o'clock on Saturday night, his wife, in the course of
a squabble about money matters, commenced break-
ing the crockery, pictures, and other things in the
house. On going to prevent her, he felt a sharp
pain in the side, and soon afterwards found blood
trickling down the right leg of his trousers. He
went at once to the policeetation and gave informa-
tion. He was somewhat the worse for liquor at the
time, and did not know whether the injury
was caused by a glass or anything else. He
was afterwards shown a gouge with blood on it,
which belonged to him, but which had no business
out of his workshop. Before he was wounded, his
wife threw a quart cup at him.—Sergeant White
stated that on going to the house with the prose-
cutor, between nine and ten, he found the front
room in a very disordered state, with broken cups
and glasses lying about. On a table behind the
door, he found a gouge with blood upon it, which he
produced. He took off the prosecutor's clothes,
which were saturated with blood. His waistcoat and
shirt were cut through on the right breast. —Mr.

attend the prosecutor at the Police-station

ing profusely from a semi-circular wound
about an inch deep, over the fourth rib on the
right side. He had great difficulty in stopping the
hemorrhage. In the prosecutor's clothes he found
cuts of a similar shape, immediately over the wound.
He subsequently found a wound on prosecutor's
head, which he was not conscious of having received.

about ten minutes to nine, at the George and Dragon

husband. She said she had not seen him. On their
way to the station she said her husband threw a
glass at her, and then she threw soup at him. She
was the worse for liquor at the time.—ln her
defence, the prisoner stated that she accompanied
her husband to Failierton, with some work, on Satur-
day evening. They went to several public-houses
and had drink. She went home to get his
, supper, while he went to the George and Dragon.
When it was ready she went for him, but he
told her to go home, Baying that he would
follow shortly. When he came in site was
sitting in a chair with a child. She asked him why
he had not come before the supper was cold, where-
upon ho Used bad language, and told her to leave
the house, adding that be would kick her out if
she did not go. He threw a glass at her, and she
then threw a quart cup, containing beer, at him.
