1897, your, committee would respectfully
report.
this MATTER, one of which was at School
NO. IA. We have heard the statements
of all the parties and the witnessI called,
making fourteen persons in all.
The statements of the witnesses, several
OF whom saw the occurrence referred to,
do not sustain the charge of assault.
III witnesses mentioned by Richard,
as ready to confirm his statements and
called in his behalf, deny many of the
statements made by him, and say that
tho. saw no assault made and also deny
the offensive language mentioned by him.
Some of the statements made by the
boy at. the first, were afterwards aban-
doned by him.
1t is clear to your committee that on
the occasion referred to, Richard was
moved by the Principal; that owing to
his resistance to such removal some force
was necessary and was properly used by
nova
No other punishment thar the removal
was administered and no assault was
made.
Richard was then ordered by the Prin-
cipal to remain in the room to which he
mad been taken, but when the Principal
was out of sight Richard left the room
and Went nome. He soon returned for his
books, and boosted to the janitor that he
Principal. and told him that he. the
~Janitor, would learn all about it when it
came out in court.
Your committee learn that Richard has
a pad record as a troublesome and dis
orderly boy in school, and this is not the
first occasion of his making trouble in
this school,.
Your committee exonerate the PRINCIPAL
from blame in this matter.
Respectfully submitted,
