CHARGE OF ASSAULT

As a sequel to the affair on the Wahine yesterday morning, necessitating the removal to the hospital of a man with a knife wound, Hubert Frederick Hilton Shepherd, aged 52, a watersider, was charged before Mr. W. F. Stilwell, S.M., in the Magistrate's Court late yesterday afternoon with assaulting David Stewart so as to cause actual bodily harm. On the application of his counsel, Mr. O. C. Mazengarb, he was remanded until next 'Wednesday, bail being allowed in the sum of £50 and one surety of £50. In making the application, Mr. Mazengarb said that there was a dispute between Shepherd and another man, and Shepherd was struck a blow. An altercation followed and the other man was cut with a knife. Shepherd had been in his present job since 1907 except for a period of four years. "I've been told that he's one of the best men on the waterfront," said Senior-Sergeant Dempsey, who did not oppose the remand or bail.
