MARGARET EVANS
Margaret Evans was taken to court in Caernarfon in 1883, because she had argued with her neighbour Margaret Griffiths. Margaret Griffiths’ hens had wandered into Margaret Evans’ garden, and Margaret Evans had gotten on her knees and read a verse of the Bible to the hens, cursing them. When Margaret Evans was asked to respond to the accusation in court, she said that Margaret Griffiths had thrown stones at her, and it was a pity to let her live.
