(Per United Press Association.) DROWNED. Christchurch, Sept 2.. A young man named Wm. Taylor, aged 19, accompanied by his father, Wm. Taylor, senr., were proceeding to Charters Bay this morning when the boat filled and sank, the younger man being drowned. The unfortunate young man was pupil at the Lyttleton Borough School and afterwards at the Normal Training School, Christchurch. He had just, been appointed to the Charters Bay School. JUDGE GILLIES INDISPOSED. Wkllington, Sep. 2. The Evening Post says it is understood that Judge Gillies has applied for extended leave of absence on account of illhealth, and if granted it is probable that District Judge Ward will be raised temporarily to the superior bench to fill the vacancy. The question of the Wellington magistracy is not settled, Mr Broad being unwilling to leave the West Coast and it is not likely now he will accept the position.
