Mr Ebsworth, who appeared for the prosecution, after stating the circumstances of the case, called the complainant, from whose evidence it appeared that on the 14th inst……….a hawker, on his way from Wolverhampton called, in company with a person named Deadman, at a beerhouse in Little Bloxwich. While there, the defendants came and threw down a piece of bacon, which in accordance with their instructions was fried. Handcox requested complainant to have a piece of bacon. Smith, however, declared complainant should not have any and took off his coat and wished to fight complainant,……………… came up to complainant, who was standing at the head of his mule, and struck him a blow in in the face, which knocked him down, and was then kicked by both of the defendants till he was insensible……….. Wilkinson called a witness named Roland Salmon, who fully corroborated Mr. Wilkinson's statement, and added that Foden was the first to strip—he pulling off his flannel. Smith then took off his jacket, and they had a round, which was terminated Foden tripping up Smith, who fell to the floor. Deadman then seized a whip-stock, and struck Hancox with it. He (Deadman) then said he would fight Hancox, and would fight Smith. cross-examination witness said he was on the ground, and Hancox kicking him, but witness never interfered either to save the complainant, or assist him up……….. Henry Rowley was called, but his evidence only related to a conversation that took place between witness and complainant, in the Swan Inn, on the night of the assault. After hearing the evidence on both sides, the Bench sentenced the defendants to pay a fine of £3 and costs, which, in both cases amounted to 17s. 6d., or in default to imprisoned for twenty-one days.
