DEATH AFTER A BOYISH FIGHT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Invercargill, Wednesday. The coroner's jury found that the death of the lad lloff, after a fight with a boy younger and smaller than himself, was due to shock. The medical evidence was that the body and organs were sound, and that there was no sign of a blow to bo seen. The fight was the result of a boyish challenge, the lads not being at enmity. Roff had run across the flat to the beach, had bathed, and afterwards challenged the other to fight. The doctor said the combined excitements had possibly something to do with the boy's death, as no blow of a violent kind had been struck.
