Senior Sergeant Edwards said that accused had come home drunk and ,had thrown potatoes over the woman and burnt her neck. The woman’s condition made the assault more grave. The magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, said there was really only one thing to do with a man who knocked a woman about, but as the was poor he would give accused a chance. He was ordered to come up for sentence any time within 12 months and to take out a prohibition order.
