Yorkshire Gazette 21 Aug 1841 and 12 Mar 1842:  William Huntley inherited property from his father, a farmer who died in 1821 or 1822, leaving an imperfect will which led to a Chancery case.  Huntley became a weaver, and “wrought at [George Farnaby’s] shop”; after his marriage [no record found] he moved to Eaglescliffe, but continued to visit his mother in Hutton, staying with Robert Goldsbrough when he did so.  Huntley finally came into the first instalment of his share on 22 Jul 1830, receiving from the Yarm solicitor William Garbutt the sum of £85 13s 4d;  he disappeared shortly afterwards.  Huntley was seen in company with Robert Goldsbrough and George Garbutt by James Maw, to whom Huntley said ‘Where has thou been thou caffey dog?’

Eleven years later a skeleton was found five or six miles from the place where Huntley was last seen, and it was believed locally that the body was that of Huntley.  Robert Goldsbrough, who had been popularly suspected of foul play in 1830, was tried for the murder but was acquitted.  Thomas Grundy, who was implicated in the matter and accused Goldsbrough of the deed, committed suicide in York Castle, and George Garbutt, who had been with Goldsbrough and Huntley when the latter was last seen by witnesses, had disappeared. 

William Huntley therefore appears to have been the son of Robert & Elizabeth Huntley, whose children according to the IGI were John 1802 and William 1804 (b Kirby), Robert 1809 and Solomon 1811 (b Ingleby Arncliffe) and Ann 1814 (b Hutton Rudby).  John, Solomon and Ann are all buried at Hutton Rudby.  Robert Huntley aged 50 was buried at Hutton Rudby on 17 Jul 1818.  A Robert Huntley married Elizabeth Carter in 1801 in Long Newton; an Elizabeth Huntley is buried there in 1841.

William Huntley was described by his solicitor as having “a large head and a projecting tooth from the left underjaw;  very low between the eyes;  very long behind in the head;  his head sloped particularly from the forehead.” [Yorkshire Gazette 12 Mar 1842]

Hutton Rudby Association for the Prosecution of Felons

40 members, mainly farmers.  Established 1835, annual cost per member 2/- to 2/6d for protection of person and property, by paying for informers and prosecutions.  At its annual dinner at the Wheatsheaf in 1841 it was claimed that no felony had been committed in the eight townships during the previous 2 ½ years.  [Yorkshire Gazette 16.1.1841].  Thereafter nothing known of it, other than the fact that it still existed in Feb 1843 when it was mentioned in the Cleveland Repertory and Stokesley Advertiser. [Hastings:  Local Govt & Socy]

Cleveland Repertory & Stokesley Advertiser:  1 Feb 1843:
 “Police Intelligence”:  January 28th.  Before Sir Wm Foulis, Bart. and R Hildyard, Esq. William Carter of Hutton Rudby, weaver, for having on the 7th ult. committed a trespass on the farm and lands in the occupation of Leonard Appleton in search of game.  Fined £2 and costs.

Cleveland Repertory & Stokesley Advertiser:  1 Feb 1843:
“Hutton Rudby”:  The annual meeting of the Hutton Rudby Association for the Prosecution of Felons, was held I the National school room, on the 2nd of last month, which was numerously attended by its members.  Mr Righton, of Rudby, was unanimously elected treasurer, in the place of the late Mr Harrison Terry;  and Mr Jackson, solicitor.  The treasurer’s accounts were audited and passed, and several new members were proposed and admitted.
This Association was established in the year 1835:  it includes the townships of Hutton, Rudby, Sexhow, Skutterskelfe, Crathorne, and Potto.
“Hutton Rudby and Enterpen
Far more rogues than honest men.”
Some of our readers will recollect that this saying was proverbial to Hutton and the little village of Enterpen, which is a part of the town.  But a few years back these places were infested by a set of theives, and, it is to be feared, murderers were amongst their inhabitants.  Now crime is rarely heard of, and this in a great measure may be attributed to the active exertions of the Association in detecting and bringing to justice the delinquents.
An excellent dinner was provided at the Wheat Sheaf Inn, by Mrs Rayney.  It was pleasing to notice the good feeling and conviviality which existed among a company of as loyal, true-hearted, and substantial farmers as our country can boast of:  men of the old school, and who remind us of the lines,
“When Adam delved and Eve span,
Who was then the gentleman?”
