Walker, Henry Cranston, nun John Cranston were then
charged by John Southall with assaulting him on the 15th
ult. Complainant said he was in the habit of putting his
iron against the wall of his mother•inlaw's house, and
had done so for the last twenty years. Edward Walker
came out and complained of the iron being there. Wit-
ness told him that if it annoyed him lie would take it
awny, bat Edward Walker htruck him a blow on the eye,
and caught hold of him by the coat. Witness's son tried
to interfere, and Walker caught hold of him by the waist-
coat. Henry Cranston followed bins, struck him on the
hack with a stick, and said he would kill him. Henry
Cranston followed hum into his own house and threw
some brick ends at him, John Cranston saying, "Fetch
the h—r out, and kill him.- At the time William
Walker was standing against the door, William Cranston
threw the brick which caught John Crauston on the
head. The brick glanced off into the window. Felix
Walker was present at the time, and threatened to shoot
him, and threw brick ends through the window. There
were nine panes of glass broken, besides some of the
wood walk. Henry Cranston afterwards struck witness
with a piece of wood across the back, and he was dragged
all about the garden.—Charles Southall said that he
placed the iron against the wall on the above date, and
he saw Edwerd Walker come and throw the iron down,
and then strike his father on the eye. John Cranston
came running down the garden saying "Fetch them out
of the house, and kill them." Will swear my father did

He saw Edward Walker and John Southall struggling.
Hoary Cartwright gave evidence to the effect that he
sew a brick thrown which hit John Cranston's head.
Mary Ann Southall proved seeing the brick thrown ; as
did also Mary Harrison. Felix Walker said that William
Walker picked up a brick and beat John Cranston with
it, sad cut his head open. He efterwards struck him.

did not strike agile—William Cranston was then charged
by Ann Walker with assaulting her at the same time.

across the back. Mary Ann Heines was called Is con,.

—Selina Walker was then charged by Charlotte Walker
with assaulting her at the same time. Complainant said
that defendant caught her by the hair of the head, pulled
it, and threw her down. The Bench then retired for a
short time. On rstarning Mr. H. 0. Eirmether said the
