ATTACK WITH A KNIFE
A JEALOUS' CHINAMAN
FOURTEEN DAYS IN GAOL (By xelegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE, This Day. An affray in ■ which one of the parties was stubbed in the arm with a knife and xhe other received a blow which temporarily closed one eye resulted in the appearance before the Magistrate, Mr. Walton, this morning, of Louie Kit, a Chinese gardener, to answer a charge of assaulting Stanley George Matchett. He pleaded guilty. It was stated that Matchett and a girl were walking in the road when the accused rushed up to Matchett, threatening him with a knife. Matchett attempted to guard himself and received a gash in the arm. He then attacked the accused, and held him while the girl took the knife away. The accused had been on friendly ' terms with the girl's family and had ] been encouraged by the mother to pay ; attention to the girl. The assault was evidently inspired by jealousy and the accused was fortunate that the charge against him was not more serious.
Kit was sentenced to 14 days' imprisonment.
