POISONEDBY EATING PRESERVED MEAT.
It appeaw that Hakuene, M.H.R., together with a party of Maori clergymen, with the Revs. G. Walpole and W. Beatty, lunched with Archdeacon Clarke at Auckland. The meal included a beefsteak pie and some compressed beef made into haricot steak. These were partaken of without ill effects, and next day the remnant of the haricot was added to the beefsteak pie, and it was eaten by four of the Maoris, Mr Walpole, Mr Beatty, and Mrs Clarke Nine hours afterwards all except Mr Beatty wore taken violently ill, the symptoms being purging and vomiting. Last night Mrs Clarke was considered out of danger, though still ill, and Mr Walpole has entirely recovered. Hakcuno died yesterday from the effects of the poisoning. The others are progressing favorably. Archdeacon Clarke attributes the poisoning to the preserved food having been twice cooked, but the medied men refuse to give any information to the Press.
