NELSON.
Thursday. A strange case of suicide occurred at Collingwood the other day. A man named N. C. Smith, who recently lost his wife, was on his way to give evidence in the case against the medical man. Smith called at the house of Mr Boggis and complained of being ill. Boggis there* upon went to Court to explain Smith's absence, and on returning found him dead with a piece cut out of his throat with a pocket knife. At the inquest a verdict of " Temporary insanity " was returned.
