A Fair of Lunatics.
(Per Press Association.) DtfNEMiv, December 20. William Henry (not Henry Shortley), who shot Constable Paucoe at Clinton when the latter was arresting him, was to-day committed to the Seacliffe Lunatic Asylum by the Magistrate, observation having shown he was insane. ! At the inquest on Henry Clarke, the jury returned a verdict that he shot himself while temporarily insane. Clarke had recently sold his laundry in North North East Valley, and he had been worrying over having disposed of a business which had taken a long time to work np, for too little money. He was in easy circumstances, but of highly nervous disposition.
