ts "A NOVEL ASSAULT AND BATTERY Case
We frequently hear of san stroke, but it is
not often that assaults of this kind become
the course OF litigation. They may be, it
seems, when Apoilo's, arrows are directed by
third party, as in the following case: fnsR ,
In Philadelphia a novel case was dismissed of
by Judge Ludlow, in the Court Of Quarter
Sessions, requiring a new definition of the
scope OF the offence. of assault aud battery
A young man was tried for casting reflections
at a married woman by means of q looking
glass and an opera glass. He was very i'm
properly spendiag his Sunday morning on the
roof of house, armed with these offensive
weapons, and was amusing himself by reflect
ing the rays OF the sun in the faces OF people
passing along the street. The plaintiff testi-
fed that upon looking out of her window she
was sudde3ly dazzled by an intense light
which deprived her OF sight for several min
utes. AS soon as she recovered from the pain
her husband requested her to try it again,
which did not indicate the conjugal tender
ness which should exist between man and wife
She comnlied with the request, however, and
aSaln came uader the looking glass and opera
GLASS battery. The operators appear TO have
been scientific opticians, ard had so carefully
studied the angles of light that although the
opera glass man was hidden behind a Chin
ney, with his instrument, he managed. with
the aid of looking glass in the hands of his
colleague, to direct the operate reflection
across tina street and into the plaintiffs win
dow osna4ai BHoHl 1 a7iT f'r'-'-
The charge OF Judge Ludlow in this novel
case, is an interesting one. After defining an
assault to be "an intention by violence to do
injury to another" the Judge passed on che
discussion of the question of battery He ac-
knowledeed the point of law, but solvedit up
ON the theory that all material things, no mat
ter how ethereal, are substantial, and may be
used for purposes of assault and battery
Blows inflicted by light, heate lectricity, SOUND.
vapor and the like are as actionable as those
delivered by clubs, fists or pistols. '7''7
Judge LudOw's decisions of this interesting
case was approved by the jury, and verdict
was found for the plaintiff The lesson is
very useful one, and applies to a wide circle of
offenders. ~ y

= YORK COUNTY rELECTIoN-The result Of
! the September election in York County is al
ready known in a general way---it is known
that there was no election of Senators, and
that the Democratic county ticket is elected il
the Democratic vote in the town of York is
counted, and defeated if the irregular votes
cast in that town are thrown out. The irregu-
larity of these votes consists in the fact that
they had in addition to the names of the can
didates and offices the political name of the
ticket and the date. This irregulsrity is ex7
pressly forbidden by section y, chap. 4 of the
Revised Statutes, which says
No ballot shall be received at any election Of
S:ate or town officers, unless in writing or
printing upon clean white paper without any
distinguishing mark or figures thereon, besides
the names OF the persons voted for, and the of
flee to be filed, but no vote shall be rejected
on this account after il is received into the bal
lot box ~ a'i Aiislin - w Elli7 ~ 49,
1T is plain therefore that these ballots ougl. t
not to have been received, and it is equally
plain that the selectnien havin., received thent
h I'd no authori y subsequently to reject them,
The question arise whether the Governor and
Council are by the last clause in this section
forbidden to reject these ballots in December
Wien it becomes their duty to open and COM
p ire the returns t@ 4t7iht- -
The Biddeford Journal takes the ground that
the Governor and Council must reject the
York ballots, for the following reasons: /
chapter of the Revised Statutes relates en-
tirely to the duties of municipal and town
ohcers, and hence its provisions apply to 10
other officers. 2. By the amended law of 1864
the Governor and Council are to open and
compare election returns for all county officers
and to declare what officers haze a plurality of
votes. g. The Governor and Council are thus
made Judges of county elections, with full pow
ers to remedy all abuses permitted by muncip-
al officers, subject only to impeachment for
mlsdemeanors in the exercise of these power s.
4. The ballots which municipal officers have
no right to receive are not votes, and although
the town officers after receiving cannot reject
them, it is the duty Of the Governor and Coun-
Gil TO throw them out. ,;t 4..
