Attempted Murder.
Auckland, Nov. 5. Yesterday afternoon a somewhat sensational incident occurred at Archhill, where a number of Chinamen have gardens. The Chinamen state that a young fellow was passing through the gardens with a dog and that a gun was fired and bit one of the Chinamen, but not seriously injuring him. The man returned in about have an hour and it is alleged fired straight at two of the Chinamen, who were working together. One was hit in the face with a couple of pellets, but not badly hurt, the other only being slightly grazed. The police are making investigations.
On Monday a man named John McSweeney, aged 32, was arrested and remanded for a week, bail being refused, on a charge of shooting the three Chinese at Arch Hill with intent to do them bodily harm. Ten Chinese pursued the man who escaped, but was arrested from the description given.
