Westport, January 20. St. Leon’s Circus has been an immense success here. Their large pavilion was crowded both nights. The show is incomparably beyond anything yet seen on this coast. They took £250 the first night, and over £2OO the second. Nelson, January 21. William Tomlinson, master of Auckland College, and son-in-law of the late Samuel Kingdon, of this city, went out this morning with a double-barrelled gun intending to shoot gulls. He was accompanied by his little son, aged 12, and in climbing up a hill on the Wakapuaka road he slipped, when the gun, a breech loader, exploded, and the shot from the cartridge entered his body like a bullet. He was shot right through the heart, and fell dead. His body has just been taken to the residence of his friends.
