ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES

[Pek Pbess Association.] V AUCKLAND, April-18. Joseph Strong, a farmer at Papakura, committed suicide on his farm on Tuesday, by blowing his head off with a gun. He had been peculiar of late. At an inquest touching the ctes.th. of a child named Mackay, medical evidence showed that death was due to starvation, owing to improper food. It transpired that Mennell, the father of the child, now in New Caledonia, left instructions not to call in a doctor.' He stated that he would rather that the child should die than have a doctor in the house. The coroner suggested the prosecution, of the father.
