The usual fine of 205., or 18 hours’ confinement, was inflicted. ASSAULT. Hiri Pepi was charged with assaulting Pete Hamiora. Prom the evidence it appeared that there had been a dispute over a debt of 6d., which terminated in the defendant striking the plaintiff a severe blow in the eye with his pipe, which gave her a bail black eye. His Worship considered that an assault had been proved, and fined the defendant 55., or 24 hours’ imprisonment. Considerable amusement • was caused in court by the plaintiff’s aunt rushing up the Bench to pay the fine, in order to save her gallant nephew from suffering imprisonment.
