A rumour of such an extraordinary character reaches me that I can scarcely credit it. It is to the effect that, had an assault taken place on Monday, and police court proceedings ]. been instituted, the affair was to be "squared." Two J.P's., whom I have somehow offended, friends of the attacker*, were to sit on the Bench and inflict a nominal fine of 20s. and costs, whilst the battered about editor was to be severely reprimanded. That such boasts can be made in the open street only shows to what lengths certain influential and "much respected', citizens imagine they can go.
