CHARGE OF ASSAULT AND ROBBERY AT CANTERBURY.

John Powell and Louis James Miller were indicted for robbery with violence from the person of Joseph Smith, at Canterbury, on the 3rd January. Mr. Sankey prosecuted and prisoners were undefended.

It appeared that the prosecutor was met at about ten o'clock on the night in question while going towards his home by the prisoners, one of whom asked him to have a drink and also to accompany him home, both of which invitations Smith declined. Miller then struck him several times in the face, and Powell made a rush at him and snatched his pin— a silver one — from his scarf. Prosecutor then went and found a police-constable, and they discovered the accused at the "Angelo Castle," Butchery-lane, where they lodged. Prosecutor recognised the men as those who had assaulted him, and his pin was found in Powell’s coat. When charged before the magistrates Miller said he was guilty of the assault, but not of stealing the pin.

In defence the prisoners said that they met the prosecutor in a back street, and be asked them whether they could get him any beer. They said they could get some at their lodgings, and he accompanied them through the principal streets towards the "Angelo Castle." If they had intended to rob him it was not likely they would have taken Smith through the chief thoroughfares. On the way prosecutor handed Powell his scarf pin to pay for the drink. On arrival at the "Angelo Castle," the landlord refused to admit Smith, as he was already the worse for drink. Miller and prosecutor then had some words, and blows were exchanged, but they afterwards made it up and went into their lodgings. Miller stated that he struck Smith in self-defence.

The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty against both prisoners. The learned Judge remarked that Powell had been very lucky in his escape from conviction. Powell was discharged.

Miller was then indicted on a second count for a common assault.

The prisoner, in defence, said that he told the magistrates that he struck Smith in self-defence.

The jury convicted the accused, who was ordered by his lordship to pay a fine of £1 and be imprisoned for fourteen days’ hard labour, and further imprisoned until the fine was paid.
