Returning to the public house he found the pair together and upon asking for the return of his purse and contents, Folk said that if anything more was said to his wife, he would break Thrower's snout. It was revealed that Thrower was a married man and had visited no less than forty public houses on the 7th May before finding Fenn. He had frequented her home many times before.
Fenn received six month's imprisonment and Folk twelve month's with hard labour.
