Mrs. Benemelis claims to be the agent for the house occupied by Mr. Crandall, and the assault was the result of his removing "To Let" bills that had been tacked up. Mr. Crandall was arrested on a charge of assault made by Mrs. Benemelis. The case was adjourned by Justice Hendrickson until the 20th inst.
