whitt with violently assaulting Edward Walters, a lock•

gical bandage, said that the defendant having kept his
(complainant's) son, a boy, 10 years of age, from school all
day yesterday turning a wheel for him, he went yesterday
evening to ask him why ho had dono so. The defendant
slammed his workshop door in hia face, and in doing so the
shutter of the door fell first upon him (complainant), and
then upon a dog, which set to howling. The defendant
then struck him with a hammer, first on the hand, and then
on the head. From the blow on the head he became insen-
sible, but after a time recovered himself and went to the
hospital, where the surgeon found that besides having re-
ceived a severe wound on the head, the knuckles of his
hand were dislocated.

Richard Bartlett, a boy, living at No. 6, Black Horse-
yard, said he was in the defendant's workshop turning a
wheel with the complainant's lit: la boy. The complainant
came in, and said " Why do you encourage my boy here
and keep him from school." The defendant made use of
