THE LATE EDWIN WELCOME.

An inquest was held yesterday afternoon at Glcoson's Hotol before Dr. Philson, coroner, and a jury, on the body of Edwin Welcome Walter Gregory, foreman. Sergeant Andrew Clarke conducted on tho part of the police. The jury having viewed the body,the following witnosses were called:— Constable Luke McDonnell deposed that at 0.45 on the evening of the 19th he saw tho deceased near the toll-house on the wharf. He stopped for a minute or so, and then walked on. He appeared quite sober. Saw no more of him. Had seen him before, but did not know him by name. When he heard of his being drowned, he went to look at him, and recognised the body as that of the man he had seen on the wharf. Thero was a good deal of froth about the nose and mouth.

Charles Bailey deposed that he was a boat-builder, residing in Nelson-street. Did not know deceased. He went yester day, at 1 o'clock, to his yard, Hobspn street, and saw the body of a man floating in the water near the slip, about 30 feet from the breastwork. He immediately in formed tho police (Constable Mackay). The body was taken to the Morgue. Life was quite oxtinct. Dr, John M. Moore deposed that lie lived in Symonds-street, Identified the body as that of Edwin Welcome. Saw him on Easter Tuesday, the 15th inst., at his con sulting rooms, Queen-street. He called to pay an account for a patient in New Ply mouth. In February and March he at tended professionally upon deceased, and removed a tumour from his head. He was subject to apoplectic fits. He was addicted, at intervals, to drinking. He believed drowning to have been the immediate cause of death.

Edward Hare, a carpenter, residing in Turner-street, off Queen-street, had known deceased for twelve months ; lie was an accountant and commission agent at New Plymouth ; his age was 5G ; his wife, he believed, was living. Last saw deceased on Friday near tho Opera House, leaning against a lamppost ; he was intoxicated, lie had much difficulty in getting him home to witness's house, where he was staying; he gave him a cup of coffee and got him into bed. Noticed in taking him home that lie had not his massive gold locket and gold chain. He asked liim about them. Ho searched his pockets, but they were gone. The watch he found in his pocket and handed it to witness (Mr Hare) to take care of; the watch and some clothing were still in his pos session. Seeing that he had gone to sleep, he retired, leaving tho jet burning. The next morning, about six, he went into his room, and found that he had gone out. He immediately went in search of him, but was unable to find him. He spent the greater part of Saturday in hunting for him, and was told by Constable Sole that he had seen Welcome near the Governor Browne Hotel at 5.30 a.m., and that he was sober. Heard from the proprietor of the Pacific Hotel that Welcome was taking a "nip" in the hotel between 1 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. He left a full description of the man with the police. Despite every effort to discover him, he was unable to trace him. On Sunday afternoon a constable called and said a man had been drowned in the harbour answering the de scription which he had given. He went to the Morgue and identified him. Deceased did not take his meals very regularly, espe cially when drinking. He took no drink in his (Mr Hare's) house. The bruise on his forehead was occasioned by a fill some time before. Deceased had about fifteen shillings in his pocket when lie last left the house, and a gold ring on his finger. He arrived from New Plymouth on Sunday, the 13th, and at that time he was possessed of a large bundle of notes. His money went, and deceased could only account for his loss by saying that he had been making a fool of himself. He was not in the habit of frequenting the Opera House. Could not say that deceased was indebted to him beyond his week's board.

Isaac Broad, watchmaker, of Albert street, deposed that he had known Mr Welcome for 11 years. Last saw him about 6 o'clock on Saturday evening. He called at the shop. Invited him to take a cup of tea with him. He declined, and said "No, I willseeyou again bye and bye." He did not call. He was slightly under the influence of liquor. That was the last ho saw of him. Ho was in the habit of calling several times a day. He made no purchases. To Sergeant Clarke: He generally drank porter. He knew nothing of the missing chain and locket. Knew that he was subject to fits several years ago at New Plymouth.

