ALLEGED RAZOR-SLASHING
WOMAN COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. SYDNEY, October 30. A sequel to a razor-slashing affray alleged to have taken place outside the Union Theatre on October 11 was heard at Lithgow Court today, when Ivy Lilian Hughes was committed for trial at Parramatta Quarter Sessions on a charge of having assaulted and having occasioned actual bodily harm to Ethel Sunderland. A charge against Hughes of having inflicted actual bodily harm to her husband, Michael Dennis Hughes, was withdrawn, Hughes saying that he did not intend to give evidence against his wife. According to Constable Dodds, Airs. Hughes told him that she had inflicted injuries wilh a razor. Her husband and Mrs. Sunderland, she said, had been friendly for four years. She had received letters on the subject, but had refused to believe rumours until she had found out herself. She accordingly hid behind a hedge near the Presbyterian Church, and saw Hughes meet Mrs. Sunderland.
