It appeared that at about 10 o'clock on Sunday night the
prisoner with his laodlady and her son and daughter were
on the platform at the Cbaring.crons station waiting for a
train, when the two young m•n, having both bad "•
little drop," began to spar at each other—not quar-
relling, but for amusement. Mr. Yocm, the platform
inspector, had told them that wee not a proper
for such amusement, especially on Sunday.
ctici. prisoner said him who he was to interfere
with them, and continued hie rough play. As a
train wee approaching the station, and the pr'
was dangerously Deer the edge of the p form,
the impactor, alarmed last he should fall off
and be crushed under the engine, laid hold
of him, and forcibly separated him from the other young
man, and got him farther from the edge. The primmer
etruggled with increased violence, and attempted to throw
him down, but himself lost his balance and fell on the plat-
form. As in his straggles he was again io danger, being
near NUN off, the collector came to Mr. Young's assist-
ance, and it was se much as they could do to keep him
back front the edge. He struck the collector, ■nd kicked
the inspector as be lay on the platform.

no more fore, than was neesseary for the protection of
the
chea prisoner's own life. They denied having knelt upon
hie t.

Mr. Flowers said it was elesr that the prisoner wan the
worse for liquor, and had conducted himself as be probably
