Hadfield said that about 2.30 a.m. on September 2; he received a call from the Blue Star office to take two gallons of petrol to the corner I of Aorangi road and Brookside terrace. He did this and helped two men. one of whom was the defendant, to put the petrol into their car and also to get it going. “Kiel then asked me to follow him to a house in Hollyford avenue where he said he would pay me,” said Hadfield. “He asked me the fare. ' which I told him was 15s, and he said he ’thought it was a bit tough’. He then went into the house and returned with £l. There was a bit of an argument over the price, and he handed me the £1 with one hand and struck me on the head with the other.” Hadfield said he got out of the cab, and there was an exchange of blows between him and Kiel and the other person, Frederick Rangituka Kereoka. He said they attacked him again, and he took a torch from his cab and hit Kereoka with it.
