FOUR members of a Lifford family were before Tuesday's sitting of Letterkenny District Court as a result of an incident in which another man was allegedly assaulted with a wheel brace.

Anthony, Bobby, Michael and Maurice Sharkey all of Cavan Hill, Lifford were before the court charged with assault causing harm to William Arthur on December 26 . They were also charged with causing a Breach of the Peace on the same date.

Judge Desmond Zaidan refused jurisdiction in the case and referred it for a trial by jury in the Circuit court on October 2.
