CONSTABLE ASSAULTED
NEW GUARD MEETING.
POLICE WATCH PROCEEDINGS. After a meeting of the New Guard at Pendle Hill, Sydney, last week, a police constable was assaulted. No arrest was made, but it is understood that proceedings will be taken by summons against the constable’s alleged assailant. About 100 New Guardsmen, it was reported, assembled near the Pendle Hill post office and engaged in drills and manoeuvres of a military nature. A body of police was hurriedly dispatched from Sydney, but they took no action other than to take a keen interest in the proceedings and take notes of speeches that were made by New Guard leaders. Other police made a note of the numbers of the cars by which many of the New Guardsmen had travelled to the meeting ground. It is alleged that while Constable Spry, of Parramatta, was noting the number of a car a New Guardsman attacked him. His assailant was.restrained by other police. After the other New Guardsmen had completed their programme they quietly dispersed.
