Bucks Gazette 24 September 1836.

On Monday an inquest was held at the "Nag's Head," Welling, on the body of Sarah Taylor, aged 48, who had come by her death in a squabble with her husband and others at a public-house called the "Fox and Hounds" at Bexley.

It appeared that the deceased and her husband had gone into the tap-room of the public-house in a state of intoxication. They had not been there long before a quarrel ensued between them, and Taylor struck deceased a heavy blow on the head, which knocked her down. He then said "D--n you, lay there and die," and afterwards kicked her. Great confusion followed, in the course of which the tables were overturned, and the candles put out. Deceased got up and walked to the passage, and then fell again. The above was the evidence of the ostler, but another witness said he was joking with deceased, that she came and sat upon his knee, that he moved his knee and she fell down upon the ground, she was tipsy at the time. He added, he did not see Taylor kick his wife. The Jury returned a verdict "that the deceased died from violence, but by whom the injuries were inflicted there was not sufficient evidence to determine."
