RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT
Gisborne, Friday, November 13, 1874. [Before W. K. Nesbitt, Esq., R.M.,] STOTT V. MARTIN. Claim, £9 17s, balance alleged to be due on certain work done. Plaintiff failed to establish his case, and judgment passed for defendant. MARTIN V. STOTT. This was a charge of assault and battery arising out of the previous case. It appeared that the wounded feelings of the plaintiff in the case then decided found vent in endeavoring “ to make it hot” for the defendant, who had had judgment recorded in his favor, and accordingly proceeded to do so, immediately on issuing from the Court House, by knocking said defendant down. Alfred Marlin deposed to having heard accused say he would make it hot for him (the complainant.) Stott struck him several blows in the face while the bystanders were protecting him. The offence was admitted in part, and the Bench inflicted a fine of £lO or three month’s imprisonment in default. Stott immediately replied that he should take it out in jail, and left the Court in charge of the constables.
