Mistaken Identity.

HOW AN IMMIGRANT LOST £800. [BY TELEGRAPH.] (From own oavu correspondent). WELLINGTON, this day. The " Evening Post," of Saturday night, sa Y * •_" \ rather curious case of mistaken identity, which has resulted in one man obtaining a large sum of money belonging to another, without using fraudulent means ha < come under our notice. It appears that aiimmWrant named John McMahon, who arrive' here in the ship Huranui a few days a»o before he left England posted a letter addressed 'John McMahon Po?t-o«icc, Vyeiliu-ton, to be called for.' This letter contained a bank draft for £300, and he k'-nt tbe duplicate. When he arrived in Wellington he went to the bank on Avhich t»> c d'-ift was draAvn, and presented the duplicate draft, but to his surprise found -bat the money had been drawn out by some other John McMahon. _ For some true past there has been living in Welling ton a man named John McMahon, who worked for Dr. Johnston and Mr. Uear. Ho bad frequently told other people that he Avas in daily expectation of receiving a sum of ibout £1000 from some friends at home, and wont to the Post-office on the arrival of every mail. In January last ho went to the Post-office and received the letter posted by the other John McMahon, and intended for himself. He naturally concluded that the enclosed draft Avas for him, and pre s.nted it at the bank, and being identified by Dr. Johnston and two other persons as John McMahon, the money was handed over to him. Shortly afterwards he lett the colony and proceeded to Melbourne, en route for England. The probability is that the man who got the money had no inten tion of defrauding anybody, and the bank authorities were perfectly justified in pay in" the money to him Avhenhis respectability was vouched for by such well-known gentle men as those who identified him. It is stated that the real owner of the money intends to proceed against the bank for the recovery of the £300. He was in the colony before, having left for England in 1874, and one of'the peculiar features of the case is that a man possessed of so much money should be allowed to come out as an immi grant at the expense of the colony. We have been informed upon good authority that the John McMahon Avho got the money, knew positively that he had a sum coming to him from England, and that he has at the present time a substantial balance in one of the Banks. —— mm

Sinking of the Hulk in Welling ton.

Painful Narrative of a Stru__?l_ Against tie Waves. (By Telpgraph). (From Our Own Correspondent) WELLINGTON, this day. Respecting the sinking of the hulk by the steamer Taupo, the " Post" says :- A most painful sensation was excited in town this morning by the neAVs that the hulk Jill Whitney had been sunk in harbour during the night, and that two lives had been sacrificed. It appears that the hulk was Ivino- at the buoy, about a quarter of a mile 5 from the Queen's Avharf, Avith about 800 tons of coal on board, the property of Captain Williams, who was also the OAvner of tbe hulk. She was under the charge of Edwin Gavey, Avho, with his Avne and infant son, lived on board, and slept last niffht in the cabin. A very severe gale was blowing, with furious squalls, and the night was very dark. The hulk was strainim-- heavily at her moorings. Shortly after midnight, Davey was suddenly awakened, and heard water rushing into the vessel He jumped up, and found the cabin full of Avater. Rousing his wife and child he hurried them on deck, there being no time to put on any clothing, for when they reached the deck the Avater already was nearly on a line with it. He rushed to the boat and had hold of the painter •when the hulk, boat, and all suddenly sank rich, under his feet. He had only time to seize one of the planks lying abent tho deck, and to get on it Avith his wire and child, when the halk disappeared, and the fury of the gale drove them rapidly to lee ward About ten minutes afterwards the child was washed off, and it Avas impossible to save it. The husband and wife continued driftim-- in the direction of Meech's Baths, but before reaching the shore the wife also Avas washed off, and lastly Davey himself lost his hold, but was driven ashore and, although greatly exhausted, managed to crawl as far as the house occupied by Mrs Davies, avlio, on being aroused, at once rendered him all assistance in her power while the alarm being given to Mr and Mrs Meech, they also promptly came to help An immediate search was made for the Avife, who Avas thought to stand some chance of being driven ashore alive. The extreme darkness made all their efforts for a long time futile, but at length the unfortunate woman was dis covered, after nearly two hours search, holdin" on to a wooden stage lying on the beach °near Meech's Baths. When found she AYas quite warm and the heart beating, but although all possible means were used to restore animation, they utterly failed, and it became evident that she had passed aW ay About 4.30 on Saturday morning the body of a child was found on the beach ouite dead. The remains of mother and child Avero removed to the morgue, where an inquest will be held to-day. The steamer Taupo was leaving for Northern Ports at the time, and it has since been ascertained that she ran into the. hulk and knocked a hole in her bottom. Jhe woman was heard screaming by the captain of the barque Adamant, who put oft in a boat to her assistance, but the night being very dark the search was fruitless. The captain of the Taupo is said to have ad mitted running doAvn the hulk, but thought no damage had been done.
