A fatal stabbing case occurred here on Saturday night. The facts as reported are as follows :— Henry Powell, formerly in the Christchurch police, lately returned from the Kumara, and came to town on Saturday evening. A woman named Elizabeth Lynch, who was cohabiting with a German named Karl Kehede, was asked by Powell to have a drink, and they went to Barrett's hotel for that purpose. While there Lynch told Powell that her husband, meaning Kehede, was playing cards in one gf the back rooms of the hotel, and asked Powell to go home with her. Powell did so, but had not been there long when Kehede came in and turned Powell out. Kehede then locked Lynch in the house and went back to the hotel. About an hour afterwards he returned home and found Lynch and Poweil in the house together, the latter having evidently got in at one of the windows. Kehede again turned Powell out. Aftev this, according to the statement of Kehede, he being excited picked up a turner's chisel, ran after Powell, and stabed him in the side, but according to another, Powell, after being turned out, rushed at Kehede, when the latter seized the chisel and stabbed Powell, who then ran away and fainted in the street. He was taken to the Hospital by a constable, where he died on Sunday evening. At first the wound was not considered dangerous, and no measures were adopted to have Powell's depositions taken until it was too late. Kehede and Lynch have been brought up at the Magistrate's Court and remanded till to-morrow. An inquest will be held this afternoon. The Canterbury Hunt Club had their first genuine sport on Saturday, when a hare was found, and after a smart run was killed. A fall of snow occurred this morning.
