Following Charles's report to the fortnighly Sanitary Authority meeting regarding washing of turnips by Mr Snaydon in Maiden Newton's stream and its proxmity to cattle that might foul it and its use as a supply by the locals Mr Snaydon wrote a letter published in the Bridport News on 24 February in which he disputed Charles's account stating that the water supply to his cottages is from a separate supply which is conveyed underground and that Charles should get his facts correct and not rely on local gossip. At the 9 March meeting of the Board of Guardians the matter of Mr Snaydon's letter was brought up. Charles maintained that there were several cottages just below where the turnips were washed but agreed that the work Mr Snaydon proposed would allay his fears. When Mr Snaydon joined the meeting Charles pointed out that he was not happy with his truthfulness being questioned upon which heated exchanges regarding the truthfulness of each of their statements followed.

He had only claimed £2 2s, in 1889, since his appointment as surveyor in 1885. Mr Snaydon objected to the £3 3s element for the Corscombe work. The Vice-Chairman said that Corscombe had been causing the Guardians a great deal of trouble and that is Charles had not taken on the survey work in addition to the Inspector's work they would have to hire a specialist. He proposed that other than the Beaminster work Charles should be paid the amount claimed. This was counter-proposed by Mr Snaydon but he was unable to get a seconder. He advertised for walling masons in the Taunton Courier on 12 June 1895. On 2 August 1895 Ernest Gale a mason working for C&A Hann working on the roof of Brook Lodge, Beaminster injured his back when the ladder supporting him came loose and fell down.

He had intended to sell it to general dealer Richard Day but was apprehended in the act of stealing by PC Kellaway whom Charles had told of his suspicions. Turner peaded guilty and because of his previous clean record was fined £1 to be paid within a week or face 14 days imprisonment. At the Beaminster Board of Guardians meeting of 26 November 1896 he was supposed to present an estimate for the detention of vagrants at the workhouse for two nights.

According to a report in the 23 May 1924 Portsmouth Evening News and 30 May 1924 Western Gazette of an inquest held into the death in the River Thames of Mrs Dorothy Noel Smail aged 23 at Hampton, Greater London. According to evidence given by her husband Alexander Smail he and some friends had left the Karsino on Tagg's Island just before midnight and he had driven his car across the ferry at Hampton Court when it rolled into the river having been inadvertantly put in reverse gear and water started coming in the window. Albert Percy (as Tommy Hann) said that the back of the car had dropped and it then sank in a vertical position until it reached the bottom when he managed to get out through a door. He thought that the others had escaped. Oliver Bellingham-Smith another occupant of the car had dived into the car and came out of the opposite window but saw nobody but it appears that, despite his diving into the water for over an hour in an attempt to find her. The car was raised clear of the water five hours later following the sluice gates being opened by Molesey lock-keeper to lower the water level and the help of 14 other police and bystanders using special tackle provided by Frank Hucks (brother of Capt. Bentfield Hucks an aviation pioneer and Royal Flying Corps pilot). A policeman and boatman were then able to recover Mrs Smail's body from inside the car. She had died from shock, rather than drowning. According to a report in the Western Morning News Mrs Smail came from Esher and the accident occurred on 22 May and a Miss Binnie Gollan was also in the car. (Alexander Smail was the son of an East India merchant, Oliver Bellingham-Smith worked for Talbot Cars and was cousin to Anthony Bellingham-Smith who drove Tommy's cars.

In the 7 Aug 1926 edition of the Hastings and St Leonards Observer there is mention of a court case at Hastings Petty Sessions on 29 July1926 in which reference is made to a Thomas Hann, retired Lieutenant Royal Navy, who is almost certainly Albert Percy. At the time his address was both 16 Eagle Road, Rye and the yacht 'Freedom' on the river at Rye. He also had another yacht. The case involved was the alleged obtaining by false pretences of £100-worth of Polish and English oak by Herbert Ainley Payne from the South Coast Timber Company od St Leonards. The defendant sold Tommy seven boards (to make a table and some chairs) from the three lorry-loads he had been granted permission to store in a shed Tommy rented to store his gear. When confronted he alleged that Tommy had ordered all of the wood to convert trawlers into yachts and had (forged) signed orders and receipts signed F Hann RN to substantiate his claim. As the time to pay for the wood had not been reached this original charge was dropped but the defendant was instead committed for trial on a charge of forgery. In Dec 1932 (according to an article in MotorSport magazine) he lived in a Devon fishing village with his dog and cat aboard a ketch called 'Little Leonard'. In the interview he stated that he was more interested in using Brooklands and its track for the development of motor cars and their components than the 'fun' of racing.

[Whitney Straight in his Duesenberg set the lap record of 138.15 mph for this class on 13 Oct 1934] He died on 12 April 1935 at Lady Mildred Williams's house, Holland Park Avenue 72, Notting Hill, Greater London, at age 45; by asphyxia due to coal gas poisoning - suicide.
