For this offence the teacher whipped her with a

insisted that under the law of 1861, which alb d.
ished corporal punishment in schools, the teacher
was prohibited from chastising a pupil in the
manner proved, and in doing SO he was guilty of
assault and battery. Counsel for the defence, on
the other hand, called on the jury to scout the
