Bench of Magistrates. THURSDAY, AUG. 11. ASSAULT AND BATTERY. Thomas Biggers stood charged on Oath by Thomas Green, a Constable for the District of Hawkesbury, with violently assaulting him on the night of Saturday, the 6th instant. On his Examination the deponent stated, that on the aforesaid evening he found John Holbert, one of Mr. Palmer's labourers in a state of intoxication off his master's premises; and that considering it his duty to conduct him home, he accordingly did so; that Mr. Biggers saw and accosted him on the farm, desiring to know what business the deponent had there, and received for answer that he only came to see a servant of the farm safely home, whom he had picked up in a state of inebriety ; that Mr. Biggers then approached the deponent, to whom he applied many opprobrious epithets, and afterwards repeatedly kicked him. Nicholas Crosby deposed, that Green had come upon the farm in the manner above stated ; that he heard B. demand of him what business he had there ; and that after receiving Green's answer he kicked him once in his presence. Thomas M'Caver corroborated the fore-going evidence, adding also, that he saw the Complainant receive several kicks, and much abusive language from Thomas Biggers. …..
