Herbert Millington also gave corroborative evidence.
Edward Hogan deposed that on the night in question he witnessed a quarrel between James Timmins and Whitehall ; they had their coats off fighting ; Walden then pulled his coat oft, which fact James Timmins pointed out to his brother, John ; whereupon the latter followed Walden up and said, " I'm your man, Walden ;" Walden then rushed at John Timmins and struck him a cowardly blow in the eye ; they started fighting ; there were two or three falls and Walden ran away ; after this complainant met John Davis, who was standing on the verandah with his coat oft, and they had four or five falls on the road. John Timmins gave corroborative evidence. The Bench declined to go further into the case, as the evidence was of such a conflicting character, and the quarrel seemed to be an electioneering squabble. Case dismissed.
