On Tuesday 1st August 1882, landlord Benjamin Farrow was charged with committing a violent assault on his wife on 25th July. Mrs Farrow sought to withdraw the charge since Mr Farrow had promised her that he would not ill-treat her again. The Bench however decided to hear the case since they were aware that this was the seventh time she had been ill-used.
Mr Farrow was fined £2 and costs of 17s 6d costs with a caution to his future conduct and a warning that a repeat offence would probably result in a sentence of six months.
