THE CRIMINAL TRIAL LIST.
Com. VS. William Elliott. This case
upon its trial disclosed the fact of an
aggravated Assault and Battery. The
defendant 0n AnUuet 18th 1880 xr,hiIa
employed in the rolling mill at Duncan
non, after squabble with q fellow
workman named James Smith, seized
hold of fifteen pound iron rod or scrap
er, about six feet long and three quarters
OF an inch thick, and struck the young
man Smith dreadful blow on the side
of his head with the iron rod, inflicting
dangerous wound and cutting the in
jured man to the skull The prosecutor
bore the mark of the blow in court. The
defendant was convicted, and sentenced
to pay the costs of prosecution and stand
committed until paid. Dist. Atty. Wal
lis q Markell for Com. VIM. A. Spons-
Ter d VIM. III. Sponsler for Deft.
Com. VS. Peter Low. This was TO be
trlal OF an Indictment found at the Au-
gust sessions 1880. After a jury had
been impanelled and sworn, the defend
ant plead guilty to the charge contained
in the bill of Indictment. So peculiar
are events, and such a civilizing and hu.
manizing influence has an assault and
battery upon some people, that the pros
ecutrix, Mrs. Smiegh, the defendants
housekeeper, 1t Is reported, now intends
marrying the man who whipped her.
1t Is to be hoped that her generous ma
ture may not be abused by her contem-
plated spouse, and she be whipped often
