remonstrated with by the plaintiff, she replied they
should not hang there; she then pulled complainant's
nose, threw a brick-bat at her, called her vile names,
spit in her face, and threw water over her. In con-

clown the clothes, and said that she (Mrs. Hunt)
had done it. The whole of the neighbours were set

she sew Mrs. Strickland with a " promp," striking
Mrs. Hunt. Mrs. Legg was there, and said "pitch
it into her, the Irish pig." Witham than came

purpose of taking her wt.—The first complainant
(Mrs. Strickland) then requestedthe police-constable
to be examined.— P.C. Petben stated that on the day
in question he was sent for by Mrs. Legg, who room.
plained that there had been a "row" going on
