Village disturbance ends with teacher assaulted by pupil’s sisters
A village incident on Monday involved a female teacher trying to correct a student. An elder sister attacked the teacher with a wool stick, punched her, pulled hair, and tore dress. A passerby intervened and separated them. Parents arrived with another sister who grabbed the teacher by the throat and expelled her from the house. The two sisters were arrested, tried, and fined five shillings plus costs. The report criticizes interfering with teachers and blames parents more than children in such cases.
