Magis- trate R. B. Dnieper who had presided over the trial which ran into three days, found Shir- ley Cammack not guilty of as- saulting Thomas Cammack and Mrs. Doreen Bainbridge and also found Doreen Bainbridge not guilty to assaulting Shirley Cammack. The charges and counter- charges arose out of a melee at the home of Edward and Thomas Cammack's mother near Claremont on Aug. 23. Armed with a court order from the Family Court at Whitby, Shirley Cammack had attended Suspend Sentence For Assault On Wife at the home to retrieve her four- month-old baby which had been granted to her custody that morning.

Shirley Cam- mack was later taken to the Oshawa General Hospital for two days to recover from a deep gash cut in her forehead and other bruises and scratches. Thomas Cammack told the court this week that he had also visited a doctor for treatment of a cut on the lip and a shoulder bruise, both of which, he said, had been inflicted by Shirley Cammack.
