- RYDE POLICE COURT TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1903. A BROOKLYN CASE
(Before Messrs. G. M. Pope, R. T. Sutton, J. Radshaw and T. G. Dole, J's.P.). James Sullivan was brought up, charged with having assaulted Alexander Leslie Merrick and John Merrick, at Brooklyn. Sergeant Ross prosecuted and Mr. Mark Williamson appeared for defendant, who pleaded not guilty. Alexander, oysterman, living at Peat's Ferry, deposed that accused caught him by the neck and nearly suffocated him. His sister came to pull him away and he hit her in the back. John Merrick, father of the previous witness, corroborated in the main his son's evidence. Defendant hit him (witness) on the side of the face, grabbing him by the throat at the same time. In cross-examination by Mr. Williamson he said he heard a man named Parker say, 'Don't knock him about ' (meaning defendant). He knew of no reason why Parker should have said this. James Sullivan, the defendant, deposed that he was a labourer. John Merrick caught hold of him by the arm and said, 'Now's your time.' A lady then rushed at him and tore off his hat. Charley Merrick almost immediately hit him in the eye. He denied most emphatically having caught Alexander Merrick by the neck previous to this, and having nearly choked him. He did not catch either him or his father by the throat, nor did he kick Charlie Merrick in the belly. Both cases were dismissed.
