This Day. ! (Before E. Beetham, Esq., 8.M.) I Threatening Language.— Albert Edwin Faucett was charged with using threaten ing language towards S. B. Webb on Feb. 26, by which a breach of the peace was likely to be occasioned. Mr Nalder ap peared for accused and pleaded "Not guilty." Mr Webb, who conducted his own case, gave evidence to the effect that on Sunday night, Feb. 26, he was walking along Winchester street, and when he was abreast of the Crown Hotel two persons came out of the door, and a little later the accused came out of the door and passed witness and two others standing with him. As the accused came back to the : hotel he said "It's a cold night, come and , have abeer,"at the same time catching hold : of witness' coat. Accused then threatened j witness and said he would hit him on the ' nose if he did not dear out, and continued j to assault them (witness and his friend) ; calling them — prohibitionists. To Mr Nalder : Was a member of the Licensing j Bench. Was not in the habit of I going to church on Sunday nights. : For the past few weeks witness and two I others had been watching the pnblic j houses with the view of seeing to what , extent the law was being broken. Was in front of the Crown Hotel on Feb. 26 for about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. Saw another man there who was nearly drunk. Did not accuse defendant of having made this man drunk. Did not lift hia stick to accused. James Norton, a baker, gave corroborative evidence. ToMr Nalder : Witness was a member of the Committee who watched the public houses on Sunday nights. This was the case for the prosecu tion. Mr Nalder called Frederick Bowen, a boarder at the Crown Hotel, who said he was sitting close to the window sill, when he saw Webb and Norton standing at the corner. There was another man named Fouldß present, and the four of them got into an argument about the respective merits of tea, coffee and beer. The argu ment waxed rather warm, and Foulds, in laying down the law to Webb, put his hand on Webb's chest, whereupon the latter threatened him with a stick.
