A traction engine driver was fined for assaulting Octavia Bocock, farmer and a well-known cricketer of Ashley. He had seen the man with his traction engine on the road near his pond where it had stopped to take water. He had no right to do so without permission. The driver said he had permission from the foreman to take two or three pails of water as he could get plenty of clean water at Lydgate. Bocock said he would stand in front of the engine until he paid him 5s. but the driver drove on.
