COMMITTED TO SUPREME COURT FOR TRIAL (United Press Association) WELLINGTON, September 26. The case against Edward Henry Golding, aged 37, a chemist, charged with assaulting Ida Winifred Whitelaw so as to cause actual bodily harm, began in the Magistrate’s Court today before Mr J. L.

When Golding entered iMrs Whitelaw endeavoured to slip out, but the accused blocked her way and slashed her with a razor, inflicting wounds which required hospital treatment.
Golding reserved his defence and was committed to the Supreme Court for trial.
Saying that this was an extremely serious matter, the Magistrate refused to grant bail.
