If ever 169 a wife proved unfaithful to her spouse, or vice versa, or if ever a shrew ill-used her rightful lord and master, this custom was put in operation. Of the latter sin an instance may be given in illustra- tion. The knowledge becoming public property, a good number of the townsfolk would congregate together, and having placed an effigy of the object of their correction upon a donkey, they would parade the streets with loud shouts and whistling, accom- panying the music with the beating... of old tin cans, and then halting before the abode of their victim, would break out into a chorus after the following style : Sally Grime has beaten her master, A blow with the poker on the head. Her grumbling tongue she wags e'en faster Than the jackdaw jibbering on the shed.
We come here now to give her warning That unless her evil she gives o'er Every day from the night till morning We'll ride the stang from door to door.
The custom is now almost obsolete, though according to reports in the North Cheshire Herald it was carried on in Romiley as late as the " eighties.
