    Assault and battery. The defendant was surrendered before trial by his bail and committed; after verdict he offered to give security for fine and costs, and for abiding the judgment.
    Mr. Jones, for the United States,
    objected on the ground of his being in custody. But THE COURT overruled the objection.
   The jury, after retiring, were brought into court at their request, for the purpose of asking some questions of a witness. THE COURT refused to suffer the counsel to interrogate the witness.
