FIRED BLANKS AT NEIGHBOUR
Man Fined, Placed On Probation (New Zealand Press Association) PALMERSTON N„ Dec. 1. Several blank cartridges were fired from a rifle during a domestic upset at Foxton last week and as a result the husband was fined £2O and placed on probation for two years, when he appeared in the Magistrate’s Court at Palmerston North today. The husband, Colin Murray Easton Cook, aged 25, was charged with presenting a firearm at Ronald Frederick Thomas Wilson, a neighbour, who had sought to smooth over the strained relations between Cook and his wife, and to whose home the wife had fled after being struck by her husband. He was also charged with wilfully damaging two windows in Wilson's home. Mr D. G. Sinclair, S.M., also ordered Cook to take out a prohibition order, and that his finances and work be under the direction of the probation officer. On the charge of wilful damage he was convicted and ordered to pay costs and damages of £3 for the broken glass.
