A VIOLENT ASSAULT.
STRIKERS AND NON-UNIONISTS. Per Press Association. Timaru, Saturday Night. ~,:\ outcome of the recent trouble over ■wharf work was the prosecution of a young man named Murphy for violently assaulting C. S. Brewer because, from the offender's point of view, Brewer was a "'scab." Counsel for the defendant said that the latter was not a wharf worker. The row, however, began with the defendant enquiring, "Are you one of those scabs?" The magistrate remarked that the large attendance of men in the court indicated that the assault was more than an ordinary squabble, and imposed a fine of £5 and costs (265), or fourteen days' imprisonment, half the fine to go towards complainant's medical expenses (which defendant promised to pay). Complainant's nasal bone was broken.
