Mrs. Pye was given as keeper of a public house in Hevingham where an
assault had taken place in December 1842. Constable John Cox had
intervened in a quarrel between Robert Farrow, Samuel Stone and John
Wont at the request of Mrs. Pye. Cox was thrown out of the house by the
three, having his head cut by the door post. He said he would forgive
them if they left quietly. Thirty minutes later another quarrel took
place and the constable decided to clear the house. Once again he was
beaten and ill-treated. Only after calling for assistance were the three
ejected.
In court Wednesday 4th January 1843, the three were advised by their
legal representative to plead guilty.
Stone and Want received 24 hours imprisonment and Farrow to seven days.
