THREE INHUMAN FELLOWS.
(By Telegraph,) Christchurch, Jane 8. At the inquest on the body of Edmund Eobinson, an old naan aged 70, who was knocked down by a buggy near Bangiora on Saturday, the evidence showed that O.W. Chinnernay, F. Chinnernay, and George Buckman, three young men who were driving in the buggy, placed the old man, who was insensible, on the side of the road where a horseman could have ridden over him, and then went on two or three miles to Bangiora to inform the police. They took the horse out of the buggy, and one of them went to get his haircut before taking any steps to get relief for the sufferer. The night was very dark and rainy, and a considerable time elapsed before they returned to the gpot with a constable and drove the sufferer to a doctor. The medical evidence showed that deceased died from long-standing congestion of the lungs, brought to a close by the shock of the accident. The three young men were severely censured by the Coroner and the Jury for their inhuman conduct in leaving the old man to die as they had done.
