Martin was charged on the information of Wm de B. Compton, poundkeeper, with having used abusive and threaten-, ing language. Mr Crisp appeared for Compton, Mr Purnell for defendant. From the evidence it appeared that Compton had impounded Martin's cattle, and some days afterwards the two met in a hotel in Ashburton. Words arose, and Compton in his evidence stated that Martin used very abusive language towards him. Martin and another witness denied that any abusive language had been used towards Compton. The case was dismissed.
