ATTEMPTED MURDER.
(per press association.)
Auckland, August 18.
At the Supreme Court, William John Parker pleaded guilty to attempting to murder his wife, bod, and mother-in-law. Judge Conolly sentenced him to 10 years' hard labour.
[Parker is a young man. He acted with great determination, and is lucky in having escaped sentence on the capital charge. After wounding his wife, he fired at the child, an infant, which, in the excitement, was locked out of the house, and lef c alone in the yard with the would be-murderer.]
