PUKEHINAU TRAGEDY.
CLEMENS SENTENCED TO TWO YEARS.
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) PALMERSTON N., Last Night.
Clemens, the young man who was found guilty of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm to Frederick Ireland, at Pukehinau, came up for sentence this morning. The Chief Justice took into account the youth of the accused, and the fact that nothing was known against him. He was sentenced to two years' hard labour at Invercargill, and after that three years' reformative treatment, after which time he would be placed under the control of the Prisons' Board for a time. Hid Honour said: "You ought to sea that you brought yourself very near the risk" of your own life. It was a marvel that Ireland wais not killed. If he had been you would necessarily have lost your life also." His Honour added that the*;e appeared to be something behind the shooting that did not ooine out in evidence. , _
