Martha Higgins , a respectable and elderly woman , living in Aske-place , Hoxton , Josiah Higgins , hei husband , and Sophia Thornton , a charwoman in their employment . Ihe first complainant , Martha Higgins , who appeared with her head enveloped in bandages , was in such a state of extreme suffering and

      exuaustion , trom the ill treatment she had sustained , that she was scarcely able to articulate , and wasaccomodated with a seat during tlie investigation . It appeared from her evidence , and that of several other witnesses , that shortly before five o ' clock on Saturday afternoon , while the charwoman , Thornton , was engaged in cleaning the parlour window , at the house of Mr . Higgins , the defendant , who was passing along in the company of another person , wantonly raised his stick and gave her a smart cut across the armOn demanding

      . what . he meant by such conduct , the defendant assailed her with the most profane and scurrilous language , which atiraeted the notice of her mistress , who proceeded to the door , and remonstrated with him upon his disgraceful behaviour , to which he replied with a disgusting epithet , and was proceeding to attack her also , when his friend interposed , and succeeded with some difficulty in forcing him down the street

      . Feeling greatly incensed at the outrage , Mrs . Higgins immediately communicated the particulars to her husband , who hastened after the defendant and his friend , whom he overtook at a short distance , and inquired it' they were the persons who had insulted his wife and . servant . The defendant coolly answered in the affirmative , to which the complainant replied that it was well for him he was not present at the time , but he had no sooner uttered the

      observation than the defendant made a ' violent cut at his head with his stick , which he managed to ward off at the expense of a severe bruise upon his arm , ami his assailant rapidly followed up the attack by a succession of heavy blows , one of which struck him wider the ear , and caused him the most " excruciating pain from the effects of which he had not yet recovered . While they were struggling together , his

      wife , who was greatly alarmed and agitated , suddenly presen ted herself , and on begging him not to engage in a personal contest , but to give the fellow in charge , the defendant thrust her violently i » l » vf road , and , raising the buit-end of his stick , dealt her a blow on W front of her head , causing a wound from the blooii streamed down over her face .
