I de S et ux. v. W de S
F: W, with force and arms, did make an assault on M and beat her. W came at night to the house of I and sought to buy wine, but door was shut and he beat upon the door with a hatchet, and M put her head out of the window and told him to stop, and he saw and struck with the hatchet but did not hit M.
I: Whether W tried to hit M, but in vain, can be considered ...........element in establishing assault
R: P may recover damages for assault though no physical injuries are shown
