Opinion

The Court admitted the law to be so, but left it to the jury to say whether it applied to the present case, observing they were the proper judges from all the facts and circumstances in evidence before them, whether they amounted to an assault and battery or not.

The jury retired, and in half an hour returned with a verdict—not guilty.
