Bohan', sod B. Hopkins, &gra Charles Beale was
summooed by Bernard H all. with the view of haring him
bound over to keep the pesos, and there was a moor.
summooL—Mr. Street appeared for Beale, and Mr.
H. George for Hall.—Mr. G. nu said his client was
an apprentlee at the 0.-operative Stores, and Beale •
Porter there. On We inesday last, without any canes,
Beale took a large chew knife and male tip to Hall,
threatening to do for him. His client was exceedingly
frightened, in fact, t, use hie own term, be lost him.

woman there also saw whet was done, sad was so
frightened that eke oould not recover herself for the
rest of the day. But some little time after this 13esle
used similar threats towards Hall, and he now asked
that be might be bound over to keep the pesos.—
Barnard, son of Thomas Hall, sold he had served as
apprentice to the 00-operetive Society for four years,
and Beale was • porter there. On Wednesday last, se
he was serving • customer, Beale came round the
eounter with a abeam-knife, • large formidable
weapon, and said "You —' I will do for you.'
Witness went round the counter, en Beale followed
. .

him, when witness exo amid— "Charlie, whit
ars you up to?" He was dodo up to him
then, with the cheese-knife and put it towards, him
threateningly, and complainant was very much
frightened, and almost loot his senses for the moment.
Beale had repeated this, and complainant went is
bodily fear that Beale would do him some Injury unless
restrained. He had not given him ary previous pro-
vocation or cause to do as he had. Mrs. Hurst wee
there at the time.—Crow-examinad : He believed that
some time ago he ant Beale were good friends. Had
not had any quarrel. Had not been in the habit of
shouting after him In the street. Had taken a joke
and gives one, but had never bawled or called after
defendant, and had threatened to do for him.—
Mrs. Jemima Hurst, a widow living in Burdon'o
buildings, was in the shop of the (Jo-operative Society
last Wednesday morning, about 25 minutes to 10. As
she entered she saw this young man (Beale) with a
knife in his hand threatening to kill Hall ; be ran after
him with tin knife and followed him about, brandish-
ing it, and be used such expressions as that he would
have his life and out his head off. Witness thought it
was play tIU he saw the expression of his eye, when she
saw he looked excited, and it gave her quite a turn,
from whish she had not recovered yet. Hell at first
thought it was play; but when Beale followed him
round the counter, he turned very pale. Had
known Hall except by going into the shop. She
111111 a customer. She bad never beard Hall jeer
at Beale. Charles New said that on the

aftWThr.ooonir;ince—tiey had al-peciii
meeting of the Co-operative Society's committee, and
Hall was before the committee. Hall was stating to
the oommittee what occurred when Beale threatened
his life with the knife, and when he said Beals
threatened to do for him. Beale added—" Yes, and I
will do so." Witness called Beals's attention to the
serious words he had used, and said "You will hang
yourself," when Beale replied—" Yse, and I will do
It if Hall does it again."—Mr. Street said it was the
fact, as the mitoses had stated, that • meeting was
held of the committee, and that his talent was repri-
manded; but that ought not to have any effect on the
magistrates' minds, and be must find fault with Mr.
George for producing such evidence, bemuse the
tendency of it was to produce a certain amount of
prejudice.—ln answer to Mr. Landis, the witness sal
he had heard that the apprentice had been taunting
Beale, calling him various names, and inciting the
children to do so. It was considered in committee
that they were SIMMS as bad as each other—Mr.
Landis: In fact the porter had been worried.—Mr.
Street: Will you kindly ask Mr. New whether Kr.
, Hall did not say before the committee he had done
nothing of the kind /—Witness : Yes, Hall said before
the committee that they had joked each other; but he
had done nothing to annoy him.—Mr. Street appeared
on behalf of Beals, and said his defence was very
simple ; it was a case of the application of • very old
saying--six of one and half-s.-don= of the other, and
they would bear that he had issued a summons against
Hall for doing much the same thing. Beide was • boy
of very excitable temperament, be had not had the
advantage of parents' care, as some of us had. and
Hall gas led him. He contended that if one man was
bound over, Mr. George's should be also.—Mr.
George would not consent to this. and Mr. Street
tolled evidence.—Williarn Rashhaigh, manager of the
Co-operative Stores, Parkotresit, said they employed
many Lands, and among them both complainant
and defendant. He could give them both • very good
character. Beals had frequently complained to him
of the treatment of Hall, and witness had cautioned
Hall not to oall him names, and not to tell other
children to do so. Had known Basle for nine years,
and considered him to be • lad of good character, could
give him 18 months' good character hiroself.—Ornes-
examined : Had cautioned Hall bef•noi and since
Christrnae he was frequently carrying on with
Charles.had threatened Beale to suspend him and
being him before the committee, and that stopped it
then, in the shop--Mr. B. J. Wright, grocer, ko., said
defendant Beals was in his employ for four years, and
conducted himself to his satisfaction, and he left with
• good character.--Crose-examined : He left because
he was unwell. He was s very quiet boy, if you lethbe
alone; but if the boys exasperate him, he was the same
as the rest —On the summons against Hall, Beale was
called, and said he had known lHall since the spring
when he oaine—two or three years ago. They were
once very friendly, but fell out lately. On Christmas
Ire they were working together, when some children
came into the shop, and Hall told them they all knew
what Seale wee: he was soft. Complainant told hice
II he did not be quiet, he would tell Mr. Raskieigh.
Just after Christmas, Hall took • butter knife in his
hand, and said he would run him throurh. He did not
say anything ilia --Crow-examined : You say in the
summons that on the 24th December Christmas Bra,
you were in the shop together; now ball the attention
of the Beath to the fact that that was Sunday.—Mr.
Street said there was nothing in the objection, his
client had mistaken the dete.—Mr. George repeated
that the data named was the 24th, which was Sunday,
and he also elicited that Beale was not afraid for his
life now.—Mr. Talbot said this was a very serious
Beale, aid be mint be very cautious
hhloitle Tot d* his temper, for this was evidently
pleas of temper in this cane—and in future be must
have command over himself, or be would get into very
great trouble. The decision was that he be bound over
in 210 himself, and • surety is 85, to keep the peace
for three months ; the other case would be dismissed.
To Hall also the Bench wish to give • caution; he
should not irritate his fellow-countrymen, but try to
restrain himself. —A householder became bound for
Beale.
