Once bitten, twice shy they say when it comes to certain affairs of the heart, but in this case one bite it seems was plenty!

In Britain during 1837, one Mr Thomas Saverland took one Miss Caroline Newton to court.

The offence that led to this? When he tried to kiss her she bit his nose!

It seems that the lady in question was not so keen on being kissed by Mr Saverland and so when he attempted to do so, she promptly took a piece out of him - straight from the nose!

The judge acquitted Miss Newton after stating that any woman is entitled to bite a man's nose if she is kissed against her will. One solicitor present was heard to add "And eat it."
