A CHRISTCHURCH INCIDENT.
(Per Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day
There was trouble last night at an outdoor political meeting, addressed by Mr J. Petheriek, a candidate for Christchurch North. Someone asked if the candidate had not said that the late Mr T. E. Taylor died of certain complications^ referred to in vulgar terms, ancl Mr Petheriek answered in the negative, and asked who had said that he had made the . statement. An elderly man said that he had, and Mr Petheriek invited him to come forward ancl have it out. The man approached with his hands 'in his pockets, and the candidate asked him to come on. The man did not take his hands out of his pockets, and the candidate is alleged to liave struck Him pn fhe chest.' There were immediate cries that Mr Petheriek should be thrown into the river, but owing to the interposition of Mr McKenzie, a local supporter of no-license, the crowd was quietened and the trouble ended.
