L
VIOLENT ASSAULT.— Thomas and Elizabeth 5-
were indicted for assaulting Catharine S:.ot.t 03 tile'
of Novems•r last.
Tile prosecutrix and the defendants lived in the
house, and it appeared that there hai been a ge;,.
fight, in which all the inhabitants of the houie,
part except the husband of the prosecutrix
male defendant.
The jury found Elizabeth Scott Guilty, and AO
the male prisoner. -
The RECORDER said it Appeared that one part/
as bad as the other; there was great violence on
side, and the husbands were the only persolls,:s
house who did not take.part in the feud. Thei 1,
law was, that if a man kept anything unruly or af:
ens, he was bound to control it. lie should thereo.
require the husband of each party to become ansp.
able for their wives keeping the peace, in the same
each. No judgment was given. •
Mr. CLARKZON applied to the Court under the 0,
ing circumstances :—ln January two
persons, n(9,,
Ann Robinson and Joseph Smith, were eonvietL,.,
their own confession, of having kept a disorderly '4';
butjugdment was respited, the defendants being' ').„,!
over to appear and receive judgment when called bee;
but it was the understanding that they would lot v
called on if they abated the nuisance ; they had'i,V
ev, r, opened another house, which had been comp
~1
of as a nuisance; and the vestry clerk had servo
with notice to appear and receive judgment this (IN'
on being served they laughed at the vestry cleric. 00;
The RECORDER said the notice was, that the
.1,61,.
would be moved to give judgment, and if the chic'
did not appear the Court would be called upon to
the recognizances. That was no notice to aPPe
least only an argumentative one.
Mr. CLARKSON—It is a common sense, aati.eell
Lord.

RECORDER—Yes, but it is not a common saw
notice; they must be served again.

Mr. CLARKSON—If they wero lawyers en.-. 01,1
know the difference, I am not surprised at their isPe
