Assault in the Mine

Mr F. Allen prosecuted, and said that he bad teen instructed by the Denaby and Cadeby Colliery Company. The facts were these: The complainant had charge of a door leading to some stables. The defendant had absolutely no right to go there, and because the complainant stopped him he hit him a rather severe blow.
The complainant bore out this statement, which was corroborated by Sidney Dobson, another pony-driver.-
Defendant admitted the offence, but said the complainant would not let him pass.
Ordered to pay 40/- inclusive.
