WELLINGTON.
This day.
The writ for the Thorndon seat was issued this morning, and is returnable within 40 days. Dv Newman, who is a candidate for Thorndon, addressed a large meeting last night, and was awarded an unanimous vote of thanks and confidence.
A man named Walter Robertson, a journeyman baker, met his death under mysterious circumstances on the Ngahuranga railway line yesterday. He had been into town with a horse and cart, and started on the return journey. His body was found shortly after four o'clock in the afternoon in a creek some 25 feet below the road. There was a severe cut on the head, and it is conjectured that he was jerked out of the cart, and fell down the embankment. He leaves a wife and three children.
T. J. Glew, publican, was this afternoon committed for trial for perjury in connection with a declaration in relation to being placed on an electoral roll.
