Three rough fellows, George Lowther, Richard Newson and Alfred Frost were charged Thursday 7th June 1866 of having assaulted Charlotte Mace. They had entered her house at between one and two o'clock in the morning and were refused service since they were the worse for liquor. They abused her, struck her in the face and knocked her to the ground. Each were fined 10s and costs, or 14 days' hard labour.
