WELLINGTON.
This day.
John Woodward, an old and respected Wellington resident, died suddenly this morning. He was working in the garden when he was seized with a fit of apoplexy, which resulted fatally. The deceased was formerly public trustee.
Arrived: The City of Carlisle, 105 days out from London.
The Local Bodies conference passed the following resolution :—" That it is absolutely necessary that some assistance in the shape of subsidy should be given to local bodies to enable them to complete the construction of roads within districts heretofore sold by the Government and wholly or partially settled, the Government having failed to provide for these necessary works out of the proceeds of the sale of such districts in times past.
The schooner, Torea, which left Lyttelton for Kaipara on Friday, ran in here yesterday, and reports a heavy southerly gale on Saturday night. The sea broke on board and washed a seaman named William Lawson overboard. No assistance could be rendered the deceased, who was a young man and shipped at Lyttelton some time ago. The Mary Bannantyne, brigantine, bound south from Greymouth, also put in, she having sprung a leak by touching on the bar on leaving the Grey.
