Desperate Struggle between Females

Ann BRAMMER was summoned for assaulting Sarah MOODY at South Leverton on Saturday April 8th.  Complainant said that MOODY doubled her fists, struck her on the forehead, threw her into a dyke, the stones cutting her face, which bled profusely.  BRAMMER then got upon MOODY, who seized her by the hair and they struggled together for some time. A woman named Mary DALE gave evidence, testifying that BRAMMER commenced the row, and further stated that MOODY's face was covered with blood. BRAMMER was ordered to pay a fine of five shillings and twenty shillings costs.
