Cm Wednesday, before Mr. Scott-Smith. S.M.. Dr. Ick. Hewins claimed for services to a labourer, Mr. McCormick (who defended) claimed a nonsuit on the ground that there was no such name as "Ick Hewins” on the register. The objection was overruled.
Last week, Mrs. Ick Hewins, accompanied by the doctor, entered the chemist’s shop of Mr. Cadman, and, it is alleged, attempted to horsewhip him.
A bystander, interviewed after, said several blows had been struck. In the last issue of the "Rodney Times. - ’ in a letter. Dr. Ick Hew ins stated that he was “breaking neither the iaw of God nor man. even if the ascertainable facts differed from his statement.”
Further developments are expected
