Stratford Temperance Tales Highlight Domestic Strife in Local Court
Two temperance tales opened Stratford's local justice court with cases of wife beating linked to intoxication. The first, involving Mr Pitcher and his wife on Second Hill road, ended with costs about 16 dollars and a warning of imprisonment if repeated. The second case against John Gaswith mirrors the pattern, noting wakeful early hours and a family of five.
