Lockie caught Mrs Isherwood by the throat and threw her down, severely bruising her. There was no suggestion of indecency. The case for the defence was that accused had had two or three whiskies on an empty stomach, and remembered nothing more until the next morning when he woke in the police cell, Further evidence, however, showed that accused had had at least five whiskieSj and was very drunk. The magistrate described the assault as a very bad one.
