PSS1/13

Examination of Alfred Peet of Wymington, farmer, and Eli Bayes (?) constable of Podington. AP had asked Richard Rich, his employee, why he had not cut the hay cleanly, RR, under the influence of drink then aimed his scythe at AP, but missed, AP took it from him and RR hit him in the face, drawing blood. RR also seized AP's fishing rod and threatened to put his eye out with it. AP "in fear of his life" applied to the justices (see PSS 1/10).
