BODY FOUND.

At Twelve Mile. LATE CHARLES SWEETMAN. Yesterday afternoon all doubts as to the fate of the youth, Charles Sweetman. son of Mr and Mrs Charles Sweetman, of Maekay Street, were set at rest by the finding of his body on the beach at the Twelve Mile, between Greymouth and Barrytown. The youth, who was in his fifteenth year, warfishing for whitebait beneath the wharf on Thursday last, when he disappeared, not being seen after 1 p.m. Later his net was found, but it was realised that if he had slipped into the river, the current would doubtless carry the body to sea. The discovery of the body was made at 5 p.m. yesterday at the Twelve Mile beach by Messrs John Fox and John Bourke. The body was brought to Greymouth by Constable J. Crowley. An inquest will be held to-day. The bereaved relatives will have the sympathy of their many friends in their sad bereavement.
