At a meeting of shareholders in the New Zealand Leather Manufacturing Company directors were elected, and it was resoWed to register the company at once. Mr O. W. Clayton, the purchaser of the old telegraph office, sustained a serious injury this morning. He is having the building removed, and when a section was being lowered all the men were called to stand clear. Clayton, however, did not hear the warning, and he was struck across the hips and rendered unconscious. He is in a critical condition. The charge of manslaughter preferred against Christina Jensen was heard yesterday, and resulted in the accused being discharged.
