ASSAULT STORY, NOT BELIEVED:

Before Mr. J. R. Wood two Chinese were charged with assaulting a tramway foreman on Friday night.

Complainant stated that he was going over Bowrington Canal Bridge when he was set upon by two men. He struggled free and ran away up Bowrington Road, The canse of the quarrel was that the defendants, who worked on the road, were vory lazy and would not work. He in formed the traffic manager and, as a result, defendants were diamissed. All the men were paid on Friday afternoon and defendants turned up too. After- wards, they set upon complainant,
