INQUEST ON A BABY.
Charge of Perjury. Christchurch, August 26. The adjourned inquest was held this afternoon, concerning the death of the illegitimate child ot Margaret Hogg. The child was born on August 4th, and died through suffocation shortly afterwards. A verdict was returned that death was caused by the neglect of the mother and the putative father, David Braid, who was the only person present at the birth. Braid admitted that the evidence he had previously given—that he had never had improper relations with the girl—was false, and he was accordingly charged with perjury and remanded.
