Mr B.

Mr Crisp appeared for the defence and pleaded not guilry. The police BBid that owing to the serious nature of the injuries received by Mr Berry man he was m bed, and the medical man at i ending him said he would not be able to appear before Monday. A remand was therefore asked for, and granted, Wednesday being fixed for the hearing. Mr Crisp asked for bail. The police did not like to oppose bail, but said that tha accused was violent m tewper, and his wife said she was afiaid of her life. The assault was of a most aggra vated character, having been made upon a man without provocation, the victim having been kicked and beaten about the head m a brutal manner. The police, however, had Lot the detailed facts iv their possession yet. Mr Crisp said that bail was not asked for, for any improper purpose. Bail, was allowed— accused m £200, and two sureties m £100 each, or one surety m £200.
