The gold is obtained by deep sinking, but the return isalmosi fabulous, and great excitement prevailed at Nelson. A murder has also been committed at Westport, the victim having been found lying partly in Deadman’s Creek, the skull being fractured. The body was that of a man named James Lennox. No clue bad been obtained of the perpetrators of the murder.
