A. J. Maynard, Esq., and remanded to the present court.  Superintendent Carline informed the Bench that Juggins waa much injured about the face and was that morning unconscious.  It was not considered that he could get over it, and he was then too far gone to allow of his depositions being taken.  He asked for a further remand for a week.  Prisoner, in reply to the question why he should not be remanded, said that the other man struck him first and he only struck Juggins in self defence, and stated that Juggins had admitted that he was the one in fault over the oocurrence. lnspector Wheeldon, who arrested prisoner, said that Juggins admitted in a publio house, where he and prisoner went, that they had had a "tussle," and that he had been to blame.  Juggins then left the house and prisoner followed him in about ten minutes, saying that he would "follow tho old b---- to the fields and give it him there."  He also understood that the men were parted whilst fighting in the fields, by two women.  The Bench granted a remand for a week.
