Serious Stabbing Case.
A serious.case of stabbing occurred in a house off Wellesley street,- occupied by a Mrs Dogherty, this 'afternoon, shortly before five o'clock. It appears that Mrs Dogberry was chastising her daughter Elizabeth Dogherty, a girl well-known to the police, for keeping company with Sarah Home, another young vagabond, when the girl Dogherty sprang at her mother with a table knife, with which she had been cutting bread. The point of the knife entered the woman's head, and was then turned round by the daughter, causing a very serious wound, which bled profusely; Dr Hooper was sent for, and on hii arrival dreised the wound, which he considered would not be fatal. The girl wai arrested by Constable Btrathearn, and brought to the Police Station. She will be charged at the Police Court to-morrow.—Last night's Auckland Star.
