A BRUTAL ASSAULT.
Patrick O’Shannassy, lessee of the Waterton Hotel, Ashburton county, and a man named Kellar, an hotel loafer, were yesterday committed for trial at the Supreme Court for a brutal assault on a man named Chudley. Chndley went to the Waterton Hotel on Friday last and got drunk, and o‘Shannassy and Kellar, under pretence of taking him to bed proceeded to pick his pockets while carrying him upstairs. He expostulated, and they then kicked and beat him in a shameful manner, and afterwards took him outside the hotel and tied him up, spread-eagle fashion, to a cart outside the hotel and left him there all night. His screams for help aroused the neighbors next morning, and he was removed to the Hospital. O’Sfaannassy was arrested there and then, and Kellar, who made himself scarce, was caught by the police on Saturday night. O’Shannassy was allowed bail, himself in £IOO and two sureties in a similar amount.
