A Domestic Difficulty
A Napier Woman stabs her Husband
A stabbing occured in Carlyle St, when a man named William ROSE, who is
the father of a grown up family was assaulted with a knife by his wife,
Catherine ROSE.
It appears that he had finished work, went home and met his wife in the
passage and asked for his tea, with the result that she used some very
strong language and on ROSE responding, she stabbed him in the face with
a knife and attempted to stab him in the breast, but without success.
ROSE secured the knife, got his face attended to by Dr CARO and went around
to the police station, where he acquainted Const. FELTON with the facts.
The constable and ROSE went to his house, but on their arrival there,
the woman would not let them in. The constable secured admission, but
was threatened with a warm time, for the woman picked up a four foot poker
and threatened to hit him with it. The constable took the article from
her and arrested her on a charge of unlawfully stabbing her husband, but
it was with great difficulty that he could get her to leave the house,
she having a child in her arms ( belonging to the wife of a Chinaman at
Meanee, who was now in hospital) which she would not leave.The next door
neighbour consented to look after the little one and the woman. ROSE was
taken to the police station. She was taken before W.R. BLYTHE JP at the
Police Court this morning and remanded on the application of Inspector

Weber Affair
Early on Wednesday morning the coroner, Mr S. JOHNSON JP proceeded to
Weber to hold an inquest upon the body of George LUNN. When within about
two miles of the township he met Mr G.D. HAMILTON & Col HERRICK and
was informed that those gentleman had held the inquest the previous day.
Under those circumstances the coroner could do nothing but retrace his
steps.
It was elicited at the inquest that LUNN's death was the result of a blow
from a blunt instrument, such as a piece of wood. Dr RIDDELL who performed
the post mortem- stated there was a clot of blood on the brain. The evidence
went onto show some men were skylarking with NOLAN who got exasperated
and struck LUNN over the head with a piece of wood. The jury committed
the prisoner for trial upon a charge of manslaughter. The reason of the
inquest being held in such a hurry was, so we are informed, because the
body showed signs of decomposition. Const LAWLESS took the prisoner away
to Wainui intending to take him on to Waipukurau via Porangahau

The ceremony took place in the English Church and a number of the fair
sex were present. The bride dressed in a becoming dress of an old gold
color, trimmed with brown and she wore the orthodox wreath of orange blossoms
and veil. Everything went off smoothly in connection with the ceremony,
but Mr SANDELL's child had to be taken out of the church on account of
it having a fit. It was taken down to the Makotuku Hotel and put in a
warm bath and Mr HYDE sent for and eventually, seemed to be progressing
very favourably.

Hall, to the number of 25 couples, to do justice to the dinner that had
been provided by Mr NEILSEN, the father of the bride. Mr FERGUSON took
the chair and also charge of the toast list. Through some misunderstanding
the musician had not arrived. Eventually a violinist was procurred and
Mr J. BARBER undertook the office of Master of Ceremonies. By the amount

lifted the weight off the strap whilst Mr BRIESKE cut it and together
