A CHRISTMAS FIGHT. BYRD'S PREDICAMENT.

·MI. H. A. BOTELHO AND A AIR. MAHER FINED,

The case arising from a scuffle Rond on at Wongaelchong. Christmas night, in which Mr. G. H. Blok. Mr. H.A. Botelho. Mr. N. B. Maher and others were con- curned concluded before Mr. Gran- tham, at the Central Magistracy yesterday afternoon, when a de cision in favour of Mr. Blok was given.

The Magistrate said that he was left to decide on a summons" for assault taken out by Mr. Blok against both Mr. H. A. Botelho

and Mr. N.B. Mahor; a -cross- summons in, similar terms by the two last-named: n summons for abusive language by Mr. Blok against Mr. C.A. "Botelho, and a by the latter

"According to the statement or story of Mr. Blok." his Worship continued, he was standing at the bottom of the steps. looking upwards towards his house, and Mr. H, A. Botelho came up and hit him, for nothing at all. Mr. Blok said he had no grudge against Mr. Botelho, a passing acquaintance. It has also out clearly in the evidence that Mr. Botelho was wearing an over- cost, a searf, and gloves. I And it impossible to believe at all that Mr. H. A. Botelho indu' precon- velved plan of any long duration or had conspired with Mr. Maher Lo cemit the assault on Mr. Blok. I must therefore find that there must be some reason why he came up to Mr. Blok and a fight, started. The word "leafer" was shouted out. The only one witness who says she heard the word shouted was Miss Botelho. H.A. Botelho says it came from Blok's house, and he saw Blok standing there

But assuming that Blok did shout out that word "oufer", there is no distinct evidence na to whom it was meant for. It might be meant for anyone,
