"WINGHAM. Petty Sessions.

These sessions were held at the usual place on Thursday last, but there was very little business for disposal.

Thos. Kember, a publican of Northbourne, was charged with having assaulted Geo. Rye, a fisherman of Sandwich, on the 5th of July. It seemed that the complainant had been lodging at the defendant’s house, and a dispute arose as to the removal of his things, when the assault was committed.

Defendant was fined 5s. and the costs.
