- “Marsden's first and second balls were no-balled for throwing
by Jeffries. His third bowled Sheraton. 15 or 16 more balls
from Marsden were called ‘foul' by Jeffries who also
no-balled Dearman twice. The Sheffield players then refused
to continue and left the field. The Nottingham players then
met Mr.Woolhouse at the Ram Inn and he agreed that his team
would resume on condition that Marsden's usual strong bowling
should not be objected to. Play resumed at 4pm but Marsden
was again no-balled by Jeffries despite the previous
assurances. In the second innings Rawlins ran a five but was
then given out hit the ball twice by Jeffries. The Sheffield
reporter insisted the decision was incorrect as he hit the
ball a second time accidentally and was not trying to score
or prevent a catch being taken. Jeffries again no-balled
Marsden at the start of the second innings and the Sheffield
team left the ground a second time. On leaving the field they
were stoned and abused by the crowd. The Sheffield team were
of a mind to return to Sheffield until the Nottingham players
agreed that the umpires would be replaced. In fact, three
players (Dawson, Smith and Fisher) did leave and were
replaced by Davis (from Leicester), Petty (the umpire on the
first three days) and Needham” (Sheffield Independent). The
Nottingham Journal report differs in some respects saying
that Sheffield ‘yielded the point' about Marsden's bowling
