Sir CAHN'S touring Cricket team

The New Zealand Railways Magazine, Volume 13, Issue 10 (January 2, 1939)
Sir Julien Cahn's Eleven
A red letter date in the history of New Zealand cricket will be the day on which Sir Julien Cahn's cricket team steps ashore in New Zealand. Sir Julien, a wealthy London business-man, makes cricket his hobby, and yearly assembles a team of cricketers worthy of international ranking and takes the team on tour.

MATCH AT ROTORUA (By Telegraph Press Association.) ROTORUA,

March 15. Sir Julien Cahn's touring cricket team had to fight doggedly today to avert loss on the first innings against Bay of Plenty in a one-day game played in ideal conditions.
     The Bay, which won the toss, played an attractive innings for 233, which, in contrast to' the display of the Englishmen, was scored fast. R.. Barlow gave! a brilliant exhibition of exhilarating cricket to score 51, and N. Bayley, who faced all the visiting bowlers with the utmost confidence, scored 76.
     These two batsmen were mainly responsible for the great recovery of the Bay team, which, at one stage, had lost five for 53. There were sensations in the early part of the Englishmen's innings, when Sir Julien Cahn was dismissed with the score at 1 and Dyson went with only 2 added.
     Jackson was out with the total at 18, and Smith dismissed Oldfield' with the score at 21, Smith having taken three wickets for 11 runs. "
      After these reverses the Englishmen became more cautious, Mudge playing a sound but patient game.
      The fifth wicket fell shortly after the tea adjournment, when Heane went legbefore to Barlow for 18, with the total at 55.
      With the game in a serious position, Dempster was sent in in an effort to stop the rot, but he did not get going, being trapped leg-before by Barlow j after he had -scored only 2.  
      For the remainder of the afternoon  the English batsmen' provided a very drab exhibition in the face of steady bowling, and it was not till the final! over, when Walsh opened out to Lendrum, and as a result lost his wicket.
      Stumps were drawn at 6 o'clock with the Englishmen's score 121 for eight wickets, the. game being drawn.
     Though they  were playing on a matting wicket, this did not fully account for the drab batting display of the visitors, who, in all but fielding, were seen at a disadvantage compared with the Bay side. Details:

West Coast TimesOct. 1888Magistrate's Court, Hokitika. NZ

Charles Blake. I am a miner residing at Tunnel Terrace, Stafford. I know James Lendrum and John Pozzi. They both live near, me. I recollect the evening of Wednesday, 17th.      I saw Lendrum that evening ; he was about 160 few steps from Pozzi's house, going towards Stafford ; be told me what had occnrred.       I did not look at the injuries ; there was dark matter about his face and arm. He gave me his key and I went to his house and made up the fire.       In less than a hour Lendrum came back to his house ; I then saw that he was bruised about the head and about the arm and that the dark matter was blood. I heard nothing of the quarrel. 
William Hooper Teague l am a miner living at Tunnel Terrace, Stafford. The complainant, James Lendrum is a mate of mine ; the accused, John Pozzi, I also know, he is a neighbor.       I recollect last Wednesday evening, 17th Lendrum came to my place about 8 o'clock ; he was bruised and bleeding ; he had cuts on the arm and on the head ; he told me how be got them ; I bandaged the arm and then sent for the police ; Lendrum remained at my place till Sergeant Hannan arrived ; we .then all went to Lendrum's house.       Pozzi was standing on the road talking to women; Sergeant Hannan spoke to Pozzi and asked him how it happened ; I don't know what Pozzi said in reply.       We then went towards Pozzi's house, Mr Hannan then charged Pozzi with striking Lendrum with an iron bar.       Pozzi denied it o 'saying he had no iron bar. Pozzi picked! up two stones at the gate which, he showed. to Sergeant Hannan saying " these  are the , stones that Lendrum threw at' me."       He showed us where the scuffle took place. He gave Sergeant Hannan some stones. I examined the place ; there was blood about.       Sergeant Hannan arrested Pozzi and brought him down. I came down with them. I saw no blood on Pozzi.       I have known Lendrum for six years ; as far as I know he is a quiet, inoffensive man. I know Pozzi. I don't know that he is quarrelsome. I don't know .that there has been a disagreement, but I know that they have been on unpleasant terms. 
     Daniel Hannan. l am Sergeant of Police stationed at Stafford.       On the evening of Wednesday 17th inst,, I was sent for and went to Teague's house ; and on arriving there saw James Lendrum the complainant.      He was then suffering from several wounds on the arm and head, and bleeding profusely. In consequence of his statement I went to Pozzi's place accompanied by Lendrum and Teague.       The accused was near his own house talking to some women on the road. He had. his shirt and trousers on but no coat. I noticed that there was a lot of blood spots on his shirt.       I told him that James Lendrum had accused him of assault hitting him with an iron bar.       He said he did not strike him with an iron bar, but Lendrum had commenced the row by hitting him with a stone;       I asked him where he was struck with the stone ; he said he hit him on the right shoulder. I then asked him for a candle, aid having obtained it searched along the road for an iron bar.       The accused handed me two stones, and said those were the ones that Lendrum hit him with, and that with one of them he hit Lendrum back.       I examined the stones by candle light ; there was blood on one but not on tie other. I said there was no blood on one, and Pozzi replied that that was the one Lendrum hit him with on the shoulder ;       I continued searching along the road and he said, ''it is not on the road, here is where we hod it out." He showed me the spot ; some places were covered with blood, as also were the stones and piece of paling produced ; a heap of palings was stacked near the place.       I Searched for the bar but could not find It ; I then went into the house with the owner and searched inside, but could not find it.       I then asked the prisoner to show me his shoulder ;he did so ; I examined it but could see no mark ; I then took him into custody, and in the lock-up at Stafford I again examined him, but could find no bruises.       He had a mark on the right eye resembling a scratch ; his right arm and hand was coveted with blood';
