CHINESE IN COURT. (BY TELEGRAPH PRESS ASSOCIATION.) AUCKLAND, This Day. A prosecution, as the result of a stabbing affray at market gardens at Panmure, Ah Chu flourishing a garden fork and wounding Shee Sing in the face during an altercation, Sing being in hospital for eleven days, was heard in the. Police Court to-day. Owing to the reluctance of the chief Crown witness, the charge, wounding so as to cause actual bodily harm Preferred against Ah Chu (27), was reduced to common assaut, accused being convicted and ordered to pay costs £4 12s. The Magistrate remarked that Shee Sing, the Chinaman assaulted, had made up his mind not to get his countryman into trouble, and it would be useless to send the case to the Supreme Court.
