Joseph Nayland 1872-1899:

The Incorrigible Rogue who died during a bet for pint of beer.

 At 19-year-old Joseph, was 5ft 7 ¼ inches tall, 126 pounds, with a 32-inch chest, brown eyes and dark brown hair. He worked as a railway navvy until he joined the 65^th & 84^th York and Lancaster Regiment on the 2^nd of December 1891, his army career would not last long. On the 8^th of January 1892, he went absent without leave. Returned to duty on the 28^th of January 1892, after being convicted of desertion.

 He was discharged on the 28^th of April 1893, for being incorrigible, and for having been convicted by civil power of a felony.

 September 1897 he was fined 20s., and costs, for having assaulted Police-constable Dobbs, in Primrose Hill, and 5s., and costs for having been drunk. In addition to kicking the constable, he had thrown a paraffin lamp at his mother, pushed a boy against the fire grate of his mother's house, because she (his mother) would not give him money, knocked his sister down, and used filthy language.

 November 1897 Smash and Grab: Stole six mince pies, value 6d., from the shop window of Erasmus Orwin, of Frederick Street. Arrested by Inspector Powell, while eating one of the pies.
 The Chief Constable stated that Noyland had only been released from prison the day before, and said, he had been in trouble five times since July. Noyland had said, he was not drunk. He had only to wink at a bobby and he would say he was drunk. He also expressed a wish that he might be sent back again to Prison. Fined 10s., and costs. It would be very unlikely that Noyland could pay his fines, and he would do prison time instead.

 Joseph Noyland died on Monday the 31^st of July 1899, after a bet for a pint of beer, his burial was held on the 4^th of August 1899, at Masbrough Cemetery, in Yorkshire.

 

 Monday the 31^st of July 1899, Benjamin Pugh and Joseph Nayland, two mid-twenties tear-away, were out having a few beers, when Nayland made a wager for a pint of beer to swim across the canal.

Both Pugh and Nayland entered the canal at Rotherham in Yorkshire to begin the race. A police constable called out to them, asking them to come out of the water. Nayland responded, “come and get me.” Moments later, Nayland disappeared underwater; the constable tried to rescue him but was too late—Nayland had drowned. Before jumping in, the constable handed his coat, belt, and watch to a bystander. The watch was never seen again, at least not by the constable.
