A JEALOUS LOVER.
(united press association.) Dunedin, April 22. A man named Henry Monfcilegre was summoned in the Police Court this morning for assaulting Mary Cusack. The evidence was singular, inasmuch as the parties were fellowservants at an hotel, and the defendant had been a persistent suitor of the complainant. Becoming jealous, however, he threatened to “kuifeher” if he did 12 months for it. Repenting next morning, he apologised, but subsequently seeing her wave her hand to a gentleman he seized her by the throat, threw her into the yard, and said he would put a carving knife into her if she persisted in refusing to speak to him. Complainant did persist in rejecting his advances, and called him an insignificant thin*, whereupon he struck her violently in the face. He was fined 40s or seven days’ imprisonment, and bound over to keep the peace.
