"On Monday last, it being Plough Monday as well as our fair, the
inhabitants were not a little annoyed by a more than ordainary number
of drunken and worthless characters, under the guise of ploughboys
from the neighbouring villages. Two of the fellows went into the house
of a poor old woman named Tindale (whose mother was lying in a helpless,
if not hopeless state), in Northgate, and whilst one held the distressed
creature in conversation, a second stole a bible (a sort of heirloom in
the family), and marched off with it: the thieves have not been discovered."
