The latter denied any knowledge of the transaction, and argument led to blows. The men were separated, but met again.
McCracken. whose head vras injured, subsequently made a statement to the police, and in consequence of this Lowe was arrested for assault with intent to do bodily harm.
On 'A edncsday morning the accused was brought, before Mr C. H. Bellringer, Justice, and formally remanded nuti!
