The ranger for the Mount Albert Borough Council recently asked in the Police Court for sureties of the peace against a woman who, he said, had called at the council yard and assaulted him by screwing his ears and smacking his face (says the Herald). He had previously prosecuted her for allowing cattle to wander. Fears were expressed at a meeting of the council on a recent evening that the action might be construed to have been taken upon the suggestion of the council, and one member, in some heat, suggested that a complete denial should be advertised. Councillors were appeased when the clerk explained he had merely expressed his own opinion when he advise'! the ranger to take proceedings. The woman was ordered by the magistrate to keep the peace for 12 months.
