Sergeant Calwell said the ease had bad features. A constable was called to accused’s residence early on Monday evening and on arrival found that accused had assaulted his son and daughter with a bayonet He had rushed at the son and the girl had placed herself in front and was knocked about the head. The hoy also received a slight injury. Accused was under the influence of liquor at the time and had a violent- temper, which had got the better of him on several occasions. The Magistrate (Mr. Hunt): “What do you say to a prohibition order?” Accused; “There is no need to make an order. I can go without drink and without that. You can make'a separation or anything you like, but a prohibition order is unnecessary.” Mr. Hunt: “How often does he break out like this?” Accused’s son said his father would be alright for mouths and then would come home aud break up everything lie could lay bis hands on. Sergeant Calwell said accused was iu regular employment. The Magistrate convicted Squire and ordered him to come up for sentence when-called upon. “Now you understand if you come up here again, you will get six mouths,” said Mr. Hunt.
