Notes:

20 Feb 1880 Licensed

15 November 1881 Haynes calls and informs me that he has been out of gaol 3 weeks only. Was sent to prison for 18 months for stabbing a person. He is now living with his parents in Ladywood, Birmingham. Out of employment.

There are reports of this offence in various newspapers, including the Birmingham Daily Post Wednesday 14 July 1880 p.6 col.6: SERIOUS CHARGE 0F STABBING.- Joseph Haynes (19), Court, Sherborne Street, Ladywood, was charged with stabbing Joseph Barton. - The prosecutor, who is s tube-closer, living in a Court in Ward Street, Birmingham, said the prisoner and himself joined a gipsy party which left the Glasscutters' Arms, Hospital Street, on Monday, for Lapworth. On arrival at the latter place the party repaired to a public-house. After being there some time, and before the return journey was commenced, a disturbance ensued between him and the prisoner, during which he (prosecutor) was set upon by two or three other men. In the struggle the prisoner took a knife from one of the men, and stabbed him in the head with it. Later on Police-constable Godfrey met the prosecutor in Snow. Hill, saturated with blood. The officer took him to the General Hospital, where the wounds on the head - three in number - were dressed. The officer asked for the case to be sent to Henley-in-Arden, in which district the offence took place. The application was granted.

He was remanded, but the committal trial had to be adjourned, owing to the failure to appear of a doctor who had been summoned as a witness.
