The Row at the FOrks.

ASSAULT ON A BROTHER.

Before Messrs Hugo Friedlander am' Alfred Harrison, .Justices of the Peace, this morning, Matthew Patterson was charged with having seriously assaulted his brother Robert Patterson, at their residence, Ashburton Forks, on Saturday, February 27. Patterson had been re manded from a previous sitting of the Court, and Mr Purnell appeared for the defence. The Police had laid a charge against Matthew Patterson for having j been guilty of an indictable offence, but ' elected to proceed against the accused summarily, and for the prosecution called Robert Paterson, who said that on the Saturday of the Flower Show witness went home m the evening. He found his brother near the gate of the house. There was a disagreement between his mother and one Alexander —a case arising out of which had been heard the previous Friday. Witness did not see his brother present at the row, but when witness interfered to prevent Alexander striking his mother, he was knocked down and kicked on the head. He believed it was his brother who kicked him. He was kicked on the head several times. Was rendered un conscious, and when he came round found that several threshing machine men, who had come to thresh the crop, were dressing his head., Did not see his brother, only heard him come behind ; dared not look round because he had Alexander m front to contend witli. By Mr Purnell—Had beea m town from eleven o'clock on the Saturday The evening before Mat brought five gallons of beer, but witness had none of it. Had two drinks of beer at the house on Saturday morning, and three drinks i.a the town. Was quite sobev when he reached home on Saturday evening. Was on the road when he was knocked down, and was lying on the ground when lie wae struck on the back of the head. Was not down while struggling with Alexander, who did not strike witness. Was m fact assaulting Alexander, and not Alexander assaulting him. Had not been fighting with his brother previous to this. By the Bench—There were only his mother, his brother, and Alexander pre sent, and as the latter was m front of wit ness it could only have been Mat that came behind and struck him. ; Andrew McOonochie farmer lived near the Pattersons. On the night of the 27th he went over to the house when there was a ''barney" going on, Bob was lying on the verandah bleeding, and Mat gaye 5 him a kick, but witness could not say whether the kick was inflicted on Bob's head or his body, Mat kicked at him two or three times, but witness could not say -whether the kicks took effect. Told Mat he should drop it, and Mat said he would, but his temper got the better of him and he went at him again. The reason why witness did not stop Mat was that he was not able. If witness had been twenty years younger Mat would not have done it, but it was no use for an old man like him—seventy eight—going into a row he could not get out of. Did not see anything m Mat's hand, and did not know what they had been quarrelling about. By Mr Purnell—Did not know what boots Mat was wearing when he kicked his brother. By the Court—Bob's eyes were closed when he saw him on the verandah, and he did not speak, but moved slightly as if m great pain. Did nob kaow whether he was unconscious. James Miller, carpenter, said he went to Patterson's huuse with a threshing j machine on Saturday evening, February ; 27. Mrs Patterson was screaming, and when witness and the others with the machine got up to the lioue Bob was lying on the verandah, bleedingand suffer- j ing from serious wounds on the head and .face. Witness washed and dressed the wounds. Mar, was using bad language, and witness threw a bucket of water over jhim. He had a knife m his hand, which witness and his mates took from him. After Mat got the bucket of water over him he was told to clear, .and he did clear. Bab was put to bed after he recovered, and witness stayed with him at his request. By Mr Purnell—Did not see the knife when he arrived, but saw it after a bit before the bucket of water was thrown. Walter Parker, laborer, was going to Patterson's place with the threshing machine, when cries of murder were heard. He went over with Miller to the house, and found Bob Patterson lying bleeding on the verandah with Mat standing near by. The latter said he was not done with his brother yet, and would — well murder him if he had to be hung for it. Witness told him to be quiet, or he would get into trouble. Mat used bad language, and took out a knife; which witness and the others took from him, witness throwing him down for that purpose. The accused's mother was not called. Mr Purnell animadverted strongly on the conduct of the police m this matter. They had first laid a charge against Matthew Patterson of having been guilty of an indictable offence. This they had withdrawn, and laid a charge of a far milder description against him, but mean while th« man had been working at his ordinary avocation, and had been arre&ted while driving his team, handcuffed, and taken to gaol. Mr Purnell dwelt on the fact that the only really independent wit ness —the mother—had not been called m Court. The Sergeant said his explanation of why the mother was not called was that the case was strong enough against Matthew without her evidence, and she was not called simply out of consideration for her years and her relation to the parties. Mr Purnell contended that the whole thing was simply a drunken row. There were five gallons of beer m the house, which had been m free use. Alexandei was there as Matthew's guest, and Robert Patterson assaulted him. Matthew at tacked his brother m defence of his guest. Robert appeared to be most hurt, but really was not seriously so, and tin whole thing was merely a drunken row. Fcr the defence, he called John Alexander, who said he had been invited to Patterson's house to inspect, ;\ riding saddle which Mat wanted him tc buy. ° He «aye witness a bottle of beer. Mat and his mother went out to milk the cows, &nd witness went down with them. Bob came out after him, and began tc strike at witness. He struck at witness three times, and witness tripped and fell Mrs Patterson took the bottle out oi witness' pocket and struck him with it Mat came to witness' rescue. Sarah Ann Patterson said her soi Matthew was wearing an old pair of fin< elastic side boots the night of the row the toes being out of one of them. Coul< not tel which of her sons struck first, bu did not see Robert strike Matthew After Robert got up he went to the ver andah, and Matthew was not up until h got; there, because Matthew and witnes were away with the cows. Matthew bea Robert on the verandah, but Rober never rose. The Chairman of the Bowh, M Friedlander, said the evidence r Macunachie and Parker was clear enoug as to the assault, which was a v<r cowardly one upon his o\<rn b .'other. 11) police were lenient m withdrawing th charge as an indictable offence, for had been pioceeded with the Bench wou certainly have committed accused f> trial. As it was, they found him gmli and sentenced him to two months' m: prisomnent with hard. labor.

SANDER AND "SONS EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.—In protection of the world wide fame our manufacture has acquired all over the globe, we publish the following :— Hazard, M.D., Professor of General Patho logy and Diseases of the Mind and Nervous System, says m an editorial published m tne " Clinical Record ":—" We have examined half-a-dozen specimens of different manufac tures; the preparation of Sander and Sona was the only one that proved to_ be reliable and corresponding to scientific tests." Another concoction called "Refined Extract of Eucalyptus" has made its appearance since. This product stands, according to Dr Owen, foremost m causing injurious effects. That gentleman communicates, at a meeting of the Medical Society of Victoria, that a child living at Fitzroy became most seriously indisposed through its use. In another case a lady states on the strength of statutory declaration that she suffered cruelly from the effects of the same concoction. To guard the high reputation of our manufacture we feel warranted m expoing the above facts, and desires the public to exercise care and precaution when buying, SANDER, and SONS.—(Advt.) 7
