A carting contractor from Lower Largo and his son had been travelling home when they heard the noise of a horse galloping behind them. A 'fast-bodied' cart driven by another local carting contractor had then attempted to pass on the wrong side, mounting the footpath and colliding with the original cart "and as a result the stay was broken and the hocksbar was bent. His horse was rubbed against, and the [drivers] leg was skinned." An altercation seems to have followed and the case was heard in Cupar Sheriff Court several days later.
