Assault On Wife
At the Folkestone Petty Sessions on Tuesday, before Councillor W J Harrison (in the chair), councillor E T Morrison, Councillor C Ed Mumford, and the Rev H Epworth Thompson.
Neibo Gregerson was summoned for assaulting his wife, Mrs Gregerson, on July 20th. He pleaded not guilty.
Mr G W Haines appeared for the complainant, and said the parties were married in 1914. They had been unhappy together, and the defendant had assaulted his wife on several occasions.
Mrs Gregerson said she lived at East-cliff, and since 1916 she had paid the rent and rates of the house. In January this year her husband gave her a few shillings, but she had no money from him since. In February he left town, ostensibly to seek work, and she had only seen him about once a month since. He rarely came home sober, and was cruel and abusive to her. On July 20th he came to the house drunk, abused her, hit her with both fists on the arms and face, giving her a black eye, and finally picked up the garden fork, which, however, was taken from away from him by Mrs Barton, a neighbour. She went in fear of him.
Flora Barton, 19, East-cliff, said she was called to No. 20, where she found defendant hitting his wife with both fists and threatening to murder her. He picked up the garden fork, but witness took it away from him.
By the Magistrates' Clerk: Defendant smelt very strongly of drink.
Defendant said his wife had forced this on him, and had always done so ever since they were married. She had tried her utmost to upset him and make him go away. He struck her in self-defence, as his wife struck him. He came to the house for his food card, and to see the boy, for whom he had brought a pair of boots.
Defendant was fined £1, or month in default, and was ordered to pay £1 1s costs.
