Thomas went to a ball in

Wakefield
Free Press, 24 February 1877: WAKEFIELD LICENSED VICTUALLERS ASSOCIATION BALL. A very
sucesful ball in connection with the above association took place on Wedcnesday
evening last, at the Music Saloon, Wood street, the room having been splendidly
decorated for the occasion. The company was a select and respectable one, and
everything passed off satisfactorily. The “beautification” at the saloon was
entrusted to Mr Robert Dodgson, upholsterer etc, Westgate, and to him the
greatest credit is due for the manner in which he carried out his engagement.
Never on any previous occasion have we seen at the interior of the building
look so well, and all present were delighted with the style in which Mr Dodgson
had executed his contract. The company was a select and varied one, and all
present seemed to greatly enjoy themselves. The plants in the passage were
supplied by Mr W L Skinner, of Silcoates, and as master of ceremonies, the
committee could not have selected a better done Mr W Leighton, or Bishop Biaz. The
secretaries also asserted themselves to make the ball prove a success, and we
are indebted to Mr. Roberts for the list of names which we publish as under: Mr
and Mrs Farndale (Smith’s Arms), Thoirnes lane, and Master T D Farndale

Wakefield and West Riding Herald, 16 January 1886: WAKEFIELD LICENSED VICTULLERS BALL. The annual ball promoted
by the Wakefield Licenced Victuallers Association was held on Wednesday night
at the town hall. There were only a limited number of tickets issued, the
reason of this being that on former occasions and especially last year, there
was such a large number of guests present that much
inconvenience was caused by overcrowding. This drawback was now avoided, as
there were only about 40 couples present, most of whom were connected with the trade.. The arrangements for the ball were made by a
committee consisting of... T Farndale... the arrangements of the committee were

It was probably this Thomas
Farndale who features in these articles regarding an attack on his dog at Kirk Hammerton, which is close to
Knaresborough, where he was married to previous year (I think the reference to
C Farndale is in error as he was later referred to as Thomas Farndale).

Nun Monkton, was charged by Inspector Lodge of Harrogate and District Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with the above offence on the 31st of May.
Mr Gilling appeared for the prosecution. Mr Gilling remarked that on the day
named, the defendant Hunter was passing through Kirk Hammerton in a trap, when a
retriever dog come up belonging to Mr Farndale and the defendant’s dog
commenced fighting. Both dogs were muzzled, and it was absolutely impossible
for them to bite each other. The defendant struck Farndale's dog on the head
with the butt end of a whipstock, causing the dog to bleed at the nose, and
rendering it senseless for some time. Thomas Farndale, Kirk Hammerton,
said he had a black retriever dog, which was muzzled, and had a collar round
its neck. In consequence of what was told him, he went to see his dog which he
found bleeding at the nose, and very quiet. Defendant’s dog did not appear to
have been bitten. George Wright, labourer, Kirk Hammerton, said he saw the
defendant whipping the dogs with a whip. Both dogs were securely muzzled. Then
he got out of out of the trap and commenced beating the dogs until they were
separated. He went and brought the dogs water. He was only 50 yards away at the
time. Eliza Bailes, housekeeper to Mr Farndale, said the dog left the house
securely muzzled. She was but 2 yards away at the time the dogs commenced
fighting, the defendant was in his trap and got out and separated them. After
they were parted he struck Farndale's dog on the head several times, and
knocked it senseless. Witness, cross examined by the defendant: “She
told him to be merciful. She called her dog away as well she could.” Emily
Anthony, a schoolmistress, said that after the dogs were separated the
defendant struck the complainant's dog twice. Eliza Bailers upon being recalled
said the defendant struck their dog after they were parted. The defendant’s dog
ran off. Defendant said he only used his whip to separate the dogs. Farndale's
dog was twice as big as his own, and was rough and uncultivated, and there
were lots of complaints about the dog. P C Whitaker said the dog seemed quiet.
He had not received any complaints about the dog. The chairman remarked that
the Bench considered that the defendant had lost his temper, and had got out of
the trap and hit the dog very hard, and he would be fined 1s and £1 2s 6d costs.
