MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE FAILS. tPer Press Association.) Christchurch, January 12. A charge of manslaughter arising out of the death of George Shaw at Loithfield on December 29th was investigated at Amberley yesterday, James Russell being accused. The evidence showed that there was some skylarking in the bar of the Royal Hotel, Loithfield, in the course of which Russell put Shaw on a bench. After more horseplay a lump began to rise on Shaw’s neck and Shaw died as a result of laceration of a vein. The evidence showed nothing malicious in Russell’s attitude and the case was dismissed.
