VIOLENT ASSAULT.—Thomas and Elizabeth 51;
were indicted for assaulting Catharine Scott 00 tiii 1

male defendant.
The jury found Elizabeth Scott Guilty, andlialit/(:
the male prisoner. itf 01
The RECORDER said it appeared that one IN'ei,
as bad as the other; there was great violence I',
side, and the husbands were the only person 9 eajo:

law was, that if a man kept anything unruly or,,effie
