MISSING VIOLIN.
INFORMATION FROM LONDON. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Wednesday. In connection with the missing violin, sent Home for identification by the beneficiaries in-the Spiller Estate, it is learned that although the late Mr. A. D. Riley was to have handled the business of identification in, London, under an arrangement with the beneficiaries, the violin reached London only three days before Mr. Riley left again for New Zealand. As he was indisposed the whole time he was in London, it is assumed that he never so much as saw the instrument. It is understood, however, that Mr. Riley's London agents were to communicate with Mr. Alfred Drury, the sculptor, who was to secure expert opinion on the violin while it was still held by the Customs officers.
