While searching the Welsh Newspapers website for Benjamin Hulin b1881 of Clearwell, instead I found this entry regarding Colin Hulin (an uncle perhaps?) in the same locality a few years earlier. It seems the Hulins were an unlucky family !

From the Cardiff Times of 17th February 1877

"FOREST OF DEAN.
...Sessions....at Coleford on Tuesday—before Sir James Campbell, Bart..., and Isiah Trotter — two young men of Clearwell, named Williams and Yarworth, were brought up on remand, charged with assaulting Colin Hulin, of St Briavels on the 7th instant. Mr Evans, of Chepstow, appeared to prosecute, and Mr Jackson for the defendants. It appeared from the evidence of complainant, that on the day named he was at the Wyndham Arms, Clearwell, when he saw the two prisoners and others. A conversation took place on coursing, when Williams challenged to fight him. On leaving the house, and on getting to his trap for the purpose of proceeding home, Williams gave him a seyere blow in the eye, which knocked him down in the road. Williams knocked him down four times in all, and Yarworth kicked him. His shoulder was putout, and he was otherwise injured about his body. In cross-examination complainant admitted offering to fight Williams for 10s on Bearse Common, but not till he was very much provoked. Several witnesses were called. The bench discharged Yarworth, but fined Williams in the penalty of £5 and costs."
