"A few Days ago, Mr. J____h M____by, of Westgarth-Hill in the County of Cumberland, set upon his Father in such a furious Manner, that after he had belched out a great many horrible Oaths and Curses upon him, and beat and bruised him most inhumanly, he then tumbled him down headlong as tho' he would have murder'd him, leaving him in a most lamentable Condition, so that ever since he has not been able to walk without Crutches. His Mother hearing his Father crying out in a most piteous Manner, ventured out to assist him in his Distress; he then set upon her, bidding G_d d_mn her for an old Bitch, with many other vile Expressions, and tore off her Hat and Head-Cloaths, and dashed her bare Head against the Wall; and after he had bruised her most barbarously, he threw Water upon her, trod her Head-Cloaths in the Mire under his Feet, and left them both in such a deplorable Condition, that they must inevitably have perish'd, had it not been for the good Offices of some well-disposed Neighbours, who took them in and immediately sent for a Surgeon, by whose Care it is hoped they will both recover."
