Last, Esq., J,P.) -Mr. James Perry, brewer, of Newcastle, appeared on summons to answer the complaint of Michael Kilfoyle for an assault on his person, by striking him with a piece of batten, on 31st October last. The plaintiff stated that he had some carpenter work to perform at the brewery, and whilst so employed a female came for some yeast, and as no one was present he went in search of the defendant, to whom he said, on meeting him at the rear of the premises, "Is this the way you keep your customers waiting?" when the defendant called witness an Irish convict. Witness replied, " If you're not belied, you were a convict yourself." On this defendant went away, and immediately returned with a piece of batten in his hand, with which he struck Kilfoyle on the hip, and knocked him down ; and whilst he lay on the ground the defendant struck him again several times with the batten. A female named Mary Pellam then deposed to having heard the complainant make use of the words, " D- your old eyes, why don't you attend to your customers?" which he addressed to the defendant. This witness added that she came away directly, and did not witness any assault. Another witness, named John Dolonald, stated that he saw Mr. Perry strike Kilfoyle, but he could not say how the row commenced. The bench, after a patient hearing of the case, sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of two pounds and the costs. The money being forth coming, the defendant was discharged.
