ASSAULT ON WAITRESS
MAN SENTENCED TO MONTH’S GAOL
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, December 17. When she was stabbed with a knife in a cafe in Victoria street west on December 8, a waitress suffered a gash in her forehead and a severe cut in a finger. This was stated in evidence in the Magistrate’s Court to-day. The force of the blow to her forehead was said to have bent a stainless steel breadknife. Before the Court was Yee Yui Bing, aged 30, a storekeeper, who was charged with assaulting Amelia Mary Thomson. Mr L. G. H. Sinclair, S.M., permitted the withdrawal of an earlier charge of assault so as to cause actual bodily harm. The police said Bing was a part-time kitchen hand in the cafe where Miss Thomson was a waitress. The latter complained that cups Bing had put on a shelf had not been dried. Bing mumbled something in Chinese, and then suggested that Miss Thomson have a talk with him. When she ignored him he became annoyed and assaulted her. Defence counsel said Miss Thomson and Bing had been closely associated for some months, and the incident arose because Bing had been rejected. He had wanted to continue the association, and not to wound Miss Thomson. Bing, who pleaded guilty, was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment with hard labour. He had earlier been convicted of a breach of the Immigration Restriction Act, and ordered to be detained in prison till the first available boat. Bing was stated to be married, his wife being in China.
