• CAPTAIN'S STORY Captain Northcote, giving evi- dence, said that when he was first struck by Whitehead, the Sergeant Major attempted to hold the man his but slipped. Whitehead freed arms and struck witness on the face and nose. In trying to avoid fur- ther blows, he fell on the next bed. and Somehow Whitehead slipped fell into his lap. After a while he stopped struggling and witness re- leased a hold he had round his head. Witness thought Whitehead had come to his senses and did not wish to aggravate the incident further. Whitehead, however, assumed threatening, attitude. Witness was watching him closely, saw an open- ing and took the opportunity. Whitehead then walked to the cen- tre of the room.

Captain Northcote said he
have been certain that he would hit again by Whitehead, who was not being held by anybody.
'Whitehead's demeanour and atti- tude gave him to believe that he would have again attacked. The case is proceeding.
