student.

A 31-year-old female teacher at a Warwick school told Police she was conducting an exam in her classroom when a male student became "abusive''.

"He then pushed the teacher down some stairs to the classroom,'' a Police spokesman said. "She suffered no injuries.'' The incident follows an assault on a female teacher at a Pembroke high school last Tuesday.

The 38-year-old teacher said a 16-year-old student pushed and swore at her before leaving the classroom at the end of a class period.

Police were investigating both incidents.

During the past weekend, Police also received eight other reports of assaults, two of them also involving assaults on women by male acquaintances.

In one incident, a 37-year-old Pembroke man punched a woman in her stomach twice during an argument in the Hamilton Police Station.

The 24-year-old woman was not injured, but the man was arrested and detained.

Police were also investigating an assault by a 13-year-old on a 58-year-old Warwick man.

The man told Police he asked the boy and another youth to move off his property.

The 13-year-old argued with the man and then hit him on the mouth and arm with a cassette recorder. He also tore a wristwatch from the victim's arm.

STILL SEARCHING FOR CHURCH DOCUMENTS CRM Still searching for church documents A year after unscrupulous thieves made off with a church safe containing baptismal and other invaluable records dating back to the last century -- their whereabouts remains a mystery.

Yesterday the Ven. Ewen Ratteray, rector of St. John's Church expressed his disappointment that the documents had never reappeared despite pleas for their return, adding he feared they had been dumped in the sea.

In June last year thieves executed what St. John's Church officials believed to be a carefully planned heist during which a large safe containing money and irreplaceable marriage, baptismal and burial records was stolen.

It was believed the thieves entered the Pembroke Parish Office through an unlocked window, smashed during an earlier break-in.

Archdeacon Ratteray admitted he was "not hopeful'' that the documents were likely to resurface but renewed his plea for an anonymous return.

The theft, he said, left an enormous gap in the church's records. Those who came seeking to trace their ancestry or check the spelling of a name faced disappointment.

He added that most of the documents, some over a century old, were originals of which there were no existing copies.

"We just want them back,'' he said. "In general terms they are of no use to anybody.

"It was a highly significant event. It is very tragic and distressing.'' Since the theft, described by Archdeacon Ratteray as "not a casual break-in'', extra measures have been taken to protect church property. But in the interests of security, he would not specify what.
