Mr G S Sowter, of Brigg, appeared for the complainant. Mrs Dixon stated that on the date named the defendant took hold of her by the nose, slapped her in the face, and pulled her out of the down the passage to the yard, and then pulled her back again, and that, in consequence of the defendants behaviour, they had occupied separate bedrooms for five months. The defendant threatened to kill someone, if he hung on Lincoln gallows for it. She had lodged away from home since the 7th inst. She was still afraid that he would injure her, as he had guns, poison, and big sticks in the house.
Wreckage is general in field, garden and orchard.
Many farmers have day after day held back from beginning harvest in hope of more settled weather until oats have become thrashed out by the wind to a serious extent, and much of the barley has necked. The bells were silent.
