TWO YEARS’ JAIL
Assault On Chinaman “This was a very brutal assault,” said Mr. Justice Johnston in the Supreme Court, Wellington, yesterday, in sentencing Edward, Wardle, railway cleaner and soldier, aged 22, to two years’ imprisonment on a charge that, with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Low Tung Ming, a Chinaman, in Wellington on December 18 last, he did him actual bodily harm. His Honour said prisoner had hit the Chinaman with a piece of piping, and was lucky that he had only a charge of having done bodily barm to answer. Mr. F. T. Clere appeared for the Crown.
