delis/kV.

Complainant stated that he went te defendant's house
and presented bin bill for payment of some sewmvpers.
Mr. John Mason disputed having ormoived a Diapsia, re.
hued to pay for it, and ordure., c enplainent out of the
house. Complainant then sera, " lam out, and it may
not he long before you are out too." John Meson
then said, •• Oh, I see what you are ; come back, and I'll
pay you." Complainant returned, but, instead of re-
lying payment, ho was assaulted by the two brothers,
having his feet trodden on, arms twisted, and nose wrung.
Mr. Flowers—Them you mean to say the dedendanta had
a new way of paying their old debts!'
Mr. Solomon, who behaved in a very excited manner
during the whole proceodinga, picaluoed a certificate from
a dm tor showing the excitement produced on complainant
by the assault.
Solomon—My arm was so twisted that I could not
button my braces for a week after. Mr. John Mason said
to me, when I went to his borne, "blot out," es if I were
a dog ; but it was a very good job I was not, for I firmly
believed a dog would have turned round and bit him. I
told him I should sue him, and, as I said before and don't
mind repeating, he seemed: to derive such pleasure in
wr.nging my nose, that he pulled me backwards and for-
s+ arih. and I don't believe he would have ever let go if
the blvd had not been so slippery that his fingers slipped
off. (Loud laughter.)
Sydney Garrick deposed that he was panning by at the
time, and saw Mr. Solomon thrust, with bat nose bleeding,
from the Lamb public-house.
Mr. Flowers—The lamb is rather an odd name for the
defendant to hold if he is guilty of the assault. (A laugh.)
Mr. Child said that the assault had been entirely mis-
represented ; there was no pulling of the nose at all.
Ile complainant had behaved very badly, bawling
out in the public-house—" Are you going to pay
me; you never pay any one; but you shall
pay me ; I will sus you us the county court," and such like
enpressions. calling the defendant scoundrel, and other
not very complimentary names. A crowd had collected,
and the defendants were compelled to eject him.
After some further evidence,
Mr. Flowers said he had no doubt the assault was com-
mitted, although provoked. lie did nut think a man
would so wilfully perjure himself. George Mason
should be discharged, but John Mason must pay a
fine of 40e.
