HOT POTATOES THROWN AT WIFE
HUSBAND’S VIOLENCE In a domestic argument, Henry John Thackwell silenced His wife by throwing a pot of boiling potatoes over her. He pleaded guilty in the Police Court to-day to a charge of assaulting Evelyn Thackwell, his wife. Senior-Sergeant Edwards said that accused had come home drunk, thrown the potatoes over the woman and burnt her neck. The woman’s condition made the assault more grave. The magistrate, Mr. F. K. Hunt, said there was really only one thing to do with a man who knocked a woman about, but as the family was poor he would give accused a chance. He was ordered to come up for sentence any time within 12 months, and also mads subject to a prohibition order.
