The conviction was upheld because the evidence of repeated beatings by the appellant, observed bruising and admissions was sufficient to prove an assault likely to cause unnecessary injury without medical evidence; although procedural irregularities and documents on the file were undesirable they were not fatal; the sentence of six months was excessive and was reduced to three months' imprisonment suspended for two years.
