YOUNG GIRL ASSAULTED HUNTLY MINER FINED £5 (Prom Our Own Correspondent) HUNTLY, To-da3*. Characterising the action as a cowardly one, and promptly declining an application for the suppression of accused’s name, the Bench fined Thomas Burt, a miner, aged 39. of Huntly, £5 and costs at the ITuntly Police Court to-day for an aggravated assault on a girl, aged 11 years, at Rangiriri. Default was fixed at one month’s imprisonment. Senior-Constable Ingram stated the prisoner was a bird of passage and had nothing to lose. He said the Justice Department was pressing for more prompt payment from persons fined. The senior justice, Mr. E. J. Farrell, stated the girl’s evidence, in his experience, was the clearest ever given by one so young.
