A SAD CASE.
Christchurch. February 24. At the inquest held to-day touching the death of the 3 A months child, named Clara Savieri, whose nude body was found wrapped up iu brown paper in Colombo-strcet yesterday, medical evidence was given, that death was due to dysentery. The child’s mother stated that on Monday night she slept with the child on the concrete floor of a yard. The child died the next morning, but she kept the body till Friday, when she put it in the space between a house and a fence in Colombo-street. The coroner said the cause of death was plain, but the behaviour of the mother was extraordinary ; it was a sad case, and she was probably unhinged by the train of events. A verdict was returned that death was due to natural causes.
