At the inquest on a little boy who was supposed to have died from injuries caused by a fall from a sofa in Dunedin, Dr. Macpherson said he could find no injuries to account for death. Taken in conjunction with the evidence given, the fact that there was a raw surfaoe between the little toe and the next one of the left foot, led witness to think that the child died of tetanus (lookjaw). It was a germ disease, and it was a well-known fact that the germ was to be found in the ground, and especially in manure, and there was no doubt but that the germ found its way into the system through the broken skin between the toes. Thegymptoms were exactly what would ocour in a case of tetanus. The child, his father said, was given to going about barefooted. The germ of lookjaw is very common about stable yards.

Up till 20 years ago the natives used to fish over the bank. The last Admiralty survey of the coast was made in the fifties, and apparently the existence of the bank was not then discovered.

A man hunt London. — One of the most desperate criminals in London — a notorious housebreaker— has just been captured, fie was surprised, breaking into a large house in Bermondsey, but for the moment escaped. The police were, however, in hot pursuit, and when brought to bay the man drew a revolver, but potioe constable Jones pluokily closed with, the ruffian, and with assistance affected a capture.
