Arthur Caddy, alias Alley, who was yesterday sentenced to three months, imprisonment for embezzling ships’ stores, was charged with assaulting Bert Hoare, a member of the crew of the Raranga. Complainant was helping a constable round up members of the crew. He met Caddy, who attacked him in the street, and on the wharf. Later Caddy came up behind him on the ship with an open razor. Caddy in defence told a story of a reign of terror instituted by Hoare and two others. He said these men attacked him and he got the razor to protect himself. The Magistrate said he did not attach much importance to the actual fight, but the getting of the razor was serious . He sentenced Caddy to a month’s imprisonment in addition to the previous sentence.
