Sticking-up Case.
A MAN named Morrison, on his way from Onehunga with lis mate, when near the Koyal Oak his mate told him to go on and he would overtake him as he wanted to speak to a friend of his. Morrison went on, and when between the Junction and tollgate he was knocked down and stunned by a blow on the back of the head and was shoved into the ditch, where he lay insensible for some time. He felt three m-n rilling his pockets, and they took about £20 and a pair of silver spectacles - a family relic, and his Scotch bonnet. The wounds, fortunately, are not serious. Morrison lodges at Darby's dining-rooms.
