NAPIER SHOOTING CASE.
(By lelegravh—Press Association.)
NAPIER. Monday
At the Magistrate's Court this morning, a young man, named J. Young Hannay, was charged with having fired a shot gun at three othersRobert Oolquhoun, John Miller and Fred Johnson—and was committed for trial to the Supreme Court, bail being allowed. The evidence showed that a quarrel took place in one of the main streets on the evening of the 13th inst., and that the three prosecutors afterwards followed accused to his home, for the purpose, they stated, of demanding an apology. Accused went into his house, and brought out a shot-gun, and discharged both barrels at the three, who then turned in full retreat, thinking that Hannay had brought some friends to his assistance. Oolquhoun was struck by two pellets of shot, but was only slightly injured. Hannay says he merely fired to scare the others, and when he thought they were at a safe distance.
