CALLINGTON PETTY SESSIONS    John Wenmoth of St Ive, was summonsed to answer the complaint  of Mary Jane Higman, for an improper assault. Mr Moone defended. The complainant stated that on the 1^st Jan inst., she went to Wenmoth’s house, and remained to a quarter before 9 pm O’Clock. On leaving Mrs Wenmoth offered the services of the defendant, to accompany her part of the way home, which he did. After going a short distance Wenmoth said ‘now we will have a ‘skat’ to courting’, and  threw her down on a grassy mound and attempted to take liberties. She resisted and he then allowed her to pursue her course for some distance, when he repeated his attempts. Mr Moone in defence contended that the assault, if any was committed, was of a very slight character, the complainant having admitted in her evidence, that a pitcher and a basin she was carrying, were not broken, nor her clothes soiled or disarranged. The bench seemed to entertain a similar opinion and inflicted a penalty of 3s on the defendant with costs of  12s 6d.
