/cards trotn the <vowd when he was struck. At any rate r Hampton seemed to come iLt distance from the crowd. Did not see Mr Graham give any provocation. m^m. Osborne, of the Bank of New Cnnt*«/»'es> also dePose(i to witnessing the g&vts' Bid not see 'Mr Graham do any rtfug to provoke the assault. Andrew Heavy gave similar evidence. Re Vas only ten yards off and saw the ronlfc Mr Graham asked Mr Hampton f,hv he struck, him. He replied, "I have •t n for you." He said nothing about being Itrnck He was then rushed by a lot of 8-\ a n<J struck by two. The crowd were liking for him to give him a good hiding. Mr Graham cried out for the people not to j o y hero said he would not task the mtience of the Court by calling all those So were there. John Gardner Henderson gave similar evidence. Be sa^ ne was a school ate of Mr. Hampton's, and bore him no ill. £ wftS impossible for Mr Graham to have struck Mr Hampton. He was too far off at the time. The horse was almost stationary. Detective Jeffrey deposed to the assault, n d said Mr Graham could not possibly we assaulted Mr Hampton then. The latter gentleman had to run out into the open for at least ten yards. Mr Graham ff as not riding round the course, he was coming across it. By Mr. Rees : After the assault tlie police took Hampton to protect him, as the people were hitting at him in all directions. Mr. Hampton told him that Mr. Graham had struck him first. He replied that he did not. This was the case for the information. Mr Rees said it had never been denied that the assault was committed, nor wag any defence made to the charge. Mr Hampton's Tersipn was that after stopping his horse, M r Graham rode up alongside the crowd and cracked his whip, and the thong caught Mr Hampton in the eye. He had no doubt that Mr Graham committed the assault unawares and unintentionally. It was not to be thought that a respectable citizen would strike a man like Mr Graham without pro vocation. . Joha Smith, a storeman at Lewis Bros.', said he was at Ellerslie on the 9th, and was standing close to Mr Hampton. Saw Mr Graham come riding towards the crowd cracking his whip. Saw the whip strike Mr Hampton. Three or four minutes afterwards Hampton struck Mr Graham. Would not swear where the whip struck Mr Hampton. By Mr Joy : He did not pay much, attention. He was inside the run ning ground at the time. Did not see •where the whip struck Mr Hampton. It was three or four minutes after the whip striking Mr Hampton that Mr Hampton struck Mr Graham. Mr Joy : You said moments just now. Witness : Well aint moments and minutes the same? (Laughter). Mr Joy: Then you meant minutes when you said moments. _ * Witness : Yes. Did not see Mr Graham ride across the course. The whip produced was not like that Mr Graham had. Saw Mr Hampton strike Mr Graham. He went about four yards to get at him. He helped to pro tect Mr Hampton when he was being attacked by the crowd. Heard a man call out to lynch him. Saw several persona strike at Hampton. William Melton, David Keneally, James McEwan, and William Mahoney gave evi dence that they saw Mr Hampton strike Mr Graham, hut did not see Mr Hampton stmck by the whip. It was then mutually agreed that the evi dence already given should stand for the counter charge, which was now gone into, Mr. Baratow reserving his decision till the other case was gone into. Mr Graham, to the counter charge, pleaded not guilty. Herbert Hampton, on being called, said lie was standing about thirty yards from the end of the fence. Saw Mr. Graha-m chase the boy. When the boy fell Mr Graham, to avoid running over him, turned his horse towards the crowd slashing his ■whip. The thong caught his right eye-lid. Had given no provocation to Mr Graham. By Mr Joy : Did not know he was on forbidden ground in the place where he was standing. He had only been on the course about three minutes prior to his striking Mr Graham. Had been at the Agricultural Show. Believed that the blow was quite unintentional. It was owing to the smart of the blow that he retaliated. He acted injudiciously he knew. Mr Rees said this evidence with that of Mr Smith's was the case. Messrs Joy, and Bees having addressed the Court, The Besident Magistrate dismissed the cross-action, and fined Mr Hampton £5 and costs—the costs not to exceed £10. In doing so, he commented on the practice of crowd ing up on such occasaions, and said that but for the possibility that Mr Hampton might have been hurt, he should not have deemed a pecuniary punishment sufficient. This was all the business.
