Henry Leach of Westfeld was ar
raigned before Justice Paine, last
week, for an assault on j. Blake,
who teaches in Westfield. States
Attorney Baldwin was present for
the state, and Leach was fined So
and costs, amounting to $13. The
cause of the assault was the punish
ing of friend of Leach by the teach
er. Leach undertook to correct the

not safe to swarm up" a teacher,

ing pupils.
