“Danny Sim's Sow”
Description
"There was a drunken collier, they ca'd him Danny Sim." Danny, sent to buy feed for the sow, instead spends it drinking. His wife complains. He grabs a pick (pike?) and beats her. He offers a sow to the butcher, and sells his bruised wife
Notes
Although clearly meant to be funny, this strikes me as being about as humorous as mud. - RBW
