ATTACK ON A BAILIFF.
Christchurch, March A bailiff who went to Chaney’s, near Kaiapoi, early this evening to take possession of the goods and chattels of a resident there, appears to have had a highly unpleasant experience. Details are meagre, but it appears that when the baililf appeared on the scene and made his business known, he was attacked furiously by the man whose goods he was about to distrain, who, armed with a fork, struck him on the head, inflicting what is reported to be a nasty wound. The bailiff was taken to a shop and found to have been seriously knocked about,. Information received from Belfast was to the effect that the baililf had been taken to Christchurch Hospital, but he had not arrived up to the time of telegraphing.
