A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE. An account_ of a reaches us from Clapham. shocking outrage It appears that a few days ago,, a young Jady,|M : i?s. Roma Frisky, hha irhphiddntly written a letter to the Clapham Advertiser , expressing her opinion that the -Invin cibles, the Land Leaguers, and even the ■x .HQme. Rulersy .were /little than villains. Though Miss Frisky was well aware of the hatred ; which: herflettef was likely to call down upon her, being of a very.courageous temperament, she wdS bold enough to walk put upon the Clapham Common yesterday, attended, only by a favorite cat. • f . , She had not ventured,npre than twenty-five yards from her'fathers dnor when she perceivedF c h u: ph l rty'’6r seven men waliiag'‘i f apidly > -towards her. A fimtffWfPWn’iwr* passtng.closieto !her, and she was deliberating whether, she.OUght most to admire thp jbxieadth,., 9f ~h>s; shoulders or the 1 elegance of his 'that the seven men had surrounded her. One ‘of them asked her in. courtly English which was 'to' Clapham Cohi nion. Before she had time to reply take the first turn __ _ r eir mh»k«--wltb eivreloped, and she nfies, and that their belts were, wed garnished ‘arid' reVdliefs. 1 that they he Jto which they Miss Roma now suspected that all was not right, and made for home v The rohhOim mediately l feVeflcd their rifles at her and fired. By the the men missed her. One bullet was turned aside by her brooch, and the seventh embedded itself in her muff, only slightly bruising one of her hands. Now began a terrible struggle, for the / m*p, disQouragtfd at their fkilure/ flung their rifles away, and closed upon her with daggers drawn. For several minutes Miss Frisky enabled to keep them ihiife one of the men having seized a hatchet which had been previouslyii&iGealed in a neighboring bush, aimed a terrible blow at her Wad. * memeftt her favorite cat, seeing imminent peril of its mistress, hobiy’spterig'updh 1 the Would-be assassin and probably saved b yj^?king n th/5- force of the'blbw. 1 The young lady was never theless felled to the earth, and 'the BasiHalfiii’tbclJtCia'theD heela '' i ‘ : ■



When she recovered her senses"she was quit§. alogi&p ;£he ther?fpre>;went. home, add naving ’ stuck a } strip of. court plaster upon the Wound made by the hatchet, she proceeded to "make tea for so^ ; whp o l\ad:.cpme''>to tall. A short time £ift£rwards Duchess of Guelph,' who lives near, having heard of the outrage, sdrira trusty, servwt tp/ enquire; how,. Miss' Froky - was 'progressing.* With charac teristic politeness he said, “ What beasts those then raust haye ibe'en ; I should like to see the brutes hanged.’ 5 He, afterwards { said, X’/l tell you whatdt Is'Vyoir must have that aoble cat’s carte de visite taken. Hang the expense ! I’ll give dghteeSipence out of my wages il. “H/then removed his hat, mopped his headjwith a handkerchief, and took his leave. The villains have not yet been ar rested, but the police inform us they have a clue. We are glad to say that Miss Roma Frisky is progressing most favorably, and even the piece_of-stick ~ing~plasteYTs beginning to peel off. . !

We "(the under signed) have been dbing business in Ashbur ton about 3 ye&rs, and the money we have Jpst djuing that period by bankrupts, levan ters/' and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin Usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, .and ;thert is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been (the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent- heavy losses we have resolved to sell for cash ' only in future. The honest man Who' is willing to pay his . 205., in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class, article much cheaper than he ; would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give. pur v customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—-but. we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk.

Of which only 2,000 shares are now - ■ cffjr'ed to the public. Provisional Directors : Joseph Ivess, Esq-., M.H.R. H. T; Winter, Esq , J. P. Donald Williamson, Esq., Mayor of Ashburton. Hugo Friedlander, Esq. (Messrs. Fried lander Bros.) David Thomas, Esq. (Messrs. Matson, Cox and Co.) John Carter, Esq. (Messrs. Wilkin and Carter). • - William Horne,' Esq. (N.Z. Grain Agency Co.)' Dr; W. G. Ross, Joseph Clark, Esq. Octavius Digby,‘Bsq. Bankers —Bank of New Zealand. Solicitor — C. W. Purnell, Esq. Secretary, pro tern—W. H. Gundry. . The Company is -proposed to be formed for the purpose of purchasing the pro perty and-business of the Lion-Brewery Company in Ashburton. The very extensive agricultural district, in the centre of which the town of Ash-, burton is situated, is one in which a very large private as well as hotel trade is carried on, and the facilities for brewing all that could be wished, and the water of better quality for the purpose than can be found elsewhere in the Province of Canterbury. The Lion Brewery is situated on T.S. 366 and 367, at the corner of Dobson and Cass streets. .The building is of brick, with a concrete cellar, which can be extended underground at a very- small cost, and is, quite new, having been erected about twelve months. The Building and Plant is all of first claas.quality, well arranged and very com plete, and with the connection already established it is anticipated that there will be ho difficulty in extending the business, with the influence of the Company and capital, throughout Canterbury, but particularly throughout the Ashburton County. ' • The success which has attended the Brewery Companies, in every part of the world offers a great inducement to capitalists and investors to take up shares in Companies of this description, and the promoters fhave the greatest confidence in the success of the proposed Company, and have agreed to take One Thousand Pounds’ worth of fully paid up shares should the Company desire them to do so. It is further proposed to obtain the ser vices of a first-class brewer, to ensure a large and profitable trade being done. Although the nominal capital of the Company is £20,009, a comparatively small sum is required to purcha u the pre sent premises and plant of the Lion Brewery, viz., £3,000, the stock being taken at a valuation. The increased capital is required to ex tend the present premises and business, and also to erect a malthouse. It is be lieved that malting will be a very profit able branch of the Company’s business, owing to the quantity of barley grown in the immediate district. It is proposed to issue 2,000 shares only at present, but it will be left to the dis cretion of the Provisional Directors to issue as many shares as. they think desir able. It proposed to call up £2 per share,: sis required, in calls of not more than 10s per share, and at intervals, after the allot ment, of not less than three months. ' The remaining shares will be issued to the public (preference being given to existing shareholders) as the requirements of the Company devejope, and it is confi-f dently believed that a substantial premium will be obtained on them, as in the case of other Brewery Companies, such premiums to be placed to a reserve fund, and -there by strengthen the position of the Com pany. . ■ If the Company is not floated, the de posits will be returned in full to the appli cants. The Share List will be closed on Mon day, the 18th June, 1172 Business Notices. TO STATIONHOLDERS.FARfHERS, TRADESMEN, & THE READING PUBLIC. Ex s.s.
