THE BALCLUTHA STICKING-UP CASE.
A disagreeable sensation was created on Sunday by the report that a murderous assault had been committed early that morning on one of the roadmen residing at Hillend. It appears that the injured man, named Harry Teyman, Who was camped alongside of the main road, Was awoke about two a.m. by a man entering his tent. He recognised the intruder as a man Who had been working for some time past in the neighborhood, and who was known by the Dame Of Dennis Anglim Teyman asked him what he wanted, and he made an evasive reply. Immediately afterwards, he leaned over him iu the bed, and dealt him a kick in the face, ordering him, at the same time to deliver every • thing he had. The blow stunned Teyman| for the moment, but on recovering he wrestled with his antagonist. Subsequently: Teyman made his escape from the tent, and fled to a neighboring homestead, Informs tion of the affair reached the police at daylight in the morning, and Sergeant Finnegan lost no time in setting out in pursuit of the assailant, who had, in the meantime, decamped. The fact that, although Anglim had .had a stait of some hours, he was in custody within an hour or, two of the assault being made known to the police, proves that these measures were prompt as well as effective. The prisoner, when captured, denied all knowledge of the assault, but, upon examination, his clothes were found to be stained with blood. On being confronted with Teyman, _ the latter »t once recognised him as his assailant. At yesterday’s sitting of the Court, prisoner, who was remanded from Monday, was fully committed to take biatrial at the District Court. The injured man was attended to by Dr Smith. Although badly bruised, his injuries are not considered dangerous,—Leader, 22nd April.
