From the Dover Express and East Kent Intelligencer, 21 May, 1859.

A WOMAN'S QUARREL

Catherine Macfarlane was summoned for an assault upon Sarah Pope, the landlady of the "Globe" public-house, Commercial Quay.

The complainant said - I am the landlady of the "Globe." On Tuesday evening, about half-past ten o'clock, the defendant came into my house and called for a glass of beer. I told her that my beer was "out," which was the case. She then began to abuse me, and struck me across the arm with her hand. She also threatened to "do" for me. The defendant had insulted me on the preceding evening. She was on the step at the time, and I closed the door against her.

Jane Parrot, a lodger at the "Globe," said she witnessed the assault on the complainant by defendant on Tuesday night.

The defendant denies touching the complainant with any intention of assaulting her, and the Bench ultimately dismissed the case as too trivial for their interference.
