Saturday, November 9th: Before The Mayor,
Major Leggatt, G.I. Swoffer, W.G. Herbert, R.J. Linton, and T. Ames Esqs.
Hannah Warman was summoned by Adelaide Victoria Cornish
for assaulting her. Defendant pleaded Not Guilty.
Complainant, who informed the Bench that she had come
to speak the truth, said her husband was a fisherman, and she lived at 67,
Radnor Street. On Saturday evening, shortly before nine o`clock, she went to
the Jubilee public house to get half a pint of stout. The defendant also came
in and used bad language about a “War Cry” and complainant`s husband. She (Mrs.
Cornish) took no notice of her, and defendant pitched into her when she had a
baby in her arms. The landlord ordered Mrs. Warman out of the house, and when
she (complainant) went out she was waiting for her. She knocked her down, laid
on her chest, and struck her on the nose. She did not get off her until a
policeman came. She threatened to serve her ten times worse if she summoned
her.
Mrs. Mary Whittingstall, the complainant`s mother,
corroborated her, and also stated that the baby had been ill ever since Monday
in consequence of the defendant knocking her daughter down when she had the
baby in her arms.
Defendant said what the complainant had said was all
false. Mrs. Cornish insulted her and struck her. Mr. Gell ordered her outside,
and then the complainant said she would fight her. She struck her, so she could
do nothing but strike her back.
John Edward Gell said the two had kicked up a
disturbance in his house, so he ordered Mrs. Warman out. She was not drunk. He
advised Mrs. Cornish to go out by another door in order to get out of the way,
but she said she would go out and fight defendant. Mrs. Cornish struck the
defendant first and then gave her baby to her mother so that she could have a
fight. The two women certainly did fight for ten minutes.
The Mayor said the case was not proved to the
satisfaction of the Bench, and the case would be dismissed.
