TIMARU.
July 22. At the Magistrate's Court this moming Patrick Clauey was charged on remand with unlawfully wounding Tim McAuliife, the well-known amateur pedestrian, with a penknife. The evi-
dence went to show that the prosecutor struck the first blow, and Claney drew his knife and used it in self-defence. Mr Beetham, the Eesident Magistrate, said he considered that JkfcAuhffe had brought the assault on himself, and he sympathised to some extent with Claney. To say how far Claney was justified, however, in using a knife in selfdefence must be for a jury to decide. The prisoner was committed for trial at the next sitting of the District Court, his own recognizance of £50 being accepted.
