WESTERN TIMES - Wednesday 08 August 1883.

Henry Mapledorum and Elizabeth Mapledorum, his wife, of Tabernacle Court, Coombe Street, were charged with being drunk, using obscene language, &c, in that locality on the previous night.
PC Day hearing a row proceeded to the Court and found the husband using bad language to his wife, and soon they got fighting.
PC Koill being on duty in Quay Lane, hearing the noise, also witnessed the fighting of the pair, who were both drunk. The wife he considered worse than the husband, for if he gave her one blow she gave him two. They were taken to the Police Station to prevent further mischief.
Fined 2s 6d each and costs, the Chairman denounced their doing as most disgraceful, and expressing a hope that they would turn over a new leaf.
