Drowning Cash at New Brighton — The I-resi reports that as the City and Suburban tram was coming into New Brighton, shortly before five o'olock on Fri day evening, the guard and driver noticed a I body lying on the beach partly oovered by the water. They stoppod the tram and pulled the body out of the water. One of them then took the tram on to New Brighton, the other remaining with the i body* On receiving a telephone message from New Brighton, Constable Flewellen at once proceeded from Riohmond to the spot where the body was found, and on his arrival, ab about 6 p.m., he had the body removed to the New Brighton Hotel. On making enquiries, he learned thab Mr. J. Patterson had gone on to the pier about 4.30 p.m , had found an overcoat, hat and walking-Btick lying on the pier and had given them to the oaretaker. The body has not yeb been identified, nothing having been found on ib which might lead to its identification. The police have, however, good reaaen to believe that they can identify the body as thab of a man who was found m the Avon some time ago, havirg apparently rolled m while drunk, and was subsequently sent to gaol for a week fot\ medical treatment.
