15 It is apparent from the evidence of the eyewitnesses, the essence of which I have extracted, that there were not two separate and distinct assaults committed by the appellant upon the complainant. There was an occasion on which Sean Beardmore stumbled and, to prevent himself falling, grabbed a chair, no doubt the property of Cafe Mondial, and pushed it two or three metres along the pavement while he struggled to regain his balance. The appellant emerged quickly and aggressively from the interior of the cafe, approached the Beardmores and within a very short space of time began punching the complainant, probably from behind, when he was unable to defend himself by reason of his support for his brother. As one might expect, the various witnesses saw different aspects of the event and differed in their recollections of what they saw. It is, though, quite clear that the incident described by Mrs Gilby is the same as that described by the other witnesses, including the complainant. She saw it differently. She thought there were a number of quickly administered blows delivered while the appellant was more or less face-on to the complainant. In this, her description differs from the others but from its context there can be no doubt that it was her depiction of the event which was the subject of the charge in the indictment.
