Thursday, before the Mayor (Mr. H. Gunlen), and Mr. T.
H. Bennett, Archibald Kmas was summoned for a
disgraceful assault on two young women, in the service of
Mrs. Tregonwell King. on Sunday evening last. Mr. W.
H. Atkinryon appeared for the csymplainants. From the
evidence of Charles Ilenville and Arthur Gill it seemed
that defendant with his wife and a young woman were
returning from a walk, near the bridge they met com-
plainants, who stood aside to allow Evans and his party to
pass. Instead of doing no, however, defendant on getting
tip to them pushed Louisa Carter into the road, and struck
Fanny Dove a violent blow in the eye, and went away.
For the defence, Joseph Deane was paled, who said Fanny
Dove struck Evans a blow in the (ace; he was several
yards off, but beard the blow. The young woman, who
was with defendant and his wife at the time, said she did
not see Evans strike Dove ;he asked them very civilly to
allow him to pass. The Bench sentenced defendant to a
month's imprisonment with hard labour.
