A SAD CASE AT WELLINGTON. Wellington, September 22.
The hackneyed expression, *' poor but proud," correctly describes the unfortunate* man, William Ward, who was found dead on the beach «at Island Bay ; but at the same time the poor fellow showed , remarkable devotion to his family, which appears to have accelerated, if it did not actually cause, his' dissolution. The post-mortem examination dlscljte'e'd the fact that' the, stomach was utterly devoid of food, and it has transpired that the deceased devoted the little that he \ could procure to the sustenance of hia children, and absolutely abstained from in order that they might have it. This state of affairs was concealed 'even fromfoodhis immediate relative?, who would have assisted had they been made aware of his circumstance's. The family are being temporarily provided for by the Benevolent Institution. ■ .» ■ ;
