A Month’s Gaol For Unprovoked Assault
On a charge of having assaulted Charles George Bradshaw at Auckland on January 24 last, Frank Kowhai* was convicted in the Police Court at Whakatane on Monday and sentenced to one month’s gaol. Messrs L. D. Lovelock and I. B. Hubbard, J’s.P., were on the Bench. Stating the police case, Constable R. F. Julian said Bradshow was standing in the bar of an Auckland hotel when Kowhai approached him, saying, “You are the b 1 did a month for. I’ll do another month for you!” Whereupon he struck Bradshaw on the right temple, causing injuries whereby Bradshaw was compelled to go to hospital. The assault was quite unprovoked. Accused was a good worker, but had been before the Court on five previous occasions, drink seeming to be the trouble.
