Orceaexandoed : Did not know what they said about the
debt ; it wasn't his business to listen. Mr. Matthews
hollowed out to lloaeybun—" You shall pay for it," loud
enough for anyone to hear if they were 'leaf. Saw
Honeybun with a .f. 5 note in his band; but did not hear
Maataaaa aay he could change • .C.; note as well as any-
body if people would pay' their de —Mr. Hattie, in
defence, said that shortly before this happened bad been
the paytime of the steamer Company, and that was how
Honeybun hal became possessed of a £5 nose at that time
He asked Mrs Bashley to change it, when Matthews
remarked—" jim! I could change a Co note as well as
anybody, if people would pay their debts." Honer bun
turned to Mathews, and said—" Do I owe you anything r
and Matthews replied—" Your *ife does." Honeybun
said—" This is a pretty place to tell me what my wife
owes,"they quarrelled, and Honeybun struck at Matthews',
but George Honeybun, his cousin, came between and
received the blow. lloneybun, the defendant, was charged
with assault and battery; but there was no battery in
this case—George Ifoneybun's evidence supported Mr.
llama's statement, and he said Matthews pushed his face
towards defendant, and sail "You strike me r Defendant
struck at ham; hut witness *Lapel between, and
defendant did not hit Matthews at all. Did not see any
blood come out of Matthews's mouth; but saw • glass at
beer upset. —William Stanley, a tall young fellow, heard
• 'very heavy" conversation between the parties.abouts

—" Now hit me, and I'll make you pay for it r If
Matthews's mouth was bleeding, he must have hit it
against the door when he went out. Witness was tall

Matthewis mouth bleeding, as he thought, from a blow,
but saw no swelling. In answer to the Bench, the
Mtut said, from his experien a, he thought Matthews

an assault committed ; but as they also thought there had
been considerable provocation, they only tined defendant

sewage of tbi. town ohould be diroctod to the oast.
Mr. ROIUDIS thought his resolution ~it show the
Government Board are in earned.
Mr. WELerOAD moved • resolution—
"That a competent 'Mantle gentleman be appointed
to thoroughly examine the Backwater, for the purpcwe of
ascertaining whather any Cod what deposits are taking
place, and whether the allowing of the as wage to discharge
itself mat present is attended with any injurious *Beck
or whether it Ls 'Asir to be so in the future."
He wialuad the matter to be out beyond a mrabt, for it was
of the utmost importance Weymouth should not hare the
slightaot stain, as hod been attempted to be thrown on its
character. Lmk at the effect of such an accusation in
another place—Hyde, where, not on amount of sewage,

discharge of sewage into the Harbour to be perfectly
Innecnom but in order to put all doubt aside, be asked
them to employ A scientidic person, who had no prejudice

Mr. WEBB supported Mr. Habeas remark that the
sewage counts front parts of the two which the Local
Booth and the law do not allow to discharM into the
Backwator. If the analyst in brought while these drains
are running we shall surely be condemned ; but the
drainage of these places is diverted and discharged as the
M.PortY holders are bound bylaw to do, the nuisance will
be gated.
