FATAL ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.

A FATAL accident occurred yesterday afternoon to a little girl, Fanny Norton, daughter of Robert Norton, by falling down a well on tho premises oc cupied by her parents at Wellesloy-strcot, Jiaat end of Lorn c-st rue t. It appears that tbo child's parents were from homo at the time of tbe sad catastrophe, the fatlter being en gaged at Otahuhu, and the mother at .Now ton. Deceased and another child wero left to amuse themselves during Mrs Norton's temporary absence, and iv that interval the accident happened. Tho well in tho yard has supplied the neighbours with water until within the last few week?, when Mr Blandon, tho owner of tbe house, bad the water laid on. The well-lid was eound, but not fastened down, and the children wore in the habit of playing about tbe yard, and would sometimes rauc the lid for the purpose of dropping stones into the well, as children are apt to do. The deceased, according to the statement of her sister, opened the lid, as will be shown at the inquest, and dropped a small bottle into tbe water to get it tilled, pulling It up with a piece of ribbon, which was tied round tho neck of the bottle, and while thus amusing herself hUo lell into tbo well. Tho Bitter saw the body of deceased rise to the suriaco once or twice, and then disappear, apparently for ever. She called to a little girl named Miiichim, who told her father, MrMinchiiu, that Fanny Norton was drowned. Ho imme diately went to tho well with a clothes' prop, but failing in this, he next tried a line and hook, with which ho succeeded in bringing up tho body of the child. Dr. Purcbas and Dr. Stockwell were speedily in attendance, but their efforts to rcstoro animation w.tjre unavailing. Life waa ex tinct. THE INQUEST. An inquest was held this afternoon on fiio body of the child, at the Nottingham Castle Hotel, before I)r FhiUon, coroner, and a jury, Mr Georgo Andrews foreman.— Sergeant Clarke conducted for the police,— The jury having viewed tho body, the wit nesses were examined.—Arthur Guyon Pur clni", M.D., deposed that he was called upon yesterday about 4 o'clock p.m , to see the child ; he went immediately, and saw tho child lying on the gra-s outsido the well j he found her undre»s*d ; some of tbo neighbours were close by, and the women were rendering what assistance they could, he found the body quite cold, no pulsation ot the h&irr.Dr Stockwell came up; water w»s running out of the child's mouth, and there was froth at the noso ; they satisfied themselves that the child was dead; there was not the (lightest tign of respiration; they tried Sylvester's method. Tbe body appeared as though it bad been a long time in the well. Ue should think at least an hour. There was a bruise on the ferehea 1, and two on the body, Tho ago of the child was seven. It had tho appearance of a strong, healthy child. Did not see the parenta. They wero both from home. He examined the well, but did not measure tho deptb,—Sergeant Clarke said there were 24 feet of water, tho distance from the edgo of tho water 4ft. The well was sufficiently covered with a strong lid and hinges. He was strongly averao to wells whoro there were children, especially now, as we have a plentiful water supply. He would not say that this ■well was particularly dangerous. He had Been many in a worse condition. Ue would recommend that all welh shonld bo filled up, and ttiat water should be laid on to every house. The cause of death was ■evidently drowning. About a hundred children wore running about tho yard.— William Thomas Miocham deposed that ho was a master mariner, residing In Aborcrombie-strcot. This witness's evidence was the same as recorded above, excepting that the honk which he used did not penetrate tbo child's foot, but caught her clothes, by which means he pulled the body out of tho well,

STANDARD INSURANCE COMPANY.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—PRBSS ABSOCIATIOH),

DUNEDIN, Monday. Tins sixteenth half-yearly meeting of the shareholders in the Standard Insurance Company wa3 Lcld this afternoon, — tho Chairman of Directors (Mr John Reid) pre niding. The Chairman congratulated the shareholder on tho gratif jing report and balnnco-Hlieot submitted, iv tho face of the extremely unwholesome competition which prevails in some parts of the colony^ and tho fact that for months past the liro and marine oasuftltlcn have been more than usually numerous and disastrous. Thero is ttanding to credit of profit and loss account £9,143 14s 3d, an amount sufli cient not only to pay a 7i per cent, divi dend, but to carry tho substantial sum of £2,5U0 to credit of reserve fund, unit also to carry forward to next balf-yo»r £3,831 4s 3d, The dividend now recomnaeided b»r*ly absorbs the interest received from investments for the halt •year. The premium compares vory favourably with tho corresponding period of tho previous year, shovrin a very satisfactory incroaio. The directors, after careful consideration, havo determined to bring up for approval a motion to dispense with the pruent system of Issuing a half-yearly report and balance sheet, and in lieu thereof to make them annual, but grant the power to tho directors to decltto an interim dividend. Under tho present system a large proportion of the premiums received from wool and agricul turul business naturally comoa to account lv tho first half of the year,while the losses arisiDg from tho same business mainly fall to be met in the latter halt ot the year. The circuit of the year would thorefore show a Uirer and steadier result. An ex traordinary general meeting will have to be held during tbe month, and tho result sub mitted as required by tho articleß of associa tion. In anßwer to a question,the Chairman said, anticipating a question woaldbeputre "arding tho Alma caso, he had prepued a reply. Tho Standard is not alone in this case. Our policy w»s for £1,500, of which tw<r>tbirds wero re-insured, viz., £500 with tho Kow Zealand, and £500 with the Ade laide, and the owners had a further aum of £500 with the South British. The com paoies interested have acted together throughout in defending this action, and will bear the expense in equal proportion. Wcl consider tho decision of the Court to bo contrary to the weight of evidence, and counsel ad vises ns that tho Judge mhdirected the jury on a point of law. As the case involves a question of vital importance to underwriters, our solicitors moved tho Court for leave to appeal. This they obtained, and the com panies interested we considering their future action. Mr A. Rennie seconded the adoption of tbe report, which was unanimously agreed to. The retiring directors were re-elected.

