‘Present’ made to bridegroom
(N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, Feb. 4. Seven men who tied up a prospective bridegroom in a Heme Bay street a week ago and smeared his body with eggs, coffee and flour as a practical joke, were discharged without conviction in the Magistrate’s Court today. They told Mr D. G. Sinclair, S.M., that since pleading guilty to assault charges last week they had each made the victim, Maurice John Prisk, a “wedding present” of $25 a total of $175 as the Magistrate had suggested.
