George Taylor, of Horn Street, in the parish of Cheriton, was charged with assaulting Francis J. Pointon, corporal in the 20th Foot, stationed at Shorncliffe Camp.

Complainant deposed that he was on duty at Cheriton on the night of the 25th August. He had a picquet of eight men under him. Two were posted at the White Lion, and six at the Three Horse Shoes. Between eleven and twelve o'clock a man came out of the Three Horse Shoes in an intoxicated state, and commenced abusing the picquet. The defendant then came up with about ten or a dozen others armed with sticks, &e. I he defendant carried a side board of a cart, and threatened to cleave the first man down that approached him. Complainant, with the picquet, retired, and as they were doing so defendant struck him twice in the neck with his fist.

Jonathan Taylor, and several other soldiers who constitutes! the picquet, corroborated the previous witness’s statement, and produced the hoard with which defendant had armed himself.

Several witnesses for the defendant said they were present at the time of the alleged assault, but no blows were struck. The defendant they admitted was armed with a board, but he merely carried it on his shoulder.
