Trial on charge of injuring
Reihana Chase, aged 28, in the District Court yesterday, was committed for trial on a charge of injuring Allan Duncan George McKinley, with intent, on April 16. After a two-day hearing of depositions of evidence of prosecution witnesses, Messrs E. W. Pyle and J. B. Graham, Justices of the Peace, held that there was sufficient evidence to commit the defendant for trial. They remanded him in custody to July 8 pending a date for trial in the District Court. Sergeant W. P. Creasey
prosecuted, and Mr' E. Bedo appeared for the defendant. The charge arose from Mr McKinley’s allegedly being stabbed outside the New Brighton Tavern after he was said to have approached the defendant about an earlier incident. The defendant claimed when questioned by the police that he had hit Mr McKinley in self-defence. Mr Bedo submitted that there was no case to answer and that the evidence was at least as much consistent with genuine self-defence. The defendant had received a battering in a shop into which he ran.
