by two men outside the inn. He was drunk and using filthy language. He became disorderly and abusive when witness took hold of him, and he was obliged to call on the assistance of a young man. They put Thornton on his crutch, and carried him up the street. When near Wadworth’s Brewery he got down in the road and refused to move. They procured a pair of trunks, and having with some difficulty put him on, they proceeded towards the Police Station. In the market place he succeeded in getting off the trunks, and when they were putting him back he kicked witness and the other man several times. They were obliged to get someone to hold him down as he was “perfectly mad.” – Inspector Collins remarked that he was the worst fellow that they had had in custody for the last twelve months…’

Police.) nearly extremely fine (2) £800-£1,000 --- Importation Duty This lot is subject to importation duty of 5% on the hammer price unless exported outside the UK --- --- K.P.F.S.M. London Gazette 5 February 1946. The joint citation, with British Constables Nicholson and Hyde, states: ‘On Friday 27th December, 1945, a large number of Jewish terrorists armed with automatic weapons made an attack on Police HQ in Russian Compound, Jaffa Road, Jerusalem. In the course of the attack they destroyed an electricity distribution centre plunging the district around Police HQ into darkness. An enormous exchange of gunfire then occurred between police and the terrorists as they planted several bombs for the purpose of destroying the Police HQ building and killing as many police personnel as possible. British Constable Noel Nicholson, whilst engaging the attacking terrorists was killed in one of the resultant explosions. Assistant Superintendent Dennis Joseph Flanagan who was on his way to hospital in answer to an emergency call for a blood donor, hastened to the scene of action and armed with two revolvers entered the small lanes through which the attackers were likely to escape. After engaging a party of the terrorists he expended all ammunition from both revolvers and he was then shot and killed. As the terrorists escaped some ran into Zion Square located about 300 yards from the Police HQ. There British Constable Edward Hyde, who was off duty at the time, courageously engaged a group but was killed by overwhelming firepower of the offenders.’ Dennis Joseph Flanagan was born in Kilkenny, Ireland, in 1912. Serving as Assistant Superintendent in the Palestine Police, he was killed in action when a joint Irgun-Lehi force, led by Shraga Alis, launched an assault on the British Intelligence Offices in Jerusalem. Despite the British having instituted special security arrangements in the Russian Compound following a preliminary attack in March 1944, the Jewish underground fighters proved adept at evading British patrols and managed to enter the building. Setting charges, the subsequent explosion resulted in the deaths of seven British policemen with large numbers of casualties trapped beneath the rubble or injured by the blast. The enemy success was overshadowed by the death of Yvi Aharoni - fatally injured in the attack - and the wounding of Yaakov Granek, later known as ‘blond Dov’, both Lehi force members. It also corresponded with further attacks on British Intelligence offices in Jaffa and the army camp at the Exhibition Ground in north Tel Aviv; at the latter, a British soldier and Irgun fighter under the leadership of Amichai Paglin were killed during a particularly intense exchange of fire. Sold with extensive copied research.

A Great War ‘Western Front’ M.M. group of three awarded to Corporal J. C. Norcombe, Royal Engineers Military Medal, G.V.R. (510474 Cpl. J. C. Norcombe. R.E.); British War and Victory Medals (510474 Cpl. J. C. Norcombe. R.E.) mounted as worn, very fine (3) £200-£240 --- M.M. London Gazette 24 January 1919. John Charles Norcombe was born in Exeter in 1882 and is recorded in 1901 as working as a gas stoker for the Great Western Railway and living in Swindon. He served during the Great War with the Royal Engineers Transport and was awarded the Military Medal whilst attached to the 58th (London) Divisional Signal Company, Royal Engineers. Returned home to Exeter, he caught the attention of the North Devon Journal on 17 July 1924 when he was involved in a serious motor collision causing £23 7s. 6d. of damage: described by the plaintiff as a ‘rapid driver’, it was alleged that Norcombe lost control of his motor car on the descent of Fremington Hill and struck an oncoming bus. The resulting action in Barnstaple County Court later acquitted him of all charges, the bus company’s insinuation of recklessness and speed on the part of the defendant being somewhat undermined by virtue of his passenger - Police Constable F. J. Harvey of Exeter Police Force. Norcombe is later recorded as having died in Exeter in 1942.
