A DANGEROUS MAN.

Electric Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, July 22. Joseph Graham, aged thirty-five years, was this morning charged with committing an assault on Alargaret Cullen, proprietress of a boardinghouse. Graham suddenly burst into Airs Cullen's kitchen, where she and a boarder were sitting. Mrs Cullen requested him to leave. On an emphatic negative coming from tbe intruder, she picked up a poker, and Graham thereupon drew from a pocket a book, between tlie leaves of which was a razor-blade. He said : ‘‘l have it in for you. I will cut your throat.” He rushed upon her. siezed her by tlie neck, and waved the weapon. The boarder rushed to the rescue, and the invader was thrown on the broad of his back. Accused protested repentance in Court. He said he was a fireman. He must have heen very drunk. The Alagistrate let him off with one month’s imprisonment. Edward Carney. a mate of Graham’s, who had uttered threats againrt Airs Cullen, was bound over to keep the peace.
