—In criminal cases, a husband is permitted to testify against his wife concerning an assault upon his own person. In Greenleaf on Evidence, Sec. 343, the rule is thus stated. “ Indeed Mr. East considered it to be settled that ‘ in all cases of personal injuries committed by the husband or wife against each other, the injured party is an admissible witness against the other/ ”
Objection overruled.
(The Court gave the usual charge in assault and battery cases.)
