TABLES WERE TURNED.
lrascibIe Complainant Was
Fined and His Assailant
Freed.

George H. Martin, of No. 80 Morris
street. is in all probability very sorry now
that he appeared as complainant in an as
sault and battery case this morning in the
Second Criminal Court. The defendant
was Jacob Bertram. a youth who lives at
No. 5 Corbin avenue.
Martin is an elderly and somewhat iras-
ible old gentleman. He appeared in court
with the vicinity of his left eye so colored
that at distance it looked as though the
optic was covered with q green patch.
He said he was struck by young Bertram.
Martin some time ago brought suit in
the Circuit Court against Bertram' $
father for damages for alternating his
wifes affections. He did not prove his
charge and he lost his suit. He and his
wife separated and the wife lives with
Corbin avenue.
Infuriated with the loss of his suit he
frequently visits the Bertrams and gives
them unbearable tongue Iashings in Ger
man. On every such visit he creates a
big disturbance and draws a big crowd.
He made one of his periodical visits there
Sunday. He became so boisterouS that
young Bertram attempted to eject him
from the premises. The old gentlemen
in the eye.
Acting Justice of the Peace Macs heard
the case this morning. The testimony
went to show that young Bertram had
severe provocation for the assault. He
was found guilty, but sentence was sus-
pended on payment of the costs of court
He charged Martin with being disor-
derly person and Martin was fined $40
Immediately there was a circus, in
which Martin cleverly played the part of
clown. He was told to desist and was
warned that the fine would be raised to
$25 This had no effect. He walked over
to where the Bertram family was stand
ing and commenced cursing them in
Dutch The Acting Justice ordered him
taken down below and placed in a cell.

We have received a petition from a
considerable number of my subjects re-
siding in the South African Republic
praying my assistance to obtain a reniov-
al of grievances and disabilities of which
they complain. The position of my SUBJ
jects in the South African Republic is in
consistent with the promise of equal
treatment whereon my grant of internal
independence to that Republic was found
ed, and the unrest caused thereby is
constant source of danger to the peace
and prosperity of my dominions in South
Africa. Negotiations on this subject with
the Government of the South African
Republic have been entered into and are
still proceeding
Another paragraph deals with the satis-
factory reports of the recovery OF the
agriculture and trade of India from the
depression caused by the famine and, it
adds, fears are now entertained of the
prospects of the haryests in western and
central India, owing to the insufficient
rainfall, though the officials are taking
timely precautions to meet any scarcity.
The speech then reads
Il regret to add that the plague. though
still confined to the total of 199 areas af-
fected during the winter, shows no sign
of abatement"
The speech thanks the Commons for the
lberality with which they have provided
for the naval and military defense of the
Empire, and concludes with reference to-
the benefits which may be expected from
the domestic legislation passed.
