• Notes

  Thomas Clayfield was convicted of assaulting his wife and the case was adjourned until June 6. His wife declared he had struck her twice on the jaw with his fist and had said he would murder her. After the assault, which took place on May 8, in the evening, she had left the home. Evidence of the doctor was that her neck showed swelling and discoloration on both sides. The defendant said he had asked his wife to come home and answer the telephone. She at first refused and later when she went to the telephone and had answered the call abruptly, he admonished her and "pushed her". The complainant told the court when she reached the telephone, the party had left the line. Defendant said they had been married for 13 years, this being his second wife. Separation was suggested but he objected to this. Other witnesses included one son, who said his step-mother had treated him and his father fairly. The son corroborated statements of his father that there had been no previous trouble. Newspaper unknown
