" COAXING " EXTRAORDINARY.—At the Halstead
Petty &visions a few days ago, one George Whiting was
charged with assaulting the parish constable whils• in the
discharge of his duty. A witness who undertook to explain
the circumstances of the affray—which it set ms took place
in a public-house—said that the disturbance began by the
landlady refusing Whiting some beer without the money.
Whiling then gave her a " coax " on the face, and also
" coaxed " a man who was near. Mr. Sheppard (who ap-
peared for the defendant)—What is a coax ; was it a kiss ?
Witaess—lf I gave you a slap you wouldn't call it a kiss.
(Laughter.) For this rough cajolery Whiting was sent to
prison for 21 days.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
