23rd September 1861 : Henry King was charged by farmer Steward, of Stokesby, of assault. The case was a trifling one and arose from a squabble as to the possession of certain halters. Language was exchanged between the parties, not at all pleasant to ears polite, after which they struck each other. It was proved to the satisfaction of the magistrates that Steward had wilfully put himself in the way of King. The Bench dismissed the trumpery charge.
