HONEYMOON FATALITY.
RESULT OP MOTOR ACCIDENT. < By TeleGrnph —T'reas Assoclntinn. Christchureh, Last Nigl An inquest on the body of Sydney Caleb Small, who was killed in a motoi accident on May 28th, when in Christchurch on his honeymoon, was continued before Mr. S. E. McCarthy, Coroner, taday. A verdict was recorded that death was due to a fractured spine and internal injuries received from the overturning of a motor car. Shortly before the accident the car was being driven at a high rate of speed, but the evidence on the point was inconclusive, though the fact that the car skidded going through a Waterhole, and the failure to reduce the speed in time to prevent skidding, would seem to suggest excessive speed and lack of vigilant outlook.
