CHARGE OF ASSAULT
Five butcher's assistants named respectively, Richard Hodgson,
Thomas Bickerstaffe, Edward Ward, Thomas Whiteside, and
James Hayton, were charged with committing a violent assault
upon John Hetherington at the "Shoulder of Mutton" public-
house in Molyneux Square, when he missed 7s 6d from his pocket.
Hetherington, whose face bore unmistakeable evidence of severe
usage, insisted that he had given no provocation, and a man named
Richard Hodge supported him in that statement. Hodgson, however,
said that Hetherington had words with Bickerstaffe about some
transaction representing a pig, and without any cause had "made a
kick at his head," but missed, and struck the oven door.
The servant of the house appeared for the prosecution, but gave
her evidence very reluctantly. Another witness swore that
Hetherington was the aggressor, and had kicked at Hodgson as
alleged by him.
After a long investigation, however, the Bench were satisfied that
an aggravated assault had been committed upon Hetherington, by
the defendants Bickerstaffe and Ward, who were seen to kick
and strike him, and they were committed for trial. The other
prisoners were discharged.

ROBBERY FROM THE PERSON
Stephen Pennington was arraigned on a charge of stealing a watch from the person of John Ward, a butcher, in the employ of Mr. Haighton, on Saturday night last.
Ward stated that he was passing through Gin Bow Entry about twenty minutes past twelve o'clock on the night named, when the prisoner seized him and threw him down. Ward got up, and taking hold of Pennington by the hair, pulled him down. Whilst they were on the ground, a person named Bannister saw the prisoner pull Ward's watch from his pocket, and when they got up he ran to the top of the steps of the Shoulder of Mutton public-house.
At this moment, Shaw, the Market-Place watchman, came up, and Bannister informed him of what he had seen.
Shaw took Pennington into custody, and the watch was found concealed in the leg of his trousers. He was committed for trial.

FIRE!
About 12.45am on Thursday morning, the occupants
of the Shoulder of Mutton Inn, Lancaster Road,
discovered, on retiring to rest, that a large oak beam,
connected with the flue of an upstairs room, was on fire.
An alarm was lodged at the police station, and after the
application of a few cans of water by P.C. Parker, the
smouldering flames were overcome, the beam being the
only property damaged.

RESULT OF THE "FREE AND EASY"
Agnes McDuff, a young woman, evidently in a weak
state of health, summoned Thomas Mawdesley, a groom,
to show cause why he should not contribute towards the
maintenance of an illegitimate child of which he was
alleged to be the father. The complainant stated that she
had not strictly kept company with the defendant, but
that she had, on several occasions met him at the "Free
and Easy" concert room of the Shoulder of Mutton in
Lancaster Road, and had then gone with him, the result
being the child she now sought to cause him to maintain.
He was ordered to pay 3s a week for 14 years, plus 23s
Doctor's expenses, and costs.
