Stabbing Case. Timaru, Last Night.
A.t the Resident Magistrate's Court to-day, Patrick Clancy was charged on remand with assaulting T. McAuliffe, a well-known amateur pedestrian, with a penknife. The evidence went to show that the prosecutor struck the first blow, and Clancy drew the penknife and used it in self defence. Mr Beethdm, R.M., said he considered McAulitfe had brought the assault on himself, and sympathised with Clancy ; how far Clancy was justified, however, in using a knife in self defence must be for a jury to decide. The accused was committed for trial at the next sitting of the District Court, bail being accepted in his own recognisances of £50.
