(BY ELEGTRIC TELEGRAPH). (From a Correspondent.)
Clyde, October 19fch. A very mysterious case has occurred at Diybread, near Blacks. A miner on his return home on Saturday last found his wife in apparent pain and distress. She said she had been confined of a child, which was then lying at her side, dead. It has since been ascertained that the child is- the same one upon whom a coroner's inquest was held in August last' by Warden Vincent Pyke, it having been found dead in bed by its mother's side, who resides near the other woman at Drybread. The grave has been examined, and the body of the child is missing. Strange to say, the real mother of the child was found dead in bed last night. An investigation will be made tomorrow.
