FRACAS IN A TRAIN.
Odr Hamilton correspondent writes:—A disgraceful seen© occurred in a train on St. Patrick's Day which was returning to Cambridge from the Ngaruawah'o. regatta. It appears that when the train was near Te Rap* a man. who was under the influence of liquor, acted familiarly towards a lady passenger. Her husband objected in a mild manner, when the fellow struck him a sever® blow in the face. The husband naturally retaliated, and a fight followed. A number of ladies who were in tho compartment were splashed with blood and greatly frightened. Eventually assistance was forthcoming from another waggon, and ' the man was held down. He was unfor- , tunately allowed to escape after reaching Fraukton Junction. The police are now on the lookout for him.
