Onekawa, of Nukuhou North, was the subject of an inquest held in Whakatane before the district coroner, Mr. G. A. Brabant. The mother stated that she placed the child in a box outside the house while she was getting the mid-day meal. About five minutes later she found the box empty, and her husband discovered the child dead in a shallow stream near by. A verdict of death by drowning was returned.
