A WOMAN’S TEMPER,
By Telegraph—Press Association,
Dunedin, last night.
The case of Mary Pearce, charged with the attempted murder of Jane Renwick, by shooting her with a revolver, occupied the Supreme Court all day. Mr Hanlon, for the defence, called no evidence, but made a strong speech to the jury. The jury returned a verdict of unlawfully wounding, with a recommendation to mercy on the ground of great provocation. Sentence was deferred. In the case of throwing scalding water on Mrs Elizabeth Gray, mother of Mrs Berwick, the same accused pleaded guilty to assault so as to cause actual bodily harm, and sentence was deferred.
