DUNEDIN.
This day. An exhaustive enquiry is going on touching the death of a child recently found in a soap box at Blueskin. The whole affair appears wrapped in mystery. The mother ia a Mrs Decosta of Timaru, and she declares that the child died, and that she * gave it to a man who promised to bury it for £q. She did not know who the man was, and she gave it him to save disgrace, as her family did not know of her condition. The night before the day on which she alleges the child died she admitted giving it laudanum. . The inquiry has been adjourned till Monday to discover the truth or otherwise of her statement.
