ALLEGED SERIOUS ASSAULT.
Auckland, May 28
A respectable young married woman from the Bay of Plenty, who is at present on a visit to her parents, was returning from town between 6.30 and 7 last evening. She passed the Supreme Court grounds and when within 100 yards of her parents’ house she was approached by a man. A struggle ensued and the woman managed to free herself. In her flight she met a young girl who stood by her and helped to attract the attention of two men, who were passing the end of the road. The latter immediately closed with a man indicated to them as the assailant and held him until a constable was summoned. Other passers assisted the young woman, who was in a very distressed state, to her parents’ home. She was very seriously bruised, and had an abrasion on the forehead. The man arrested gave the name of Alexander M’Masters. He is a tall, well-built, welldresssed young man about 24 years of age. He appeared at the court this morning charged with assault with criminal intent, and was remanded.
