was glassed in a busy bar a court heard yesterday.

Shree Candace Cannonier, 27, of Lighthouse Road, St. David's, denies unlawful wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The Prosecution says mother-of-one Nina Jacobs suffered a gash just above her eye during the attack at Docksider bar in Hamilton on May 27 last year.

Ms Jacobs admitted she had whispered to Cannonier, moments before the alleged attack, "I had an exciting time with your man last night.'' But Ms Jacobs said she had hoped Cannonier would report the comment back to Kenneth Maybury, the man at the apex of the love triangle.

And she denied Cannonier had responded "I hope you enjoyed it'' during the exchange in the back bar of the Front Street venue.

The Prosecution allege Ms Jacobs walked away only for Cannonier to approach her five minutes later and utter words inches from her face.

Prosecutor Charmaine Burgess said: "After that Ms. Cannonier was seen to throw her right arm and the sound of glass hitting somebody was heard.

"As a result of it there was cut on her forehead... she was bleeding after this.'' Ms Jacobs needed stitches for the wound and said she could see the white of her skull when she examined herself in the pub bathroom.

Ms Jacobs, a programme coordinator for Bermuda International Business Association, said she had an on-going and "open'' relationship with Mr.

Maybury -- the father of her daughter -- even after the pair stopped living together and had ended their engagement.

However Ms Jacobs denied harassing and goading Cannonier after Mr. Maybury confessed he was also seeing her.

Ms Jacobs said she had been very irritated after taking the afternoon off to spend time with Mr. Maybury only to find Cannonier waiting in his car when he returned a few hours later to pick up the child.

Ms Pearman had asked: "If your relationship was so open why were you so upset about that?'' Ms Jacobs told the court she challenged Mr. Maybury, whom she had known for ten years, over why he was acting so stupidly.

However Ms Jacobs denied a claim by Defence Counsel Victoria Pearman that she had said to Cannonier: "He just left here from f**cking me and I suppose he's now taking you home to f**k you?'' Ms Jacobs said she first met Cannonier in the summer of 1999 after going to her home to retrieve her daughter after being concerned she did not have a separate bedroom to sleep in.

She denied barging into the home out of jealousy but said her first meeting with Cannonier had gone amicably.

Ms Jacobs said Mr. Maybury had told her he had a "significant relationship'' with Ms Cannonier but also that it would not affect their own relationship.

But in July the three had bumped into each other at the hospital where Ms Jacobs told Cannonier she was still involved with her ex-fiancee.

She said Cannonier had responded: "Let's settle this right now.'' The three went to a quiet area where the two love rivals swapped harsh words said Ms Jacobs.

And the Supreme Court jury of ten women and two men heard that an angry Cannonier had arrived at Ms. Jacob's Pembroke apartment at 5 a.m. on July 16, 1999.

After pushing into the room Cannonier found Mr. Maybury in bed -- she then demanded to know what was going on, the court heard.

Ms Jacobs said: "I asked them both to leave, I was concerned about my daughter. Mr. Maybury got dressed and they both left.'' Ms Jacobs said: "Mr. Maybury didn't say much, he's not one for confrontation.'' The Prosecution also said Cannonier had gone to Ms Jacob's flat in May 2000 where Cannonier again confronted the two.

"Mr. Maybury and Ms Cannonier had words -- he was frustrated so he left.'' The defence claims Ms Jacobs had repeatedly made harassing calls to Cannonier, had spread gossip about her and had tormented her by grinning at her whenever they met.

Ms Jacobs admitted smiling at Cannonier in court earlier that day but said it had been purely innocent.

Ms Pearman said: "You have made my client's life a living hell.'' The case continues today.
