Disgraceful Affair: At Coventry City Police Court; George Atkins, watch manufacturer, Jane Stevens, and Martha Atkins, all residing in Fleet Street, were summoned with having, on the 24th ult., assaulted Margaret Mullins. The defendants pleaded not guilty. A cross summons was taken out against Margaret Mullins, for assaulting one Martha Atkins, at the same time and place. She pleaded not guilty. Mr. Homer appeared for the girl Mullins, and Mr. Nathan, barrister, Birmingham instructed by Messrs. Barlow, Smith, and Pinsent, of Birmingham, appeared to prosecute. … But Mrs. Atkins said that in the kitchen Margaret Mullins pushed her against the wall, and some time afterwards she was knocked down. There was no reason why the defendant should have struck the old lady in the way she did, and in this instance, there would be a conviction, and Margaret Mullins would be fined 10s for the assault, or in default, one month’s imprisonment. The cross-summons would be dismissed. [domestic dispute].
