plelnant, hie son, and Mrs. Notley (the defendant),
were out in their respective gardens. Complainant
asked defendant what land she claimed, and instead of

so far as the evidence had gone that obtuse of the Ad
did mot apply. In areseezamination complainant said
he did not see his son strike defendant. William
Carter, on behalf of complainant, said he had always

would not interfere in the matter. When he caught

plainant out of smut. He would trouble the Bench to
take a note of his objection. He maintained that the
defendant was gaits justified in resisting the encroach-

nature of the evidence he had to bring for the defence, if
the Booth coseldered it requisite. The Chairman, after
