August 10. Dr. Michael Hanratty was brought up at Featherston on Monday charged with the manslaughter of an infant child of Mathew Cave. The information was dismissed, the Magistrate being of opinion that the evidence adduced was not sufficient to warrant a committal of the accused.

He also pointed out that it was still open to the coroner to do 80.
