CARTERTON

ALLEGED ASSAULT. (“Timek-Age” Special.) At the weekly sitting of the Carterton S.M. Court the police proceeded against T. Sullivan, of Masterton, on a charge of having assaulted H. J. Kehl, also of Masterton, on the main street near the Royal Oak Hotel. Com- < plainant stated that he had been assaulted without provocation and dragged from a car in which he was riding. Defendant, who was represented by Mr C. C. Marsack, of Masterton, denied the charge, and claimed that the complainant had started the trouble by threatening to “clean him and his brother up,” and that he had hit Kehl in self-defence. After having heard the evidence the magistrate dismissed the case. DAMAGES AWARDED. The civil claim in which G. Benge proceeded against E. J. Lane was concluded at the ordinary sitting of the Magistrate’s Court when judgment was given for plain tiff for the actual damages to the cycle and costs only. The claim arose out of a collision which took ‘ place last year in High Street, when defendant, in turning round in the street was struck by a motor cycle ridden by the plaintiff. The cycle was damaged to .the extent of £lO Ils, and plaintiff also claimed special damages. TRUCK GOES OVER BANK. A truck owned by the Wairarapa South County Council, and driven by Mr R.

CARTERTON SCHOOL SOCIAL. At a meeting of ex-pupils of the Carterton School it was decided to hold a social function in August. It will be recalled that a very successful function was held last September, and it was then resolved that it be an annual one. As there' are numerous' social functions taking place in the near future it is considered that by holding the Carterton School one at a distant date, no clashing with other organisations will occur.
