NAPIER.
Tuesday.
At an inquest today on the body of John Robottom, killed last evening on the railway, it appeared when the train was close to Napier he stepped off, thinking the train had arrived at the station. Holding on by the stanchion of the carriage he was Bwung under the train and received such injuries that he died before anyone could get to him to pick him up. A man named Charles Stewart is to be brought up to> the EM. Court to-morrow on a very curious charge of appropriating jewellery, a packet containing some valuable articles of jewellery which reached the Napier post office from London, addressed to Charles Stuart, Criterion Hotel. The post office people here, knowing that Charles Stewart had been a barman at the Criterion Hotel, thought the packet was for him notwithstanding that the surname was spelt somewhat differently, and seat the packet to him at Havelock, where be was keep* ing the Pacific Hotel, and it being a regis tered packet he gave the usual receipt for it. Subsequently Charles Stuart saw a female wearing a locket, which was one of the articles he had been expecting from London.' He made enquiries at the Post* office, and was shown Charles Stewart's receipt. Stewart has been arrested. *
