nor was one of the party present, but was not the man
who threw the brick. Mr. Spooner said if the prisoner
liked to give woman £lO and pay costs, he was willing
the case should be settled, for the purpose of the woman
to have the money, as she had been seriously injured.
Mr. Homfray said the prisoner was a very poor man, and
he could not pay that amount, but it a smaller sum was

seriously injured, and he should fine the prisoner £lO
and coats-13; in default four months' hard labour.—
The money was paid.
