Dr Soots then ordered that no more of the flour should be used, and he took a portion of it away, whioh he forwarded to Dr Bkey, the Government analysJ, at Wellington, receiving the following reply: " Tha flour you sent me contains arsenic in quantity. W. Skey, Analyst, Wellington." The Westport 'News' of March 30th states:— "A contemplated elopement was nipped in the bud yesterday.
