 AN ASSAULT CASE
 On Friday morning Joseph Rivallier was brought before justice Hicks, in the town hall, ,on 8 charge of assault and breach of the pease, preferred by his wife, Frances, who claims that he pounded and otherwise abused her. The children were present and corroborated the mothers testimony. A number of citizens attended she hearing and were divided in their opinions as to the prisoners guilt. Justice Hicks bound him over to the February term of the Superior Court under S400 bond.
 JAIL RATHER THAN FINE
 Joseph Rivallier, who was arrested Friday on an assault charge, has been ar rested on previous occasions on similar charges and in some instances has paid his fine and on others has gone to jail rather than pay. On one of the latter occasions he had $200 in his pocket at the time of his hearing and his wife in- formed Justice Hicks, Friday, that Ri vallier could have provided the $400 bond had he been so disposed inasmuch as his savings bank deposit exceeds t h amount.

 WON HIS FIRST CASE
 Donald J. Warner, son of State At toney Donald T. Warner, who completed his law studies Ill Yale not long since, tried his first case on Friday of last week. He appeared for the plaintiff in the Rivallier assault hearing before jus tice Hicks and was successful inasmuch as the defendant was bound over to the Superior Court.
