CORRESPONDENCE.
SAD CASE. TO THE EDITOR O» THE PRESS,
I Sm, —Will you allow mc, through your columns, to call the attention of the public to the very sad case of drowning which occurred near Sumner on Thursday last. The unfortunate man, James Crilly, who lost his life on the occasion, had come here a few months ago from Dunedin, hoping that change of air might be beneficial, as he had been suffering for some time from the effects of a paralytic stroke, which unfitted him from prosecuting his trade as a tailor. In this, however, he was disappointed, and, being ill for a considerable time, he has left his widow and four children —the youngest an infant—totally unprovided for. lam sure that the facts of this very deserving case need only to be brought under the notice of the charitable public to meet with a generous response. Hoping you will kindly insert the above, I am, &c,
T. E. Cairns. Sydenham, 2Sth November, 1882. P.S.—Subscription lists at the various Banks.
