A spurned Scottish girl, the victim of a broken engagement by her Jersey boyfriend, set upon him with a horse whip after seeing him kiss another girl in the street. He had broken it off after she ordered the wedding dress, which made her feel "a great deal worse."
From the NYT Archive, circa 1887. Thanks to the tipster who brought it to our attention!
