I High words between two waterside workers led through threats and blows to a case at the Magistrate's Court this morning, in which Thoinae Otvens proceeded against Martin M'Gov srn for assault. The dispute arose out of the handling of cargo being taken out ot the hold of the s.s. Futiki on Friday last, M'Qovern claiming this morning that Owen's method of handling a winch endangered the men working on the wharf. He admitted that he lost his temper, and, going on deck, struck Owen with his open hand, but denied that a severe blow was struck. Mr. S. E. M'Carthy, S.M., after reviewinp the evidence, said that it appeared to him that the complainant might have been a little more gracious about the matter, but that was no reason why a conviction should not be returned; Defendant was fined ! 10s, with costs 335.
