Details: John Williamson per Henry Porcher, assigned to William Dun, charged with an assault on Mrs. Dun....Mr. Dun testified..On Saturday month I believe I was in the garden when I heard a noise in the house I went to the house and I saw Mrs. Dun supported by two female servants. I asked what was the matter and asked her if she was hurt. She said no dont be frightened I am not hurt. The servant told me that she was standing at the front kitchen door that she saw the prisoner strike Mrs. Dun in the face. She said that she was so surprised that the prisoner had time to strike Mrs. Dun three times before she could come to her assistance. When she ran to Mrs. Dunn and received the fourth blow intended for Mrs. Dun in her own bust. I asked Mrs. Dun if she had occasion to find fault with the prisoner that day. She said no she was walking through the kitchen without taking notice of him. She did not observe that he was in the kitchen when he came and struck her.....Margaret Jones testified....On Saturday about a month since I was going through the kitchen to the tobacco shed to Mrs. Dun. She was coming back with me I was before Mrs. Dun. I heard her scream out and I turned round, I saw the prisoner striking her. I ran to her and prevented her from getting another blow. I received the blow myself. The first blow I saw was on the cheek, the second blow I believe was on the breast. I do not know what the boy said. I do not believe that he spoke. The boy said something about using an axe to Mrs. Dun some days before. Guilty. Sentenced to 12 months in an iron gang
