(By Telegraph—Press' Association.) HASTINGS, 11th November. A military board of inquiry, consisting of Major W. Stevens, of the Central Command Headquarters, Palmerston North, and Captain M. E. Johnson, staff officer in charge of the Napier Begimental District, is being held at Napier this evening to hear evidence in connection with an accident last Saturday, when a girl named Watson, 17 years of age, was wounded by a bullet fired from a rifle range facing the Tutaekuri Eiver, on which a launch party, of which' the injured girl was a member, was picnicking. The marksmen engaged in the firing which led to the accident belong to an organisation outside military jurdisdictibn, but the circumstances _of the happening require that investigations should be made by officers of the Staff Corps.
