CoNTRADIcToRY.-Last Saturday
woman came to this city from
Newcastle with little child in her
arms, and made a statement to JUS
tice Snyder that a man came to see
her about a quarrel between some
children, and abused her, splitting
in her face, and offering other indig
mites. She says he afterwards
caught her by the hair and beat
her. The trial was set for next
Wednesday at one o'clock. This
morning the man came in and told
his story to Justice Scott. He says
the woman abused him, and caught
him by the hair, when he applied
mild epithet to her, at which man
who saw the dispute, interfered and
beat him, and then pushed him in
to shanty and locked him in. The
man has several severe bruises about
the face, but the woman did not ap-
pear to be injured. Two or three
trials, and numerous fees for the
legal fraternity will probably be the
result of this little quarrel between
some children.
