BROTHER ATTACKS SISTER.
Christchurch. April 20,
A serious attack upon a woman by her brother is reported to have occurred at Akaroa to-day, but details of the affair are at present very meagre. The facts, as alleged, and as communicated to the Christchurch police authorities, are that a man named Hitchcock, who is understood to be a resident of Dunedin, and who has been in Akaroa for the benefit of his health, had a quarrel with his sister to day, or something took place between them that caused him to become so violently angry that it is understood that he attempted to seriously injure his sister with a knife, and then attempted to take bis own life by cutting his throat. The nature of the injuries inflicted on the woman are not known.
