tured The prisoner. an intelligent-looking old
man, took the stand and stated that his wife threw
several bricks at him, one OF which struck porch
and broke in three pieces, one OF which struck and
cut her on the head. The counsel for the prisoner
asked the court to dismiss the case, as the Dris-
Oner was an ''ntelligent, respectable old cOlOred
gentleman" 'There seems to have been a tfme,' u
remarked the court, 'when aristoeratc old gen
tlemen exercised the authority OF thrashng their
wives. This Old Virginia gentleman, or this aris-
tocratir Old gentleman, has assaulted his wife
seriously, and this is bad state OF facts and l
think the old gentleman can pay a fine OF $50 Or
three months" An appeal was noted.
