This day. Alexander Beattie was formally charged at the Kesident Magistrate's Court to-day with the murder of Sarah Adams, whose body was found in the creek at Pakakaib on Sunday, He was remanded at the request of the police for a week till after the inquest on the body. The police will not give any information, but, judging from what fell from hergeant - Major Thomson in Court, the inference is that the woman did not die of drowning and that there had been foul play. He said very plainly that he had evidence that the woman had been killed by some person but declined to go further. A post-mortem examination was held yesterday, and probably Mr Thomson's remarks were based upon the discoveries made thereat.
