		Edward and Clara Leicester Journal: Friday 7 September 1866 "Clara Dent, of Atherstone, charged Emma Arms with an assault on the 23rd day of August. A counter assault was brought by Emma Arms against Edward Epplestone. It appeared that Epplestone was paying his addresses to Clara Dent, and Emma Arms had persuaded herself that she was a favourite of Epplestone's, and on meeting him with Clara Dent, on the day in question, had committed the assault complained of. The assault against Epplestone arose out of his preventing Arms from meeting Dent for further hostilities. The case was dismissed against Epplestone and Arms was adjudged to pay 14s 6d, or be imprisoned for 14 days."
