DUNEDIN, Last Night.
A Chinaman was killed at Naseby to-day, by a fall of earth in a claim. An alleged case of " lambing down"' on the part of a Dunedin hotelkeeper, came before the R.M. Court this morning. The plaintiff asserts that about a fortnight ago, he came to town with a cheque, some £40 odd, and after staying at the Newmarket Hotel for two days and a half was informed that he had drank or "shouted" away all but £13 of that amount. He refused to take this, then the hotelkeeper offered him £15 and eventually gave him £20. The defence will be gone into on a future day. Cuthbert McKellar, agent for the National Bank at Mosgiel, was committed for tiial on a charge of embezzlement. Bail was allowed, himself in £400, and two sureties of £200 each.
