Those were the days...
- The Wellingtonista
- From the newly relaunched NZ History website comes this wee gem from Today in History (actually, next week's Monday, but I couldn't wait to post it)... Two Wellington lawyers, W.V. Brewer and H. Ross, drew pistols over a legal difference in Wellington. Brewer fired into the air but 'received Mr. Ross' ball in the groin'. He died several days later. Ouch.
