and a news article for Samuel Catlow of Burnley:
Burnley Express (date unknown)
THE MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A WIFE AT BURNLEY.
Samuel Catlow, aged thirty-six, a Burnley weaver, who pleaded guilty on Tuesday to
wounding his wife, Sophia Catlow, with intent to murder her, at Burnley on June 30, was
brought up for sentence. His Lordship said prisoner had pleaded guilty to a most savage
and unprovoked attack upon the woman, whom above all others he was bound to cherish-his
wife. She had been separated from him on account of his cruelty, and he entered the house
where she was living apart obviously with the intention of murdering her. He endeavoured
to get quietly into her house while she was asleep, and he inflicted injuries which, had
she not protected her throat with her hands, would have proved fatal. But for medical
assistance probably her injuries would have been fatal. Prisoner did what he could to kill
the poor woman, and his crime was a very serious one, and one that must be punished very
severely. The sentence of the court was that prisoner be kept in hard labour for a period
of twenty years.
