The " Chrisfcchurch Press" of Saturday morning says it hears an action for breach of promise of marriage has been commenced against a well-known squatter, in which large damages are claimed. It will come on for trial shortly, when some amusing revelations will be made. INFANTICIDE. A woman named Sheehan has been committed for trial for murdering her infant child by drowning. Mrs. Sheehan sad that during an attack of faintness she let the child fall into a bucket of water, and was powerless to remove it till too late. The medical evidence went to show there were no marks whatever on the child, and that it could not possibly have fallen into the bucket.
