GAVE HIM A THRASHING
“WHAT WAS COMING TO HIM.” ♦ ATTEMPT TO BREAK UP HOME. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, June 2. "He got just what was coming to him and what the defendant did was what any-father of a family should do,” said Detective-Sergeant McHugh in the Police Court when a man whose name was suppressed, was charged with assaulting Thomas Stitt. The prosecutor said that Stitt had been arranging appointments with defendant’s wife and made himself a common nuisance. He had undoubtedly tried to break up defendant’s home. Defendant paid a third man 10s to accompany him while he thrashed Stitt to see that there was fair play. The magistrate convicted and discharged defendant, but said that he was not justified in taking the law into his own hands.
