FOUND DEAD.
By Telegraph—Press Association
PALMERSTON N., March 22. The local police received word from the Newberry Telephone Exchange, this morning, that the dead body of a man had been dscovered in an old and neglected whare at the rear of Mr Faire'? property, on Newberry Line. Constable Minogue was despatched to bring the body into the morgue.' On arrival at Newberry the constable found the body lying in a bunk in a state of decomposition. The man had evidently been dead some time. As far as could be judged, the deceased was a man named John Dawson, an old-age pensioner, but no one had seen him about the whare or visited the place for a long time. Nothing definite could be gathered. An inquest will be held to-morrow.
