We had been to the Pavilion, and called my cousin out of the public-house; I was shoved up against the prosecutrix, and she tore at me, and tore my bonnet and cap, scratched my face, bit my hand, and ill-used me scandalously, and then she called the policeman and gave me in charge. Turner's Defence. When I came out of the public-house I saw one of the females tearing Sykes's bonnet off; I went and picked it up; I found the cap torn all to pieces; I picked up one flower, and pinned it in; I tried to get Sykes away, but could not; the policeman took her; they all struck at her, and the man kicked me; I deny striking either of them, or taking anything; if I had been guilty I should not have gone to the station.
