Hythe County Petty Sessions, Thursday: Before the Rev. E. Biron, Thomas Denne, Esq., and Capt. Kirkpatrick.

George Taylor, of Horn Street, in the parish of Cheriton, was charged with assaulting Francis J. Pointon, corporal in the 20^th Foot, stationed at Shorncliffe Camp.

Complainant deposed that he was on duty at Cheriton on the night of the 25^th August. He had a picquet of eight men under him. Two were posted at the White Lion, and six at the Three Horse Shoes. Between eleven and twelve o'clock a man came out of the Three Horse Shoes in an intoxicated state, and commenced abusing the picquet. The defendant then came up with about ten or a dozen others armed with sticks, &e. I he defendant carried a side board of a cart, and threatened to cleave the first man down that approached him. Complainant, with the picquet, retired, and as they were doing so defendant struck him twice in the neck with his fist.

Jonathan Taylor, and several other soldiers who constitutes! the picquet, corroborated the pre­vious witness’s statement, and produced the hoard with which defendant had armed himself.

Several witnesses for the defendant said they were present at the time of the alleged assault, but no blows were struck. The defendant they admitted was armed with a board, but he merely carried it on his shoulder.

The Bench lined defendant £1 14s. including costs, which he paid.

Shocking Accident

On Thursday night, as a poor woman, wife of a private soldier stationed on the Camp at Shorncliffe, was passing over the line at the level crossing near Cheriton Street, she was knocked down and run over by the mail train, nearly severing her head from the body, and otherwise fearfully mutilating her. Her remains were taken to the Three Horseshoes public house, at Cheriton Street, where an inquest will be held this afternoon. She had not long left this house, where she had been drinking during the afternoon, and it is supposed that, being somewhat in liquor, and unaware of the near approach of the train, she unfortunately met with her untimely and horrible death.

Hythe Petty Sessions

Thursday, April 2^nd: Before Rev. E. Biron, Thomas Denne Rsq., and Capt. Kirkpatrick

Robert Miles, a private in the 53^rd Regiment, stationed at Shorncliffe Camp, appeared to summons, charged with wilfully damaging a lamp, the property of Michael Murray, thereby doing injury to the amount of 6s. 6d.

Prosecutor, who keeps the Three Horseshoes beerhouse, in the Parish of Cheriton, said: On the 23^rd March last, the defendant was in my skittle alley, which adjoins my house. There was a lamp in the skittle alley, which hung from the roof, about 7 feet from the ground. I was in another part of my house and heard the noise of broken glass. Witness then went into the skittle alley, and saw the lamp was broken. The defendant had then the skittle ball in his hand. I accused the defendant of breaking the lamp. He said he did not break the lamp, but it was done accidentally. He offered to pay 9d., but I would not take it. He afterwards said he would make good the lamp.

The Chairman said they could not convict the defendant of the offence, as he did not appear to have done it maliciously, and recommended complainant to take proceedings in the County Court for the damages.
