AN ATTEMPT TO Dr:FEJT JUSTICE Falls MATED
At the Police Court, en Tuesday, before F. D. L.
Smith, W. Bassano, E. 'Clem, U, lio,,ard, and E.
13. Phillips, Esqs., Iltnry Hall, fruiterer, Bagley
Strict; William Nock, fruitererooßambow and
Mary Jane Bar, on, a Irani. d woman, living in
Birmingham Road, Halesoviani, were ekarged on re-
mand with unlawfully wounding Thomas Firnmonde,
briekmaker Haywood Wharf, II aleso wen on the 14th
of February last_ The evidence in Via case was
taken a fortnight ago, but it was not :reijudicateal
upon owing to Mr. Gem and Mr. Philiips, who wure
then the sitting magistrates, being unable to agree
and it was adjourned nail last Tuesday in order
that it inight.be heard before a full Bench of Magis-
trates. Mr. Shakespeare, who again appeared to
defend, stated the prosecutor wistied to withdraw
from the Case. Previous to the last bearing the
prosecutor had been compensated, and any furtln r
action sheuld have been taken in the County Court.
It was the police who had taken upon themselves
to issue the summonses. Mr. Smith thought the
Bench should bear the evidence Mr. BassaLo re-
marked that there seemed to be something mysteri-
ous about the ease, and be thought, therefore, the
Bench should bear the. evidt nce. Mr. Shakt sperm)
Then I won't Say another word, sir. Presecutor
then stated that on the day in question, during a
street row, he was knocked down and received a
bad blow on the head. He had his injury dressed
at Mr. Eel's surgery, and afterwards kept his bed
for three days. Did not know who caused his
injurie4.—ln cross examination he said he thought
the injury to his head was eaußed by falling up en a
step. D:d not believe Ball kicked him Wire ss
did not wish a summons to be taken out agataLt
the defetaiant. Nock had paid him £5 as compen-
sation with which he %/MN amply seetisfied, and it
was against his wish that the prosecution was gone
..n with. the injuries he received were not sew re,
and te new felt as well, or even better, than befor.

the case to be withal awn.—Mr. Bissano sAd the
Bench would not allow it t,b s vied in that Nen)
kicking w,is almost as bad as wcunoing %%Ali a
knife. It was quite as brutal, aml aimost as
dangerous.—Mr. Smith said there bad been a most
disgraceful attemet to Lush up the case, aed
Bench would not be doing their they in allowing it
to be withdrawn. It wae; a common oceurreie.e
that town to allow cases to be compromis !d 111 a

DU tiLEY.
Fins.—About one o'clook on Thursday morning
as Police-sergeant Rudge ws passing along New—
street, Dudley, he discovered that a wooden build-
ing whit h lies a li tie back from the street, and is
used as a warehouse and workshop by Messrs. Duff
and Sons, glass arra china &Arleta, of the Market-
place, was in flames. Ike officer at once proceeded
to the police station, Lear at hand, and gave an
alarm. The members of the Police Fire Brigade
were quickly summoned, and, accompanied by a
tiody of police, proceeded, under the charge of Chief
superintendent Burton, to the scene of the fire,
taking with them the reel and portable engine.
The hose was attached to the street hydrant, and
after the fire had been played upon for about half-
an-hour it was subdued, not, however, before much
&image was dene to the building, and to a large
quantita ot the glass and china goods stored therein.
The total amount of the damage is estimated by
Mess's. Duff and Sons at .£3OO, but, fortunately it
was covered by being insured in the Norwich
kite Office. The fire is supposed to have originated
in connection with a stove in the buitding. The
fire . brigade dialYayed their usual commendable
exertion in subduing the flames althoegh they had
gained considerable headway tefor e the arrival of
the t rigade. Another disadvantage was thaL of the
building being of wood, hich had been recently
painted, or tarred, whilst inside was a large quantity
of straw, used for packing purposes. Had the flames
been ahowed to spread, probably the premises of
Mr. Clark, chemist, would have caught tire, and the
results mast then have been serious.
