since this report in your paper we have had numerous phone calls to find out what happened in the turf who it was that was hurt and who attacked him. we have also been asked if it was the landlord of the turf who was attacked. could you clarify that this incident did not take place in or around the turf and that the people who attacked this man did not come from the turf or been drinking in the turf. the only connection the turf and this incident have in common is the location which is grove street, st georges. thank you
