TOWN CLERK ASSAULTED
RELIEF WORKER FINED. By Telegraph—Presp Association CHRISTCHURCH. May 21. At the Police Court this morning, George Thomas Mouncer, relief worker, and secretly of the Lyttelton Relief Workers’ Association, pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting Frederick Hobbs, Town Clerk of Lyttelton. He was fined £5, in default a month’s gaol. Accused said there had been illfeeling between the two, and the assault was due to a sudden impulse, and was not premeditated. It was mostly a case of frayed nerves. The police said Mouncer hit Hobbs on the ear after calling at the latter’s house on Saturday night.
