Old Shop in Old Portsmouth
There is a little general dealer’s shop in Highbury Street, where John Pounds used to buy the candles to illuminate his humble Lilliputian home along the same ancient thoroughfare.
This is one of the memoires the present proprietor of the shop likes occasionally to dwell on. Another is ; that the shop has been in the family just 103 years today.
Mrs Lydia Andrews, the present owner, is of the third generation. Her grandfather, John Leggett, started the business in 1830, a period, it may be remarked in passing, that saw Highbury Street in a much more important role than it is today. After John Leggett came John James Trueman, Mrs Andrews’ father, and then the present proprietor who has been there all her life, and is now 64 years old.
Mrs Andrews’ grandmother was one of John Pounds scholars, and her mother’s first husband, she was twice married, was in the Crimean War, and his wife wife was left a widow with three children under 19 years.
The shop is estimated to be over 300 years old. Another famous edifice alng the same street is the house in which Lord Howe of the “Glorious First of June” memory resided.
Times are not grand but Mrs Andrews carries on. “We manage to keep going,” she declared, “ but it’s a struggle. Still, I suppose it is for everybody these days. I don’t owe a penny, and that’s something.”
Few visitors pass along the street without an interested survey of this little old fashioned shop, which is so much in keeping with an old fashioned street in an old fashioned quarter

James Ryan, 28, was charged on remand at the Portsmouth Police Court, yesterday afternoon, with feloniously wounding Mary Ann Moss, with intent to kill, on the 29th ult.. Mr B Kent prosecuted.
Prosecutrix, a single woman, deposed that she had known the prisoner about ten months, and they had been living together up to September last at 21 Highbury Street. Prisoner then went to Southampton with the intention of going to sea. He cam back on the 28th November and they went out together, returning about eleven o’clock. They had been drinking, and took a pint of whiskey home, after drinking which, they went to bed. Next morning they had more drink together, and prisoner gave her £1 to get something for breakfast. She was gone some time, and the prisoner came to meet her, and when they got indoors demanded the money back. When she refused to give it to him he knocked her down and kicked her repeatedly. She managed to get upi, and went upstairs, but the prisoner followed her and struck her several times over the head with a heavy iron shovel, which broke on her head, and he then knocked her down and kicked her severely about the body. She struggled to her feet, opened the window and called for help. Then she went downstairs, and the prisoner struck her in the face with handle of the shovel, cutting her lip through. All her clothes were torn off in the struggle, which lasted nearly an hour. If the Police had not come, she would have been killed.
Doctor Morley, Assistant House-Surgeon at the hospital, deposed that when admitted to that institution prosecutrix was in a dreadful state, the whole of her face being swollen and bruised, with cuts on the right cheek and chin, ans a cut right through the upper lip. There was a severe scalp wound upwards of three inches long on the top of the head, besides six or seven smaller wounds ; three of he rribs on the left side were broken, and the whole of her back was bruised and swollen. A fall of kicks would fracture the ribs, but the kicks must have been very violent. Prosecutrix had been in bed ever since, and was by no means recovered yet.
It now being five o’clock, and, as there were five witnesses yet to call, the case was adjourned to Friday next.
