EPITOME OF SUFFOLK NEWS ....On Wednesday last, an accident which might have proved very serous, occurred at Gosbeck Rectory. Mr A. ATTWOOD, the son of the Rector, was skating and pushing before him on a chair, a young lady (Miss A. TODD), when on passing over a part which had been broken, the ice gave way and both were precipitated into the water. Fortunately their screams brought immediate assistance, and the lady's crinoline prevented her sinking, so that they were rescued from their cold bath without any serious consequences.

The applicant stated that she was married to her husband in 1857, and lived with him at Stoke and afterwards at Thornham, until 30th July 1861, when he gave his father a bill of sale and went away, and she had neither seen nor heard anything of him since.After he went away the furniture and everything, except 3 Pounds, was seized and sold under the bill of sale. Her married life had not been a happy one, as her husband kept a woman in a cottage within 200 yards of his own house. She had been in service and had saved 20 Pounds and she was entitled to a legacy of 200 Pounds under her grandmother's will. The Court made the order.
