Defendant Fined £2
(From
WAIPUKURAU, Last NTglit. "I'm a union man and I can'u stand for that." With these words AVilliam Gidde^ns, labourer, of Racecourse road, Waipukurau, went up to a Waipukurau farmer, Robert Alexander Kyle, in the main street on a recent evening and- struck liim on the jaw, although there was a crowd in the street at tho time. As a result Giddens appeared in the Magistrate's Court to-day to answer an assault charge and was fined £2 in default seven days' imprisonment by Mr. J. Miller, S.M. It was alleged that ill-feeling existed between the two because Kyle had employed a Flock House boy on his farm in preference to Giddens's son. For the defence, Mr- D. W. Neild submitted that defendant's ill-health had caused his irritability. He was a married man with a very large family.
