Some hasty words passed between them, at the con- clusion of which the defendant kicked the complainant on the knee. The com- plainant then picked up a stone in self- defence and threw it at the defendant, but, missed his mark. The defendant pushed the complainant and gave him another kick. They then closed with each other, and both fell to the ground, and rolled over and over. During the scuffle the defendant pulled the complainant's scarf to pieces, and kicked him on the head and finger. The complainant was unable, to work for four days. When cross-examined by Mr. Nicholas, complainant denied striking the defen- I dant on the side of the head. The complainant's brother said he asked the defendant for an explanation of his conduct.

David Thomas, a labourer, said he did not see the assault, but he heard Tylor shout after he had been kicked Oh, you coward; you kicked me." Witness, when lie heard this, ran to them, and shouted to a friend:- Jim, come here; these beggars are killing each other." The complainant, who was on the ground, with the defendant on top of him, shouted to witness: Dai bach, come here and stop it." Thomas Hughes, labourer, also gave evidence. Dr. Hughes spoke as to the nature of the wounds. Defendant, who said that complainant struck him first, and said he only kicked him once," was fined 30s. and costs. A HASTY ENLISTMENT.
