RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.
Tins Pay. (Before A. C. Strode, Esq., E.M.) DRUNKENNESS. John Hoare, alias Howard, was fined 40s, or in default seven days’ imprisonment, for this offence. ASSAULT. John Dodds was charged, on remand, with assaulting Mary Ann Evans, with intent to commit a rape. It appeared from the evidence that on the 15th inst. the prisoner went to the prosecutrix’s house, and enquired if his wife, who was engaged washing there, was in. Mrs Evans replied in the affirmative, and told him to go in and see her. He then asked if Mr Evans was at home, and on receiving a reply in the negative, he forced Mrs Evans against the wall, and attempted to commit the offence. Mrs Evans’s screams brought the prisoner’s wife to her assistance, and he ran out of the house. The prisoner was sentenced to fourteen days’ imprisonment, with hard labor.
