Many of the male minority convicted were co-accused with their wife. Helen, wife of Peter Bradwall  scolded Hugh Welesson and Isabel, his wife , in Middlewichin 1434 , calling Isabel a "child murderer" and Hugh a "skallet [wretched] knave". Isabel and Hugh also scolded Helen, calling her a "lesyng blebberer" (lying bletherer). All parties were fined for the offences—Hugh and Isabel: jointly. Like women, male scolds were often accused of many other offences, such as fornication, theft, illegal trading, and assault.
