GIRL ATTACKS MAN.
BRANDISHING A KNIFE.
"MORE THAN JEALOUSY."
INCIDENT AT A DANCE
(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day. "There is more in this than the "green-eyed monster of jedlousy." She admits that she was out to get revenge. I won't say what it was for at the present time."
So said Senior Sergeant Fitzpatrick when Gladys Victoria Carpenter pleaded guilty to assaulting John Snedden.
The senior sergeant said the girl had kept company with Snedden, but evidently they had parted. While at a dance the girl had rushed at Snedden with a table knife. Had she not been stopped, there was no doubt she wtfuld have injured him. She was quite frank about the fact that she was out to hurt him.
Mr. Hobbs, for defendant, said she had been keeping company with Snedden for fourteen months. She considered he had treated her very badly, and on this occasion she lost her head.
The magistrate, Mr. E. D. Mosley, told defendant that she would have to learn to control herself.
Defendant was convicted and fined £2. She burst into tears, and had to be removed from Court.
