AUCKLAND.
This day.
A singular accident occurred at Freeman's Bay; An excavation for a culvert had undermined a lamp post. When the lamp-lighter ran up the ladder the post gave way, precipitating the man, ladder, and a large quantity of earth into the cutting a depth of six feet. The man was partly buried in the earth, and severely injured in the back and legs.
Mr Hobbs, M.H.8., has telegraphed to the Government urging the Government to issue land scrip immediately, so that it can be exercised at the approaching sales. The Education Commissioners are still taking evidence in the matter of higher education. . ,
A meeting of the Auckland Institute showed a satisfactory progress, and liberal donations to the museum.
