A BAILIFF ATTACKED
(Per United Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 17. A bailiff’s officer who went to Chaney’s, near Kaiapoi, early this evening, to take possession of goods and chattels of a resident there, ■ appears to have had a highly unpleasant experience. Details are meagre, but it appears that when the bailiff appeared on. the scene and made his business known, he was attacked furiously by the man whose goods he was about to distrain and who, armed with a fork, struck him on the head, inflicting what is reported to be a nasty wound. The bailiff was taken to a storekeeper's shop and found to have been somewhat seriously knocked about. Information received from Belfast was to the effect that he had been taken to Christchurch hospital; but he had not arrived at time of telegraphing.
