The Magistrate told the defendant that his wife had been up to the Court to-day and charged him with assalting her.
The Defendant: Where is she now I want to see her.
The Attorney General replied that it was 60, but since then there were two more cases ready for this Sessions, the prisoners having waived their five days notice of trial.
His Lordship said he was doubtful of a prisoner's consent to be tried; it was not his consent but his wish to be tried that he was giving. He thought that it would be unfair to a prisoner who was ignorant of the law to accept his waiver of notice and to try him without giving him time to prepare his defence.
The Attorney General replied that, as there were so many cases to be tried, there would be time to give the prisoners later com- mitted their five days' notice.
