Kendal, Milne, and Co., Manchester. The complainant stated that the defendant had been in the same establishment with him, but had since left. There had been some feelings of affection between them, and they had corresponded together. Miss Edwards had gone to live at Oswestry, and while she was there he heard something, in consequence of which he wrote to her. On Thursday last he was in the bazaar serving some lady customers, when the defendant entered the shop in a very violent temper, and produced a horsewhip which she thrashed him with about the shoulders, neck and face.<\/p>\n<p>In cross-examination the complainant admitted that he had kept company with the defendant for about six months, and had given her a ring. He did not intend to marry her after he found out what he had about her lately. He wrote her a letter in which he said, \u201cSince you have mentioned the gentleman\u2019s name, I might as well tell you it is the talk of the bazaar that he slept with you \u2013 told publicly by himself yesterday.\u201d He also wrote, \u201cIf you don\u2019t return the carte and ring by bearer I will write your mother and let her know the cause of all; you are only about one step above the streets at the present time.\u201d Mr. Cobbett, who appeared for Miss Edwards, said the complainant had circulated a scandalous and unfounded report about her, and she, having no male relations at hand to assist her, had horsewhipped the complainant for it. He admitted the assault. Mr. Rickards (the presiding magistrate) said as the assault had been admitted he would call upon the defendant to enter into her own recognisances of \u00a310 to keep the peace. He would not say a word about the horsewhipping.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2
