Norton BAVANT.- Mr. James Knight wassummooed
by Virtue King,* domestic servant in his employ, for
an assault committed on the 29th A priL Complainant
stated that on that day her master returned home
from Codford Rams at about half-past nine o'clock
in the evening; she went out and took the bridle
off Ilia horse, and carried it into the kitchen, and
then took him out the key of the stable. He
then began cursing and abusing her, and " becalled"
her in language too bad to repeat. He then took
the stick he had used with his horse, and thrust it
into her mouth, and knocked a piece oft one of her
teeth; he then struck her across the head with the
stick. She went in and told her mistress she would
go for • policeman, but her mistress persuaded her
not to do so. Her master then came in and said if
she dicl'ot abut her mouth he'd make her, and at
the same moment he struck her with his fist in the
face, and gave her a black eye. When she was in-
doors, her master took her hold by the shoulders
and pinched her arms, which were still black and
blue. Ho afterwards caught hold of her hand, on
which she had a gathered finger, and squeezed it so
much that she nearly fainted. He then ordered her
to bed, and after she was there, her mistress went
up and put a poultice on her finger—Complainant,
in croasexamination' said that she was under notice
to leave Mr. Knight's service. She did not abuse
her mistress. Her Lead, though it did not bleed,
was much bruised. Mr. Knight told her that
morning in Mr. Cowdry's propene*, that he was
worry for what he had done, and did not wish the
ease to go before the magistrates. Defendant,
in answer to the charge, denied that he beat
the complainant with a stick, but admitted
taking hold of her by the arms to put her
out because she was saucy, and called him •
liar, lie never told her he was sorry for what be
had done, nor did he say he didn't want the case to
go before the magistrate& —Wm. Cowdry said that
on the previous day he was at defendant's house, the
complainant came into the room where they were
sitting, and began telling her wrongs. Her master
ordered her to leave the room, but she would not.
That morning also he was at Mr. Knight's house.
Did not hear Mr. Knight say he was sorry for what
be bad done, or anything like it; though it was
indignantly denied on the part of Mr. Knight that
Cowdry was authorised by him to make the matter
up with the complainant, or that be had attempted
to du eo.—The Bench elicited, by close questioning,
that Cowdry did see the complainant on the previous
evening, and asked her to make it up with Mr.
Knight without going before a magistrate. This be
did at Mr. Knight's request, but did not offer the
complainant any money.—The magistrates said that
they considered the chsrge fully proved, and fined
Mr. Knight a 10s., and 10a. oosts.—A complaint
against Elizabeth Doe! by Ann Duel, for an assault,
was dismissed on payment of costs.
