Could anyone think of any references to the following in Child ballads: 1. A deaf mute (violent if possible, but not essential) 2. Father vs Son in combat 3. Wife beating (The Wee Cooper of Fife excepted) 4. A drunken guard in a tower, keep or prison. 5. A thief, robber or cutpurse where a woman is the victim. Needed for a piece I am writing and running short of research time. The ballad name or number would suffice. Greatly obliged.
