"Edward Parton, Kingswinford, was charged with being drunk and disorderly and also with assaulting Henry Edward Worrall on the 25th June. Police Constable Adams said he saw defendant at Townsend, Kingswinford, drunk and making use of bad language. Henry Edward Worrell said that on the date mentioned he and defendant had a few words at Kingswinford and had a fight in which he was the victor. Witness then went to the reading room, and defendant, after he had been there some little time, came in with an open knife and made a stab at him, cutting his coat. Defendant made two other attempts to stab him. Defendant said he had nothing to say upon it. The Stipendary said as far as the fight was concerned, complainant was as bad as defendant, but the use of the knife must be stopped. Defendant would be committed for 21 days hard labour for the case of assault, and there would be no adjudication in the drunkenness."
