A Legislative Councillor Drowned in a Water-hole.
(PER UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
AUCKLAND, April 16.
The Hon. H. Chamberlain was found drowned last night in a water-hole near Drury. He had been missing since Thursday last, but it was supposed he had returned to Auckland. He had gone to Drury to look after some nroperty belonging to him there, and on Thursday last went out with a spade and bucket. Telegrams arriving from' Mrs Chamberlain inquiring when he was coming home aroused suspicion of something wrong, and a .search resulted in finding the body. Death is supposed to have been purely accidental through falling into a pit or rude well used by gum diggers to collect water. Mr. Chamberlain was prospecting for coal at the time he met his death.
