ASHBURTGN—THURSDAY

Bdov C. A. Wray, Esq., S.M )

All Over Eightrbspbnce Change - Andrew Young charged Mary Ann Kane with having damaged property belonging to him, namely a pair of scales, etc , and further with having assaulted him by striking him on the head with a Bcale weight Mary Ann Kane charged Andrew Young with having assaulted her by striking her on the eye with a stick. The cases were decided to be heard together, and the-charge against the woman was dealt with first, Mr Outhberteon for Yonng. The latter went into the box, and said that on 4prii 15 Mrs Kwie's little girl came to his shop, and bought a shilling's worth of goods, for which she tendered half <• crown. As Bhe owed money for goods previously he retained the change The girl wenb away, and the mother came and blackguarded him, tore his scales to pieces, and hit him on the head with a scala weight. She was very much exsited and her language was some thing ■dreadful. He put her out with great difficulty—in fact I'it was a hard caie." He had no stick In his hand, and he did not use any undue violence in gett ing the woman out, though it was a very hard job. She tried to tear his place to pieces. The cheese was thrown down and j dirtied, the soaps were thrown down and Bcatterad over the floor, and the tumblers were banged about. In cross examination by Mr Purnell, who had charge of the de fence, witnesi said he would not take £2 for the damage. The woman broke the door open. He did not strike the woman at all, and was not aware tbat she had been struck. If she had a blow she might have got it in the rough tussle which ensue I when he put her out, as both he and the woman fell on the floor together. If she had a blow she was no worse off than he was himself, as he was also wounded.—Helen Younst, wife of the last witness heard the scuffle. After it was oter her husband had a wound on the scalp from which blood was flowing. The woman knocked the scales about and they are now uselees. The cheese also was un saleable, and the tumblers and bottles were knocked about. Told her husband not to strike Mrs Kane, and he did not do to, at ltast Rhe did not see him strike her. The scales would not weigh sugae now, but she could not say whether they could be repaired The cheese had to be thrown outside.—Samuel Patterson, was at Young's house in the kitchen when Kane came. Heaida scuflH and looked into the shop By this time Kane was put out and Young's head was bleeding. Kane tried to come in again and broke in the door, and Jfoung put her out the second time. The things on the counter were all scattered about. When the woman was out on the read Young asked witness to go for the police, and witness went. Was not in a position to thow what if any injury had been don© to the scales. Young's head was cut in the scuffle,—Con stable Moore said he was sent for after the row. He valued the wreckage at about 30*. The scales were disarranged, the cheese rendered uselees, and the soap knocked about and tramped on the floor. He did not think it could be sold at full price, because of the usage it h&d got. A couple of glasses were broken. The bar of the scales was bent but could be straightened. Half a sovereign might pay for the repairs to the scales, but they were useless when he saw (hem. Ibe cut on Young's head was an inch and a half —Sergeant Moiler saw the wound on Young's head. The fc*lp appeared to have been cut for two inches. Yotn/ wanted witness to lay an information against Mrs Kane, but he declined. After Young laid the information against Mrs Kane, &he came to witness and wished him to pros*cute Youfcg. She then appeared to have been suffering fnm a hftd cold, and her eyes were bwollen, but it was some time after the row, and he was not in a position to say whether she had been wounded or not. —'the case of Kane v Young was then proceeded with Mis Kane went nto the box and gave her version of the affair. She went to the chop to atk for the change already referred to, and on asking for the money Young struck her on the face and knocked her down ; he caught her by the hair, bub she being somewhat heavy he could not easily gefc her out. The scales were hanging over the counter a little, and it was in putting her put that the scales were knocked down. She had never had such a cowardly turn done to her since she came co the towr., and she was here now sixteen years, and had seven children. By Mr Cuthbertson— He struck her on the head with some thing like a stick, a rule or something. "When she was outside he struck her two heavy blows on the head, and she could not see her way to the pump for three days. Could not tell how Young got his head cut unless it was that he struck it on the door. Wag not down town for three days after the assault, and certainly not the day after it. — Mary Kane, daughter of the previous witness, said ehe went for sugar to Young's, and gave him half a crown. He refused to give her back the change, and said witness could send her mother to him. Afterwards he said he would keep the lot, both sugar and change. Her mother was up all night attending to the wound on her eye.—A son of Mrs Kane bore evidence as to her eyes being bloodshot and her forehead swollen,—His Worship said the evidence was conflicting. The damage had been done in the scufse, and the whole thing hal arisen out of Young stopping the changed thing he had no right to do. The woman had been very violent no doubt, but atter^conßidering the whole case he did not see his way to inflict a fine in either case, and the cases would be dismissed.

Distress in N ewfoundland

The Governor, Sir Terence O'Brien, has received complete returns from all available sources in regard to the suffering in St Johns, Newfoundland, <rith the result that his report to the Home Office in London will show 50 per cent of the entire population of the city to be either receiving or in need of assistance to keep starvation from their doors. The work of reliev ing the poor is being pushed in a manner that has never before been known on the Island. Two thousand five hundred families, or 15,000 men, women, and children, enjoyed a meal on March 13, many of whom had fasted sixty-two hours. The scenes at the distributing stations were al most appalling. Men used to the work of relief could hardly restrain their tears as women and children, fathers grey-haired and feeble, and sturdy sons anxious for work that was not forth coming, showeied " God bless you " on the assistants who gave out meat, flour, tea, and molasses. At a meeting of the West Eod Relief Committee, Mr John Boyd, governor for the poor asylum and an ex-member of tha colonial legislature, denounced the British Government for allowing the people of Newfoundland to starve on the streets and the British flag to be starved off the flagpole in Newfound land, while England gives thousands of pounds to the Armenians and pro tects African trading companies, leaving our people to #o begging to America for relief to keep body and soul together. Seven hundred families in the E\st End of St Johns were provided on March 13 with three days' provisions from the Boston relief contributions. When the Halifax steamer Grand Lake left port she had among her passengers Mr Faye, who came in charge of the American relief contributions. At the hour of the steamer's departure 4000 people were on the wharf to see Mr Faye off. When the steamer was swung out from her pier the American flag was hoisted at her foremast head. The banner was greeted with many hearty cheers. Cheers for Mr Faye and Boston were also given.

CLARKE'S CARBOLIZED Wheat Protector HAS BEEN USED FIFTY YEARS WITH UNDEVIATING SUCCESS. IT has been amply proved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists In England, as well as by dozens of farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the Bead, causing the young plant to come up much sooner, and srow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from tbe ravages of the Slug, Grub, and Wireworm, adds firmness to the straw to support the ear. Seed dressed with this preparation may remain for any length cf Hrae without 1 sustaining injury, and invariably PRODUCES WHEAT PERFECTLY FREE FROM SMUT, And of greater value than that grown from seed drecsed with other preparations.
