RECORDER LoNG'S CouRT.- Joseph Solomon
charged with having assaulted and slapped Mrs.
Huard, his neice, on the 9th inst, was examined
and committed for trial before the First District
Court and gave bail to appear.
Mrs. Huard, charged by Solomon with assault
ing him. was also examined but the case was
finally dismissed, upon the charge being with
drawn by the prosecutor after all the evidence on
both sides having been heard.
According to the testimony given yesterday, in
these cases, it appears that some months since
Mr.. Solomon borrowed from Mrs. Huard a sword,
which belonged to her deceased husband, and
when requested to give it up, refused, although
the demand was made frequently. Mrs. Huard
finally called upon Mr. Solomon, personally, and
demanded the sword; but, after being refused
was ordered to leave the house. Upon her refusing
to go without the sword, she was torcibly elected
into the street, and there slapped violently il
the face by Solomon. Solomon plead insulting Ian
guage as provocation but witnesses contradicteG
this statement, avering on the contrary that she
only demanded her property, and that he was
violent and insulting in his language.
