East Marden, a remote parish on the borders of Sussex and Hampshire, was the scene where Rev. John Francia had charge of two small parishes.

According to the evidence in an assualt charge against Henry Herbert Cox, Mr. Francis was going home one Sunday after. noon from a service when, down a side lane, be saw approaching him Cox, with whom he had had differences.
