CRIPPLE ASSAULTED
CHEMIST RECEIVES GAOL SENTENCE.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 5.
Sentenced to two months imprisonment, Edward Henry Golding, aged 35, chemist, left the dock in the Magistrates’ Court today after he had heard a sharp rebuke by the magistrate, Mr F. K. Hunt, for “ a most brutal assault.”
The incident occurred in a boardinghouse disturbance at Freeman’s Bay last night. Golding was charged with having assaulted William Eric Campbell, and he pleaded guilty. Campbell, who is a farmer residing at the boarding-house, said he heard a woman calling out, apparently in distress, and he also heard several bumps. Later Golding entered witness’s room and kicked him in the stomach and then in the face. “My nose is broken,” the witness told the magistrate. “I have never spoken to him before and never given him any provocation.” The boarding-house proprietor said he saw Golding in a most extraordinary state, apparently searching for the woman who had called out.
The magistrate: The man does not try to control himself. Here is a most brutal assault on an inoffensive man who is a cripple. He kicks him for no reason whatever.
