Bes fore this happened, an attempt appears to have been made by the Amherst to avoid the launch, but she struck the other vessel and sent her, almost immediately, to the bottom of the river.

The accused pleaded guilty. According to the prosecution, dispute arose over water.. During the quarrel, defendant kicked com- plainant and, then struck him twicy ever the wrist with a chisel causing two stab wounds, which, however were not very serious.

The defendant was fined $10 and ordered to pay the complainant $5 compensation.
