AUCKLAND.
December 14.
Mr O'Hara has received from the Colonel Treasurer £6 11s, the amount of a fine and costs imposed on his son, who was charged some cix months ago with aeianlting a Chinaman, subsequent evidence proving an alibi. At the inquest on the body of Robert Hardy, sashmaker, a verdict was returned that he died from excessive drinking. The evidence showed that the deceased came here three months ago from Waipukurau, Hawke's Bay, and knocked down £200 since the 19 Hi of October. He was sporting about for the last fortnight with a woman named Reilly, the divorced wife of a man named Stanarsb, of New Plymouth. The deceased was spending £5 a day. He has left a good sum of money in the Union Bank, Auckland. He was 40 years of age, and is said to have been a single man, but others state that he had a wife in Melbourne from whom he had been separated during the last twelve years. He had a brother on a Waipukurau run, and a cousin at Taranaki.
