Accidents, Offences, &c.
(Per Press Association,) Auckland, October 3. One of the cases of murder, that of Temeihana, a Maori charged with killing a woman, did not come before the Grand Jury, as accused was so manifestly insane that he had been committed to the lunatic asylum on an order of the Colonial Secretary. At the inquest on the body of David Alexander Evans (or Hopkins), who cut his throat in a boarding-house, a verdict of temporary insanity was returned. A man named Merritt was arrested yesterday on account of his extraordinary conduct in a public street. A loaded revolver was found on him, and also £162. Drink is believed to have been the cause of his behaviour.
