INSULTED NEIGHBOUR
HUSBAND LATER APPEARS ON ASSAULT CHARGE From Our Own Correspondent HAMILTON, Wednesday. - When Henry James Hill, a railway worker, of Prankton, was today charged with assaulting William Stanley Hyder, a garage employee, the accused said Hyder had insulted his wife for two years. In evidence, Hyder said on June 2S he was going to work when Hill knocked him down saying that Hyder had called his wife an objectionable epithet. The trouble had arisen over dogs belonging to the parties, who were neighbours. Witness admitted appearing in court on a previous occasion for abusive language. He denied the allegations that he had said things against Mrs. Hill's character. Defendant admitted knocking down Hyder. The magistrate held there had been considerable provocation. Hyder could doubtless have avoided the assault by apologising, but he failed to do so.
The offence could not, however, be overlooked. He was convicted without a fine.
