As Richard Maile appears related to your Caleb, I've found the following articles in the local papers, which I hope are relevant and of interest.

District News, Ledbury.
Misconduct in Service.
On Wednesday last, Ann Seaborn, servant to Mr Richard Maile, of Putley, was charged before Capt Jones, with disobeying his orders, as also those of Mrs Maile, and refusing to perform her accustomed work. Mrs. Maile stated that the defendant came into her service on the 12th of June, and on the 13th July inst. she complained to the defendant that the cows were not properly milked, when defendant told her to milk them herself; she also refused to feed the pigs. Mr Maile corroborated his wife's statement. The defendant, in answer to the charge, said that the cows were never tied up; she had to milk them in the fold, where they caused her to move several times before she could finish milking one cow, but on that day she milked them twice over, although she was very unwell at the time, and Mr Maile cursed her and called her a " scamp," &c; she said she was not hired to feed the pigs. The magistrate told her she could not legally refuse obeying any order of her master or mistress, being a general servant in husbandry. Mrs Maile also said she was very " pert," and would retaliate with her tongue to the tune of ten words for one. In answer to a question, defendant said her friends resided at Winforton. The magistrate said that if the defendant had before been brought to this court upon a similar charge, he should then have considered it his duty to commit her to prison which he should be very sorry to do, but not hearing of any former complaint against her, he had come to the determination of discharging her from the service of complainant, and that the wages due to her for the time she had served should be forfeited.

ROSS
Murder of an Infant.
H. Underwood, Esq., coroner, held an inquest on Wednesday, at Weston Cross Inn, in the parish of Weston-under-Penyard, on the body of a female infant that had been found in a pool near to Kingston Court, Weston. Henry Hall, a lad in the employ of Mr. Henry Burgune, of Kingston Court farm, was the first witness called ; he said he was going by the pool on Tuesday morning, and observed a substance floating in the water, and informed Richard Maile of it. Richard Maile went to the pool in consequence of what the boy Hall had told him ; he got the substance out of the pool, which he found to be the body of a female infant. C. E. Thomson, Esq., surgeon, had made a post-mortem examination of the body by direction of the coroner; the child was at its full time; the body was much decomposed, the viscera of the chest and the abdomen were healthy ; the lungs floated in water; there was nothing in the viscera to account for death ; found a contusion above parietal bone; the skull was not fractured, but the injury on the head was sufficient to cause death; he had no doubt the child was born alive, and that death resulted from the blow. A verdict of ”Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown” was returned.

I see several Richard Mailes/Mayles in the FoD PRs but from earlier times. Unsure without further work, but a quick look at FamilySearch suggests the above articles relate to the following family groups;
