BAILIFF'S OFFICER WOUNDED.
CHRISTCHURCH, 17th March. A bailiff's officer who went to Chaney's, near Kaiapoi, early this evening to take possession of the goods and chattels of a> resident there, appears to have had a highly unpleasant " experience. Details are meagre, but it appears that when the bailiff appeared on the scene and made his business known, he was attacked furiously by the man whose goods he was about to distrain, and who, armed with <a fork, struck him on-jthe-head,vinflicting what is reported to be a nasty ' wound. The bailiff was taken to a storekeeper's shop and found to have been somewhat seriously knocked about. Information received from Belfast was to the effect that he had_ been taken to the Christchurch hospital. > v STILL OUTSTANDING. AUCKLAND, 17th March. At the annual meeting' of the V.M.C.A. to-night it was reported that of the £11,793 promised when the campaign for funds for a new building was ! made about three years ago, the sum of £3233 is still outstanding.
