Gave Neighbour a Black Eye – Bad Temper Costs Cluttonian £2 5s.
George Withey, of 22, Maynard Terrace, Clutton, pleaded not guilty at Temple Cloud Police Court, on Tuesday, to an assault on William Herbert Collins, of 24, Maynard Terrace, Clutton, on June
18th.
Collins said he was coming down from the hens' pen in his garden when Withey came over to him and started shouting something about what witness had done to his dog, and what he was going to do
witness.
"I told him,” said Collins, “that I knew nothing about his dog, and that I was not out of my house between 9 and 11:10 the night before."
Witness told him he was a sick man and that he would not lift his hand to him. Withey hit him down with his fist, and when he attempted to rise, he hit him again and cut his eye open. He did not strike Withey back at all. Later Withey came to him and said he was sorry for what he had done and that he had made a mistake.
Olive Ettle, of 31, Maynard Terrace, Clutton, gave evidence of seeing Withey strike Collins with his fist and hit him to the ground. She shouted out to Withey to leave Collins alone. She did not see Collins or Withey throw anything. The next day she saw Collins, who had a black eye.
Dr. F. D. Vaughan, of Temple Cloud, gave evidence of examining Collins on June 22nd, when his eye was bruised and bloodshot. The injury could have been caused by a hard blow with a man's fist. He had attended Collins for some three years, and he was in bad health and unable to work.
The Clerk: He would not be in good trim for a fight?
Dr Vaughan : No, sir.
Further evidence was given by Joseph Ettle, of 30, Maynard Terrace, Clutton.
Withey, on oath, said someone had beaten his dog the night before, and he was angry about it. When he spoke to Collins, the latter had a tin in his hand. Collins swung the tin round at him, and witness struck out at the tin, which went into Collin's eye and cut it. Later he apologised to Collins for what had happened. They had always been on good terms with one another before and since the affair.
Replying to the Clerk, Withey admitted he was in a bad temper when he went up to Collins.
The bench fined Withey 10s., with witnesses' expenses 5s., court fees 9s. and £1 1s. 0d. doctor's fees.
The magistrates were Lieut.-Col. the Hon. Edward Strachey (in the chair) Mr. J. G. Norman, Mr. J. H. Tovey, Major E. H. B. Usher and Mrs. S. E. Beagle.
