BOUND OYER FOR ASSAULT ON NEIGHBOUR
A CLITHEROE man, Adolf Rung, of Hodder Grove,- was bound over to be of good behaviour for a year, when he was found guilty at Clitheroe yesterday week of assaulting and beating-' his next-door neighbour,-20-yea'r- old Mr.. Peter John' Burgess.

Mr. Burgess looked at the van, and found that the rear reflector and bulb had been broken. After speaking to children in the vicinity, he went to see Mrs. Rung the following day, to question her about the damage, which he thought had been caused by her two-yearrold son Michael.
