Hi Louvain - thanks for this post. I'm confused about the offence of "shewing a stallion". Was Mr Evans not entitled to ride a horse through the streets of Bridgend? I'd understand if it was wanton or furious riding but there's no suggestion of that. Any idea?
Hello! "shewing a stallion" is an offense I have encountered quite often when I have been going through these records. I can only assume it would be classed as causing a nuisance... It's on my list of things to find out!
I love the cat fight between the two Marys lol but what a punishment for name-calling wowzer!
This was a fun read, thanks!
