BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
(from greville’s telegram company, belter's agents.) Invercargill, July 11. A seam of coal has been discovered at Mount Hamilton. The samples retorted produced good coke. A lease of the ground has been applied for, and a company formed to prospect it. It is situated a few miles from the Kingsston extension railway. Nelson, July 11. Manson Sinclair, son of Mr Donald Sinclair, solicitor, while practising with a detonating needle revolver, got shot. One charge would not go off, and in trying to adjust the pistol the charge exploded, the ball entering his stomach. He went into the house and said he was shot, and lay down on a bed. He is still alive, but there is no hope of his recovery.
