was at Clitheroe Magistrates’ Court yesterday fined £5 for wounding James Richard Parkin son. of Curzon Street. Salford.


Thorpe, who pleaded guilty, was


represented by Mr. G. Horne, of Burnley, who said his client was having a drink in a Whalley hotel when he saw his wife, from whom he was separated, enter with another girl and Parkinson.


Thorpe took Parkinson outside


with the intention of talking to him, but the other man swung a blow at him. Thorpe then hit him twice, knocking him to the ground and cutting his head. Imposing the fine, the presid­


ing magistrate, Coun. J. W. D. Critchley. said that this was an offence which was becoming too common nowadays, although Thorpe did appear to have had a certain amount of provocation.
