Woodward, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court to day, when he admitted assaulting his wife, Jean Winifred Cole. Evidence was given that Cole severely beat his wife with a rubber hose. He admitted doing so, but denied having struck her with his fists. Constable W. F. Antill, in evidence, said Cole, when questioned, said he beat his wife because she would not do as he asked her. Cole was sentenced to a week’s imprisonment on a similar charge in January, 1947.
