AT GRAVESIDE
SISTERS-IN- LAW QU A RREL IN DISGRACEFUL SCENE A scene at a cemetery when two women came to blows at a funeral had a sequel at the East Ham Court, ■when Jane Taylor, of Hove-avenue, Walthamstow, was summoned for assaulting her sister-in-law, Ethel Taylor, of Gurney-road, Stratford. The two women were at the funeral of their brother-in-law at Manor Park, and as the body was being lowered, Jane Taylor said: “Hello, Lil. You have come to see the last bf him. You might have gone to see him before he died. At this, she said, Ethel used bad language, tore her fur from her neck, and punched her in the face, causing her to slip over. Then when the mourners had entered the coaches Ethel ran up saying she would murder her. A woman who tried to separate the two received a blow in the eye from Ethel Taylor. Ethel said the other woman struck first. “This is one of the most disgraceful cases I have ever had the misfortune to have before me,” said the magistrate. “You should be ashamed of yourselves.” He imposed a fine of 40s. —Empire News (Manchester).
