RAZOR SLASHER.— A Christchurch message states that George Wilson was charged, before Mr E. C. Levvey today, with assault, and with being a rogue and a vagabond, in that he solicited alms. Evidence was given that Wilson had made a razor-slashing attack outside a Christchurch hotel on Saturday. The police stated that Wilson was addicted to drink, and had one of the worst records known. He was a beer cadger, and on Saturday, he had menaced customers with a razor. He was one of the dangerous men in New Zealand. “Well, we can’t have this razor business starting here,” said the magistrate, who sent Wilson to gaol for 12 months, on a charge of being a rogue and a vagabond, and convicted and discharged him on the assault charge.
