Sergeant Kelly explained that, hearing ecies of “ta" (strike), he rushed in the direction of the shouts and saw the first defendant about to strike the other over the head with a chopper. If the officer had been a few minutes later in arriving on the scene, the first defendant would fiave been before his Worship on more serious charge.

•As it was, the man was prevented from bringing home the blow and both were arrested. The second de- fendant was carrying a bamboo pole, while there were quite a num- ber of others also carrying poles. It was thought that the second de- fendant had been the cattse of the trouble, and the other men carry ing poles were after him,

"The fight seemed to have arisen aver a woman going to the first defendant's matshed to look for em- ployment. The first defendant, who was engaged as watchman at the shed, refused to admit her and the second defendant then started to assault him..

His Worship fined the first de- fendant $25. or three weeks' hard kabour, while the second defendant was fined $10, or fourteen days' im- prisonment in default.
