[Genealib] Definition of word

[Susan Scouras]

Given the meanings of the word "choler" I would guess cholering refers
to an angry outburst, tirade, rant, etc. that was public and disturbed
the peace.

While working on some old Justice of the Peace court records, we
recently came across a person who was fined $1.00 for "Cholering".

Does anyone know the definition of Cholering?  The handwriting is very
legible, so we're pretty confident of the spelling of the word. We just
have never encountered it before, nor know what it means.
