THE CEMETERY ASSAULT CASE
The defence offered by counsel for the youth charged with. being too pressing in his attentions to a young lady in the cemetery must be considered peculiar. Mr Napier is reported to have pleaded, in extenuation of his client's extraordinary conduct, that he was " a very leligious young man, and the orror merely an innocent mistake. Accused thought Miss Donaldson was a particular female friend belonging to the Salvation Army." This is rather rough on the liarmy, and goes to show that even " a very religious young man " may sometimes make a urstake.
