Loud Kisser Charged In Court

1896

A young woman was brought before Judge Steers, of Flatbush, N.Y., on the charge of kissing her husband in public, and so loud as to constitute a breach of the peace. The Judge decided that a woman had a right to kiss her husband out loud, and wherever she chose, and put the complainant under a peace bond.
