DUNEDIN. 3rd September.
A man named Christie, a well-known coach driver at Outram, poisoned himself this afternoon by taking 4>z9. of laudanum. The inquest will be held to-morrow. At the quarterly meeting of the Licensing Court to-day the question of the desirability of hotelkeepers being allowed to carry on racing sweeps was raised, and after discussion the Bench directed the police to bring up at the next licensing meeting a report on the matter. The Licensing Bench complimented the Dunedin publicans, and said that no city in the colony was so well off as this for good and respectably-conducted hotels.
