A BELATED POSTPONEMENT.

■■•- (Per Press Association.) .. " Dunedin, May 20. A man named Jas. W. dimming, aged 46 years, who resided at Caversfiam, died on Saturday morning, and was to have been buried to-day, but at the last minute the funeral had to be postponed. After the relatives and friends had assembled for the funeral an intimation was received from the Coroner that a post-mortem examination must be held. Deceased had been employed by the Drainage Board, and after his death the relatives served on the, Board a claim for compensation, as, in their opinion, death, was due to gas poisoning. The medical examination, however, showed that death was due to natural causes. An inquest will be held to-morrow.
