Some boys had been annoying her, and she had a jug in her hand, with which she struck the boy Lloyd in the face, reopening some wounds which he had previously received from the kick of a horse. Accused pleaded guilty to a common assault, and as the Crown Prosecutor did not pray for judgment, she was discharged. Mr Crick appeared for the accused.
