A FORCIBLE ATTEMPT TO COLLECT ACCOUNT
AN AGGRESSIVE BAKER ASSAULTS ELDERLY MAN (From Our Own Correspondent.) PUKEKOHE, To-day. For having assaulted an elderly man, William Gordon MacPherson, a resident of Pukekohe, was fined £2 by Mr. J. W. Poynton, S.M., yesterday. The complainant, John Thomas, a Paerata bootmaker, stated that accused called at his shop and asked his wife when he might expect payment of the bread account. When informed that there was no prospect of paying it immediately, MacPherson became abusive and witness and his wife pushed him out through the door, and accused struck him. The magistrate took the view that MacPherson was the aggressor and fined him £2, half of the amount to be paid to Thomas. He was also ordered to pay 15s costs.
