The teacher preserved the discipline OF the

quently arrested and fined by n magistrate foi
assault He appealed, and Judge Sangstcr Of
the County Court, reversed the decision of the
magistrate. Last Wednesday evening, rs Mr..
Clements was returning home from his school
house. he was met aud accostcd by Dick Neitch,
the father of the "bg boy" who inquired by
what authority Clements said that he had
beaten him in the County Court. Mr.. Clements
replied that he did so by the authority of
Judge Sangstcr himself Veitch replied that
he was - - liar" and struck Clements a
staggering blow, following it up with others.
Clements dropped his books and, squaring him
self, planted heavy blow on Veitch's nose,
which started copious stream of blood. The
men then grappled and went to the ground,
Clements being on top. Just then Constable
]. K. Mead appeared and saved Veitch from

ing them. Clements appeared at an exhibition
given by his school that evening with one eye
