The case was then postponed till Friday. Charles Mclntyre was fined 10s. and 10s. 6d. costs for assaulting Lucy Swain by throwing a bucket of water over her.

Tiffen ■». Charlton. This was a claim for the grazing of defendant's horses at Greenmeadows. Defendant admitted the claim, but alleged as the reason of non-payment that he had Bent a foal to the place to depasture, since which time he had never seen or heard of it. He attributed the loss of the foal to negligence on the part of the plaintiff or his servants, and to their not having placed it in a paddock properly fenced. The plaintiff denied that he was responsible for horses sent to graze. The Court gave judgment for the amount claimed and costs 235. Defendant then took out a summons against the plaintiff for the value of the foal. It is set down for hearing on Friday next,
