History of Houghton

1841 farmer and cow leech James Inglett (94) was indicted at Huntingdon Assizes for the death of Elizabeth Harlett. Arsenic was involved and Inglett was found guilty of manslaughter. The judge decided that at his age, after six weeks imprisonment a sentence of 14 days imprisonment was enough. (A Grim Almanac of Cambridgeshire)
