were • good many persons. I kept back a little
end let the Semen paw. The main body charged the
people but some of them turned aside towards the town.
The main body ran towards the people, who ran towards
the Bridport rood. I noticed two or three men meeting •
navvy toward. Poisodbury, and Wu, • stick from him, and
then run towards the Bridpart road. I think the principal
pert of the farmers went towards the trees. hollowed atter
acne the Ikeda, following the men who had best the navvy
toward.. the Buchan road. They were lankier oat in the

or a stick that had • crook to it. I saw distiastiy the blow ;
it was rev. n en the left ede of the head, the pergola running
sop to hiss when 4 or 6 yards from the boy. Appareotly the
boy was looking at him when struck. Directly alter the
Wow was struck he ran down the bank Into the road I
think. I cannot say, for I turned rustic: sad
lest sight of him. I turned round, fearing some
ear was pith to strike me. At that use I
did tot know who the perm. was. I eta up

asked if be boy woe Iliad. Mr. Brake din up meths time.
I kicked round and directly recognised the intone of the

boy at the time, about three or four yarns from Bvike. Fair-
ies that he would strike me, I went round to the back of the
hey and did sot see him alter. I knew Mr. Brake; had
asein him libertine, in the market. I saw him in the
