A verdict of suicide while temporarily insane was returned by the jury in thejcase of thejdeath by shooting of W. Maltravers, clerk of the Feilding Court. During the inquest the coroner stated that the will, drawn up the previous day, contained nothing of interest in connection with the enquiry. Mr A. D. Thomson, S.M., said he knew deceased had worried a , good deal over his work, and that his memory had failed him much recently, so much so that if thedeceased had asked leave to retire the department would have [ allowed him to do so on compensation of £6OO or £7OO or more. He had frequently examined the documents of the deceased during the past few months, and always found them correct. As far as he knew there were no defalcations at all. and ha had no reason to suspect any. During the past three months a clerk had been , coming to tbe Feilding Court about three times a month to assist deceased. The deceased was not a man to speak of his troubles, and it appeared that he had just brooded over them until hia mind had become unhinged. "While riding across the bridge to Stmt, ford," says Mr H.
