NAPIER.
(From our own Correspondent.) This day. The Melancholy Deathof a Young Lady. With reference to Mr Wright's letter to the Star, the Telegraph says :— •• Miss Wright had been ill about ten days, and it was not till the day before her death that medical advice was taken. On the morning of her death she was better. The doctor attended her, and at night he was again sent for, but by the time the messenger arrived she was dead. Jf negligence was shewn on the part of anyone, it was on the part of her friends in not calling in advice till too late." Jurisdiction of Court. The New Zealand. Gazette abolishes the East Coast District Court. The jurisdiction of the R.M. Court at Napier ia once more raised to £100.
Shocking Accident. A horrid accident occurred to an immigrant by the' Clarence.' He was employed quarrying, when the earth slipped all on him, burying him beneath. When dag out he was found alive, but had sustained dislocation of the hip aud fracture of a thigh bone just above the knee. It is the most complicated surgical case that has ever occurred in the Napier hospital.
