ELTHAM.
(From Our Own Correspondent). Eltham, Nov. 8. At a sitting of the S.M. Court yesterday a young man named D. D. Baxter pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting AJi Parkes, a Chinaman. Constable Townsend stated that the trouble arose through the Chinaman desiring some lioodlums to move on. Defendant stated that Ah Parkes struck him first. Mr. Crooke, S.M., said he never heard of a Chinaman using his fist, and fined Baxter 5.% remarking that if further offences' of a similar nature occurred he would make the fines more severe. The first ballot of the Second Division lias hit Eltham very severely. The clerk of the court and the secretary of our dairy company are amongst those who will need to go before a Medical Board as a result of their "success" in the first ballot. An old face railed into Eltham this week, Mr. T. J. Quinn. who was for a few years engaged in business here as a chemist. He is now a soldier on leave and later on expects to find his wayto France or Egypt, or wherever the enemy requires exterminating.
