The Inquest on the body of the unfortunate man, Danield Welch, who lost his life at the late fire at Puketitiri was opened this morning at the Napier Hotel by the Coroner. The jury viewed the remains, but owing to the absence of Mr Israel Trask, the principal witness, the inquiry was adjourned. At a later hour in the day, Mr Trask arrived in town.
We hear that, intelligence reached Napier yesterday that the cutter Charlotte, from Lyttelton, bound to Napier, with a cargo of oats and flour, was ashore on the beach at Wakaki, twelve miles north of Wairoa, Her cargo (which we learn is insured) is said to be considerably damaged.
