G'day Lovejoy..............

I haven't heard about about Bury stealing from Martin but Martin was owed money by Bury. Ellen Bury repaid it and Bury hit her when she did this.

From the Life of William H Bury Thread:

It appears that Ellen continued to work as a prostitute during her one-month engagement to Bury, as he had no money and wasn’t working at all. The couple were married at Bromley Parish Church on Easter Monday 2nd April 1888, (after Bury moved into Ellen’s lodgings at Mrs Elizabeth Haynes, 3 Swaton Road). This marriage was very convenient for Bury, as he had been sleeping in James Martin’s kitchen, or stables, until Martin dismissed him in March 1888, saying he brought in no money.
