AN EXPLANATION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—l learn that in the Magistrate's Court on Monday last it was stated my card was found in possession of the young woman Miss Marshall, whose death at Palmerston North last July was the subject of the investigation. Permit me to say that the only occasion on which I ever saw the unfortunate young woman was in the train when she was on her way to Palmerston. It was a cold and inclement morning, and she was evidently very ill, and also unattended. On the journey I lent her a rug, procured refreshments for her. and used those courtesies which one would naturally exercise towards a sick woman. Being asked my name I handed her ray card. I also learned her name, and a few days afterwards was shocked to learn that she had died. The information published afterwards enabled mo to gather the nature of the illness the unfortunate girl was suffering from while travelling in the train. —I am, &c, G. W. RusscLii. Christchurch, January 22nd, 1896.
