BLENHEIM.
May 26. It is stated that a man named Daniel Lee, who died at Havelock on the 10th instant, was stabbed two months previously with a file in the region of the heart by a woman named Bandin with whom he cohabited. Lee was attended for the stab by a Havelock quack, and a day or two before his death he was seen by Dr Commock, It is supposed that the latter gentleman knew nothing of the stab, and when Lee died gave a certificate to the effect that death resulted from typhoid fever. The police heard nothing of the case until a few days ago, but have since prosecuted enquiries, with the result that Lee's body will be exhumed, and a post mortem examination made. Inspector Goodall has gone to Havelock to superintend the arrangements for the inquest, and conduct the case for the police.
