An assault and battery case was heard
before Judge Tolman Friday afternoon.
The complainant in the case was Mr..
Patrick Killian, who charged Patrick
Quinn, a nephs W. with having committed
an assault ON him Thursday evening on
Brackett street. 1t seems that the assault
swas committed as the result of trouble of
long standing over the distribution of
certain property. Quinn, it was alleged,
became angry and landed Killian two
heavy blows under the eye. Evidently
the blows were struck as Killlan bore
evidences of the fact by cut under the
eye. The judge found the respondent
guilty of assault and imposed fine of IS
and costs, which were paid and the casa
was dismissed. Both parties to tn, as
vault are generally law abiding citizens.
