Saturday, October 8^th: Before W.G. Herbert, J. Stainer, G.I. Swoffer, R.J. Linton, and G. Boyd Esqs., and Lieut. Col. Hamilton.

Walter Champion was summoned for assaulting Edward Nash, the landlord of the Pavilion Shades. Defendant pleaded Guilty.

Mr. G.W. Haines, solicitor, supported the summons and also appeared on behalf of the Licensed Victuallers` Trade Protection Society. Having outlined the assault, he said licence holders had very considerable restrictions. They had to comply with the law, and Nash was endeavouring to conduct his house in a proper manner and do what was right. What, to an extent, made the case worse was that the defendant himself was a barman in the trade, and he knew as much as anybody the difficulties there were in conducting a public house. Therefore it was felt that under the circumstances that the case should be brought before the Magistrates.

Edward Nash said he had been eight years at the Pavilion Shades. On Monday evening at 8.15 defendant went into the house in company with three other men. Witness took exception to one of the three other men and refused to serve him. Because he told them they could not remain, an altercation ensued between witness and defendant. A customer then came in and asked for a glass of beer, and whilst he (witness) was drawing the beer defendant struck him in the mouth with his fist, and witness subsequently saw Champion strike another customer in the bar. Witness went round the bar for the purpose of ejecting the defendant, and there was a general disturbance.

Mr. Haines said he did not press for anything heavy.

The Chairman, in fining defendant 40s. and 9s. costs, or one month, said it was a most unprovoked assault.

Saturday, 8^th October: Before Mr. W.G. Herbert, Lieut. Colonel Hamilton, Messrs. G.I. Swoffer, W.G. Boyd, R.J. Linton, and J. Stainer.

 

Walter Champion was summoned for assaulting Edward Nash, landlord of the Pavilion Shades, on the 3^rd October. Mr. G.W. Haines appeared on behalf of the prosecution.

Mr. Haines stated that he was instructed to prosecute in that case by the complainant and by the Licensed Victuallers` Trade Protection Society. After briefly outlining his case, Mr. Haines stated that landlords had got very considerable restrictions as to conducting their houses, and they tried to do so to the very best of their ability. The complainant was endeavouring to do what was right, and the defendant assaulted him. What made it worse was that the defendant was a barman in the trade, and knew as much as anyone the difficulties there were in conducting a house. It was felt under those circumstances that that summons should be brought before them.

Edward Nash stated that he was landlord of the Pavilion Shades. He had been landlord for eight years. On the previous Monday evening, 3^rd October, the defendant came into his house in company with three other men. Witness took objection to one of the three men – not the defendant – and refused to serve them. That led to an altercation between witness and the defendant. Whilst he was serving another customer the defendant struck him on the mouth. Witness was on his own side of the counter, and defendant struck him over the counter. Witness subsequently saw him strike another customer in the bar. He went round for the purpose of ejecting the four defendants, and a general disturbance then took place in the bar.

Defendant stated that he was very sorry. He had just commenced his holiday, and had had a couple of drinks.

Fined 40s. with 9s. costs, or one month`s imprisonment.
