The child, like and bland caw artist had been allowed an interview with the wife of his bosom on the preceding evening and brought his native talent to bear on the situation. Mrs Walker no doubt asoertained the whereabouts of the key of the cell, and when all was quiet gave him his discharge. The whole affair was planned with great skill and carried out in the most careful manner. The ladv made her entry through a window which lights the pangs between the cells and the office. The latch of the window was broken off and when once inside it was an easy matter to secure the keys, which ai-e kept in the office, and ojjen the cell door. Nothing was done hurriedly however. The cell door was reelosed, bolted, and rocked, and the keys hung carefully in their usual place. The baik gate was properly secured and everything was left in the usual order. The Sergeant proceeded to the house of Mrs Walker on discovering his loss.' He found her at home, of course greatly surprised on healing of her husband's 'sudden departure.

' Yesterday morning news was brought into Masterton that Mr Richmond Renall, the youngest son of Mr A. W. Renall, J. P., had been found dead at Hurunuiorangi. Constable Fleming at once rode' over to the spot where the body lay, and the cause of death was very apparent. Within a few yards of deceased was a double barrel breech loader gun, and in tlie breast of the young man was a wound where the charge had entered. The deceased had evidently while traversing the bush caught the trigger of his gun in some scrub, and from the nature of the wound death was all but instantaneous. He had been missing for several days, and the last person who had seen him alive, Mr James Sextan, states that the deceased called at his house on Monday r-orning. Mr Robert Rowe, observing that the deceased —who was a neighbour of his-was missing, went out into the hush yesterday morning to search for him, and about half-past 6 a.m. found the body lying on its back, deal, in the bush. Mr James Buokridge, another neighbor, states that the decesed informed him on Sunday evening that he was going into the hush to shoot rabbits. The body was brought | into Masterton last evening, where it awaits the usual coroner's inquiry. This is the fourth child of Mr Renall who has been the victim of a fatal accident, and we need hardly say that general sympathy is felt and expressed on all sides with the Mayor and his family, _ The D'Ortolle Tourist Troupe opened in Carterton on Wednesday evening to a very poor house.
