Acquittal in Cornwall jury case and child neglect debate
A Cornwall quarter sessions saw an acquittal after a juror hesitated to convict. The Ware union case followed with William Stringer charged for ill treating two children, the bench ordering restitution for clothing and meals and monitoring future care.
