DUNEDIN.
May 25. The death of Edward Tewsley, third son of the late Henry Tewsley, occurred on Monday. The deceased was a fine promising lad of sixteen, and was in the employ of Messrs Sargood Son and Ewen. About balf-past five o'clock in the evening groans were heard coming from the bottom of the lift (a pait of the cellar), and upon someone going to the place he discovered that the young fellow had fallen from one of the upper floors. He could not have been lying long there before he was found, and when picked up ha was insensible. Dr. Burrows was immediately called in, and the lad was removed to his home, where be died at 7 o'clock. He remained unconscious to the last. His injury, so far as ascertained, consisted of an extensive fracture of the ekull. How he came to fall down the lift is not known, and had it not been for his groaning he would have remained unnoticed when the place was closed. The Eoslyn Tramway Company, by 1728 to 1048, refused to allow their cars to be run on Sundays.
