ST. AUGUSTINE’S PETTY SESSIONS. SATURDAY.

W. lddenden was charged with assaulting John Friend, at Whitstable, on the 18th inst. It appears that on that evening there was a party at the house of Mr. Philpott, the “Dredgerman’s Arms” public-house. A quarrel ensued between the complainant and defendant, and blows were struck on both sides. The disagreement, however, was arranged for a time, and the parties shook hands. Some time afterwards the defendant went up to the place where the complainant was standing and struck him twice with a poker.

The assault was proved by the testimony of another party, who was present, and the defendant was fined 5s. and 11s. costs.

SATURDAY. A DRUNKEN HUSBAND AND FAMILY JARS.

Mary Ann Walker, of Whitstable, wife of the mate of a vessel, was charged with breaking a window in the house of Mr. William Philpott, at Whitstable, on the 10th instant. It appeared that the defendant went to ask for her husband at the public house kept by the complainant. Some altercation ensued, and ended in the defendant breaking the window. She was ordered pay 1s. for the damage and 10s. expenses, or in default to be imprisoned 7 days. The husband, who was described us an habitual drunkard, declined to pay the money.

Emily Hawkins, mother of Mary Ann Walker the defendant in the last case, was charged with assaulting Emily Walker, mother of Mary Ann Walker's husband, at Whitstable, about one o'clock on the morning of Sunday the 8th instant. Mrs. Walker said she was at her son's home when Mrs. Hawkins went in and called her a name peculiar to Whitstable and afterwards struck her. The defendant said she was called out of bed to go to the assistance of her daughter, whose husband and his mother were taking the things out of the house. When she got there the complainant abused and assaulted her.

Mrs. Hawkins’s statement was corroborated by P.C Oliver, and the magistrates missed the case.
