Witnesses in Assault Cases
Witnesses in Assault Cases.
Chap. 18.—in a summary trial for common assault the defendant or the husband or wife of defendant is a competent witness. If upon a trial for a higher offence without a jury, the Court is of opinion that the case is really only one of common assault, the defendant or wife or husband may be called as a witness.
