1879
Star of Gwent. 12th May, 1879 Mr. Dugmore of the Market Boat Inn, Stow Hill, was charged with being
drunk and disorderly on Stow Hill. P.C. Pike proved that the prisoner
was outside the Market Boat beer house on Saturday night kicking at the
door, he said he wanted some words with his wife. The prisoner said he
was getting away from his wife and was going quietly to his lodgings;
he denied he was drunk. Inspector Williams said he was very drunk when
brought to the station. The Bench fined the prisoner ten shillings and
the costs or fourteen days imprisonment. Mrs. Dugmore applied that her
husband be bound over to keep the peace, as she was afraid of her life.
In reply to her husband Mrs. Dugmore said he gave her a couple of black
eyes last Christmas, and on Saturday night he threatened her. The Magistrates
bound the prisoner over to keep the peace for six months. [ Back ] |
