LYNCH LAW AT WELLINGTON.
[Bv Telegraph]. WELLINGTON, Dec. 9. In an assault case in Court this morning wherein a young lady’s brother horsewhipped another young man very severely, for sending his sister an offensive note, the bench held there were aggravating circumstances and only fined him 5s dividing the costs between plaintiff and defendant. The fine and costs were collected in Court by sympathisers of the defendant, the balance being placed in the poor box. The lady it appeared was affianced to the plaintiff’s brother, who is now in Melbourne, and the rupture arose through the plaintiff receiving a bill against his brother for jewclery, which he sent to the young lady with offensive remarks attached.
