Mr C. E.

A tragedy of a peculiar character odourred at Stockport on May 22ad: A marl, who was a stranger about the town, awaited uhe arrival of Alderman Marshall, wh'o, is a hotelkeeper in the city.

A man endeavoured.to interfere, in the hope, of preventing the intentions of the murderer, but the latter attempted to shoot iiim. The stranger then turned the weapdii bo his own head arid committed' suicide. At the conclusion, of the inquest at the Waikato Hospital on Tuesday, Dr. Kenny jommented Strongly on the practice; of oringing patients (often in the last stages) •ong and tiresome jotimeys in order to reach the institution.- Referring to the case, of the late Jari: Gall) he said f I would Kite co. take this opportunity of protesting against anybody—more espedially a medidal man—sending patients such a journey when they are in a such a collapsed condition.As a rule any little - chance they have of recovery, is taken from them by the useless aind cruel joiirney they are compelled to undergo: In this instance I consider it was nothing short of the basest cruelty to.send a dying man such a distance; It is ridiculous to think that we are in any .way superhuman, and a though we giro then! every care and attention upon their arrival, we can'do no more towards saving life than any other human beings.’—Waikato Times.
