AMBLESIDE PETTY SESSIONS. Wednesday, September 6. (Before H. REDMAYNE  and J. H. STOREY, Esqs.)        Herbert White FLINT, gentleman, Holme Lea, Penarth, Glamorgan, was charged with driving a motor car above 20 miles an hour, at White Moss, Grasmere, on the 30th August.        A long telegram was read from defendant, from Glenridding, and who had only that morning received notice of summons, it having been left at his residence, and notice forwarded on to him, from which it appeared he wished to defend the charge, and the case was adjourned for a fortnight. **        Cuthbert FULLER, a gardener, Grasmere, charged Ernest COATES, gardener, Grasmere, and William COATES, joiner, Grasmere with assault on the 26th August.        Mr. J. T. SHEPHERD was for plaintiff, and Mr. G. GATEY for defendants.        Mr. SHEPHERD said the plaintiff was willing to withdraw the summons on payment  of costs by the defendants.        Mr. GATEY agreed to do so, and said the matter arose out of a practical joke by defendants against plaintiff, they having put a prop across some steps leading from a building at Grasmere to the road, and when Plaintiff fell to the bottom, they turned a hosepipe upon him.        The Bench granted the withdrawal of the charges. ****** WHITEHAVEN EDUCATION COMMITTEE.        The monthly meeting was held at the Town Hall yesterday (Wednesday).
