A FAMILY QUARREL-An elderly man named Abraham
Templeman (a half cDloured man), charged his son Abra-
ham, and his daughter Elizabeth, with having assaulted
him. Mr. Bluck was for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobb

qa_ently. arrested on the charge. On this showing, his
Worship did not think the case made out, and therefore
discharged the prisoners.
