Edward Nicholson (sworn)—I ‘live at Spring Park Road. There was a team et Thorne’s, and Peter Proud was in the wagon. Jack Hughes, Jack Trainor and George Thorne were near. Jack Hughes demanced the whip from Rodd, who was standing by the wagon. Rodd refused. Thorne struck him and Jack Trainor tried to pull Peter Proud from the wagou. Rocd got into the wagon with Peter Proud, and
they weutas far as Garrick’s corner. Theu William Proud came along and he and James Carr got into the
wagon and tursed back towards Thorue’s. Wm Proud and Peter Proud got out and made for Thorne, John Trainer, John Hughes and cdward Hughes. Carrull was there but had vothing todo with the fight. Wm Proud said to Thorne: * What are you fellows beating my brother for,’’ One of the crowd hit Win Proud and knocked bim down. He fell uoder the wagon and the wheel paseed over his chest. Proud got up and followed the wagov. Jack Trainor struck Peter Prond and someone struck Rodd. Wm Proud got into the wagon and drove a little piece and came back to Thorne’s§ again. Geo. Thorne, Jack Trainor and Edward Yuches were standing at Thorue’s corner. Billy Proud got out of the wagon. and went over tothem. Wm. Proud spoke to Thorve. Thorne told him to go away and struck Proud « right band blow on the side
ot the neck. Proud reeledand got another
smash ou the mouth from Trainor. He got anether from Edward Hughes. I think it wasin the chest. The tree

Peter Proud (sworn)-—-I ama farm laborer, and brother to William Proud. [ drove amy mother totown on Monday. William came in by train andI met him. My brother, James Carr, George Rodd and I went down to Thorve’s between six ana seven o'clock.

He would be nearly 20 yards awav from me. Thorne was not in the crowd sround me. I never got near my brother till he was in the wagon. I was kicked once by fsometody. I dont know who.

SPAIN COULD HARDLY HAVE AVOIDED YIELDING
Had America Demanded a Cession of the Philippines Outright.
Lonpex, Aug. 1..—The Times, in an editorial on the terms of peace, confines itseif toa discussion of the question, raised ia the Philippines. It says: “ It seems equally difficult for America to take orto leave them. Spain had trouble enough to hold them before the war. She would be still more embarrassed now, and probably would not remain Jovg without tempting offers from some of the powers, which her poverty might impel her to accept.
‘Had America demanded a cession of the Philippines outright, Spain could bardly have avoided yielding. Now she may find in her very weakness the means of softening the other conditions of peace.
“For, eince the United States have de- cided thatthe islands are not worth an- nexing, some arrangements must be made with Spain to ensure the reversion of the islands to the United States in the event of Spain failiog to maintain tolerable govern~ mevt.
‘Here are all the elements of 4 bargain which skilful diplomacy might turn to Spaic’s advantage; but the thing must be done quickly and the advantage not pres eed too far.”
