Star of Gwent. 12th May, 1879
Drunk and Disorderly

Mr. Dugmore of the Market Boat Inn, Stow Hill, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on Stow Hill. P.C. Pike proved that the prisoner was outside the Market Boat beer house on Saturday night kicking at the door, he said he wanted some words with his wife. The prisoner said he was getting away from his wife and was going quietly to his lodgings; he denied he was drunk. Inspector Williams said he was very drunk when brought to the station. The Bench fined the prisoner ten shillings and the costs or fourteen days imprisonment. Mrs. Dugmore applied that her husband be bound over to keep the peace, as she was afraid of her life. In reply to her husband Mrs. Dugmore said he gave her a couple of black eyes last Christmas, and on Saturday night he threatened her. The Magistrates bound the prisoner over to keep the peace for six months.
