I don't remember any off the top of my head, but in a quick search I found a couple who were ordered to stand in the stocks due to their anticipation of their marriage, which isn't that weird considering the society in question. The weird thing is that the husband was ordered to build the stocks for this purpose. So every young couple that got caught in Duxborough got to wear the Francis and Margery West stocks.
