WIFE'S INJURY ACCIDENTAL.
HUSBAND ACQUITTED OF CAUS-
ING BODILY HARM.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) HAMILTON, Thursday.
After a short retirement, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty, in the Supreme Court at Hamilton, in . the case in which Cecil Edwin Wright, vendor, of Prankton, was charged with causing actual bodily harm to his wife.
The charge was the outcome of a domestic quarrel, which culminated in the husband throwing an iron weight in the direction of his wife and accidentally striking her on the head, resulting in a fractured skull, from which she was, at one stage,* in danger of dying. The evidence showed that the parties were now living happily together.
