SERIOUS ASSAULT AT SOUTH DUNEDIN.
AN ARREST MADE.
A man named Nicholas Edwards was arrested at South Dunedin on Monday night on a charge of inflicting grievous bodily harm on a man named Robert M'Kinley. At about 7 p.m., a cabman went to the South Dunedin police station with M'Kinley in his vehicle, and stated that he found him lying in Fox street, opposite to Edwarda's house, v<sry much injured. Sergeant Brown and Constable Willis conveyed the injured man to the hospital, where he was examined by Dr Gloss and Dr Anderson, who found that the man was suffering from a broken leg, that the small bones of one of his hands had been broken, and that he had a wound on the back of the head, which was bleeding freely. The police subsequently went to Ed wards' 8 house and arrested him. When they arrived there Edwards said : •' I know what you want. I came home and found the man in my house. We had a scuffle, and I put him out in the road."
On inquiries being made at the hospital on Monday night M'Kinley was reported to be progressing as favourably as possible under the circumstances, and was not in any very, serious danger.
The Agricultural department is arranging for a poultry expert to tour the colony, and interest settlers ia the breeding of poultry.
