        A CHRISTMAS NIGHT INCIDENT AT SUNDERLAND

        The Sunderland magistrates yesterday heard a charge of assault preferred against a mercantile Clerk named Thomas Christopher Watson, residing in North Durham Street, by his wife, Isabella Watson comma who is now living, along with her mother, at her brother in Law's at Jarrow. Mr W Kidson prosecuted. The parties have been married 15 years. During the last 9 years, Mr kidson stated, the defendant had been addicted to drink. As a consequence, he had lost several good situations, and had behave with great cruelty to his wife, who had for a long time maintained herself out of her own private income. It appears on Christmas night, about 10 o'clock, the defendant, returning home, threatened his wife that if she did not go to bed quickly he would send her to H___. He declined to allow her to leave the house and when she sought to quit it along with her three children, defendant, seizing her by the throat, knocked her onto a chair, her baby being in her arms at the time. The complainant added that the defendant swore terribly on the night in question, and having been threatened on previous occasions she now went in fear of her life. The eldest son of the couple, William Holmes Watson, gave corroborative evidence, a painful feature of the case which was commented upon by the bench. He said his father told his mother that if she did not go to bed in two minutes her soul would rot in H___, and after she had gone to bed he made her get up again and undress completely. The defendant did not offer any defence comma and a bench ordered him to find two sureties in £25 each, and he himself bound in £50, to keep the peace for 6 months, to be imprisoned in default. Defendant took the road to the cells.
