assaulting Henry Jerden, of 8, Cottage-place, Bell-
street, Westminster. _ _

The male defendant was employed some years
ago at the Chartered Gas Works. On. Friday there
was a " turn out" at the works for wages, which
Jerden did not join, but continued at his work, and
in the evening of the same day he was passing
along the Horseferry-road, when he met the defen-
dants, with whom he never had a word nor any
difference in his life. Without the slightest provo-
cation the male defendant struck him and knocked
him into the road, and he and his wife then threw
themselves upon him, and she scratched his face.
In reply to the magistrate, complainant said they
appeared to be under the influence of drink. lie
could not tell what defendants assaulted him for.
They were with a great number of the " turn out"
men at the time, but no words passed about the
" turn out." He had no personal desire to press the
charge, but his employers had wished him to do so.
The male defendant declared he was on the best
terms conceivable with complainant. He (defen-
dant) had not assaulted him ; it was the " drop
taken" that had done it.
Mrs. Sheehan declared that she was so much
under the influence of liquor as not to remember
anything about it.
Mr. Arnold said if he thought this had anything
to do with the " turn out" he should either punish
the defendants very severely or send them to the
sessions. Men were not to be beaten and ill-used
because they preferred working to joining a set of
discontented persons. As, however, the male de-
fendant had not made use of any expression, when
committing the assault, about the " turn out," he
(Mr. Arnold) must treat the matter as a common
assault.

The male defendant was fined 205., or 14 days,
and ordered to enter into recognisances for him
own and his wife's good behaviour for the next
three months.