IMPORTANT PROPERTY HALE.

Messks G. W. Biknky and Co. offered for sale to-day a numberof city aud suburban properties', aud managed to diiposo of tlum all at advanced prices. The auction nutrt was crowded, tho bidding was fsfttted, and tho remit of the sale proyes conclusively that landed property in and contiguous to the city it rising rapidly in valuo. The greatest amount of interest was cenlrsd uptm tho property in/Queen street, at proscnt leased by Mr S. Coombe». It was part of the estate of the late William Dconett, and has a frontage of 22 feet to Queen-stroot with a depth of 185 feet, aud a frontage to High-street of 23 fact. The property with the buildings upon it wus put up snbject to a lease at £520 per annum to Mr Coombes, which expires in April, 1885, and it brought the unprecedently high price of £8,300. If £1,000 is allowed fcr the building.', this means an average of £332 per foot for the ground, a figure which pro perty has never before reached in Auck- Imd, nor indeed (if we mistake no'), in any other portion of the Colony. The pur clia-er was Mr Thomas Buddie, for Mr F. SoiDcrlield, draper. The highest prices obtained previously for Queen-street pro perty ranged from £200 to £225 per foot. The most recent sale prior to the ; ona under notice was that o! the property ' which Messrs E. and A. Isaacs now occupy, aud it, although having a frontage of 33ft. to Queen-street, fetched only £3,350. The other allotments offered likewise found buj era fit good rates. Thus three lots in Durham-street West, having a frontago of 60ft. by adepthof 47Jf t. and containing three dwelling-houses sold at £10 per foot, Cap tain Br»u»d being the buyer, while Mr J. B. Morpeth bcught for £22 per foot the allotment at tho corner of Albert and Dur hatn-streetc, with the huckster's chop situated upon it. An allotment in Wynd ham-street (viz., part of lot 26, section 17) with a frontage of 21 fett by a depth of 50 feet, was sold to Mr Finlayson for £20 10s per foot. 30 acres and 26 perches of land at Manurewa were sold to Mr J. B. Morpeth for £28 per acre, and 70 acres 5 miles from Tftknpuna were sold to the same gentleman for £2 2s 6d per aero, while Mr W. Gardiner bought an allotment on the Mannkau Koad having an area of 3 roods and 20 perches, for £240. Mr Morpeth also purchased for £20 5s per acre a 30-acre paddock situated at Mangare. The sale altogether was a highly satisfactory one.

A reward of £1 is offered for the recovery of certain town land and deed stamps which were lost last night by a clerk m one of the local legal establishments. The advertisement appears cleewhere. Messrs. G W. Binney and Co. sold to-day by Son 75 Tokatea «.M. Company s shares at 12s 6d each, 10 Thames G.M. Company shares 17s 6d each. Messrs. Stiwmd Stodart being the purchasers. Six tenders were yesterday received by Mr H. G. Wade for the repairs to the Waverley Hotel, the prices varying from £225 to £239. JWe understand that the lowest tender has been accepted. The Harbour Board has decided to raise o loan of £150,000 to carry oat the con struction of the new docfet

ROTURUA LAND SALE.

The salo of the township ot Rotorua took place to-day at the Crown Lands Office. There was a very large attendance, the numbers being variously estimated at 200 and 800, and not a few of them had come from the Australian colonies and from the South. Lithographed plans were freely distributed amongst those present and the admirable arrangements made for the successful conduct of the snlo, wai a matter of general comment. Mr D. A. Tole, Commissioner of urown Lands, acted as auctioneer. All the country and rural sections were disposed of, and all the town lota with the exception of 3 and 4 of lot 40. and 6 and 9ot lot 41. In many cases tho covnty lands realised more than the freeholds aro worth. The highest prices realised for town lots in the cases of blocks IX,, X. t nnd XI. Section 14> of block X,, the upset price of which was £7 10s, realited £22, and section 12 of the same block, and n similar Upset price, sold for £19. .The strangest circumstance in connection with the Bale, is the fact that tho four unsold sections are apparently amongst the most valuable, being adjacent to the railway station reservo. Amongst the highest buyers are Colonel Fru&cr, Messrs Frater Bros., Voile and Co., Duncan, Saunders, Lacrane, £. Lcwfs, H. Cochrane, llae, Devore, Lexge, Skinner, Morpetb, Blytb> Kelly, Linubury, Goorge Fraaor, Fordjce, Kirk, and Cortett. The sale was not over until close npon two o'clock. Its result must be lounidorcd highly satisfaotory— surpataing even the most ardent expecta tions. Wo think we aro safe in stating that an averago of fully 25 per cent over the upset price has been obtained.

P.S. EFFORT.—The Harbour Master re ported, in reference to the dock dnes on this vessel, that Mr Bailey had boen a locer by frequent re-shoring, but in tho face of the proviiions of clause 12 of the Dock Regulations, it could not be expected tbat tho Effort (a vessel of 20 tons only) could occupy the whole of tho dock to the exclu sion of other vessels.—Several members thought a meeting of tbo Boord should b* held to alter the tariff to suit these cases, -It was agreed that the whole matter should be deferred, pending a report from tho Harbour-master on the time lost Wharf at tub Reclamation.—Mr E. B.
