Judgment was reserved in the Appellate Division of the Provisional Court on July 18 afternoon in the appeal lodged by Mrs. Lifshitz, for Sammy Baxt, nephew, against the sentence of three nionths imposed by the Court of First Instance upon Mis Senna, un unrecognized Portugvese iti, on a charge of assault with Intent to murder, following family dispute over a cat and a dog."

Mr. A. Ivanow represented the appellant and said that, as Sammy Baxt had been permanently deformed as a result of the assault, he would press for a heavier vontence.

After serving a month of her sentence, Miss Senna applied to the Court for commutation of the Valance of her sentence into fine at the rate of one dollar per sta and the Court granted the uppl tion.
