A THIRTY-EIGHT-YEAR-OLD woman of Lot 110 Second Street, Alexander Village, Georgetown, was placed on $20,000 bail by Magistrate Geeta Chandan-Edmond on assault and abusive language charges yesterday.Marcia Philips pleaded not guilty to both charges, which said that on March 1 at Second Street, Alexander Village she assaulted Francina Lynch, so as to cause her actual bodily harm.

Particulars of the other charge said that on February 23 at the same place, she made use of abusive language, where a breach of the peace may be occasioned.
Police Corporal Jomo Nichols, prosecuting, said the facts are as charged and did not object to the pretrial liberty of the defendant.
Phillips manages a business owned by her parents at Maraj Building on Charlotte and King Streets, Georgetown and will make her next court appearance on April 7.
