Struck Wife With Glass
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, October 4. A man who, in a domestic argument with his wife, struck her with a glass so that she had to be taken to hospital with a suspected fracture of the skull, admitted a charge of assault before Mr A. A. Coates, S.M., in the Magistrate’s Court at Auckalnd, but claimed the blow was accidental. He was George Edward Aitchison, aged 35, a cook. He admitted to the Court that he struck his wife with his hand, but said the blow with the glass happened as he went to bang the glass down on the table, but his wife moved her head in the way. The injured woman told the Magistrate she was not prepared to overlook the incident, and he fined Aitchison £2O. ordering £7 to be given to the victim as compensation.