To the Coroner: He believed him to be of sound mind. The wife of deceased was at Guernsey, in the Channel Islands. He did not refuse to give information to the police concerning him.—Constable Edward Mackay gave evidence as to examining the body. Took a gold ring from his finger, in which was engraved "E. Welcome." Found 13s on him, and articles which he produced. The body was fully clothed with tho excep tion of the head. Had not found the hat. —The coroner said he had received a tele gram from Dr. O'Carroll, of Plymouth, who stated that Edwind Welcome had been sub ject to epilepsy. His proposal of assurance had been refused. Had attended him for twenty years.—Several questions from Mr Waymouth and Mr Hare being answered, the jury considered the evidence. The jury returned a verdict of "Foymd drowned."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Broken Footpaths.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —I do not know whose particular duty it is to mend the broken footpaths, which are seen pretty plentifully in different parts of this city. We have always understood that the owners of a ship are responsible for any nets of their commanders performed in tho execution of their duty, whether good, bad, or indifferent. So we must look to tho Mayor of Auckland, who has assumed the like responsibility in regard to the municipal officers, and if from their negligence I became seriously injured, on the same trait of rgaspoihg I should look to the Mayor for pecuniary redress. Last night, using railway par lance.abqut 8.30, whilst I was quietly pro ceeding homewards along the footpath ad joining Russell's new building in lower Queen-street, there being no, moon at the time, and only sufQcient light from the solidary lamp to enahle'a person to seethe darkness and npt the holes, inequalities, and broken surface of the path, then by putting my foot on the side of a hole,where a hole was not expected and ought not to havo been, my foot most suddenly and unexpectedly becamo so twisted under my body that from tho violence of the pain and immediate swelling acoruing upon it, I quite thought my ankle was either dislocated or fraotured. After rest ing some time and examining the part, it was found that nothing beyond a bad sprain had occurred. Had my ankle been fractured or dislocated, I should have gone at the Mayor for heavy damages, which I should have got, too, and deservedly; for I swear by the Southern Cross that the Mayor nor his officers have any legal rjgb,t, al'b,eit their being the city oonseifYfttors, to occultly in flict bodily injury upon mo or my kind whilst quietly and peaoeably wending my way homewards, night or day; which was as near as possible being effected—firstly, by their negligence in repairing the damaged footpath, and secondly tox not providing an adequate light to enable travelling citrons tp. avoid the dangers. The Mayor conld %d no escaping loop-hole, as, to my knowledge, this muoh-frequented path has boen in the same disgraoeful con dition for more than six full months. lam still suffering groat pain, both in tongue and foot, and " by the Lord Harry," if they do not at ono get this footpath mendod, and an additional lamp to the wharf's approach, I shall say, should the former or present Mayor get their ankles broken or jarred in tho same locality, I am sorry, but serve 'cm right, Whilst writing on city improvements, I may say_ that on another night I was very near biting off tho front third of my tongue, from a sudden jerk of the body, caused by a series of dissolutions of what should be a continued flat flag pavement opposite the Waitomata Hotel. It hap pened thiswise: A great clapping and cheering suddenly drew my attention down Customs-street, elicited by Blondln's topsy turvy attitude upon a tight-rope, his bodily delineations showing forth to all around in the full effulgence of the artificially bright and coloured lights Of course, I did not quite bite off my tongue's tip, otherwise I oould not havo applied so readily and loudly the great big D to Blondin as being the cause of ray agony. I certainly did upon the spur of the moment apply a very big capital D to Blondin, but have regretted it ever since feeling the D should, have been pitched heavily upon the.Mayor's head, for another of his flagrant derelictions of duty. This portion of path, as an intended flag-pave ment, a more execrable bit could no where bo found. Before I conclude, I must tell the Mayor a little anecdote I would have told him in his Maw—'

teto a t<.te, were it not for mv maimed ankle, and could it painlessly convey me thither; my tongue is so confoundedly soro from' the unexpected bite it sustained that to essay to say what I wished would end in failure. I shall do the next best thing, viz., tell him privately, Mr Editor, in your widely read journal. Well, a new chum, regarding mo from my prying and glaw basen manner for a colonist only, just one bit older than him self, remarked, "'Tis apparently a fine climate here. I was told this town very much resembled Paris. But how curious to all are the cattle markets to be held in the main streets !" I replied, " Where do they?" He said, " Under the ugly sheds up Queen-street; they be cattle sheds, am 't em?" I said : " Oh, you are a new'un," inwardiy thinking, not saying from my tongue's sore ness, that had the Mayor any gumption and wish to give it a Parisian aspect, he would prescribe a . handsome verandah pattern and allow no deviation from said pattern.—l am, foe, A Very Quiet Man Queen-street, April 19th, 1884.

Hoodlums in Churches.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Being desirous of attending the Sunday-school anniversary services held at one of our city churches last evening, I took a seat in the gallery in order to obtain a better view of tho organ, which I had never seen (although a resident here for several years). In the same pew sat threo [young fellows about IS to 20 years of ago', who from their general behaviour and hilarity seemed as if they were in a theatre instead of tho honse of God Having with diffi culty listened to tho addresses of two or threo of the speakers, and feelino disgusted at the continued senseless giggling of tho said hoodlums, I took my leave. Whilst descending the stairs I discovered that tho simpletons had, during the singing of one of the hymns removed my hat, and placed another, the same shape, but smaller, in its place. On returning with it for my own during tho singing of another hymn, the three larrikins were anxiously awaiting my appearance and seemed almost convulsed with laughter and were unable, with the hymn-books ir_ front of their faces, to conceal their sport or amusement. Now, sir, it must be admitted that this must be great mockery on the park of such creatures as these (and I fear there are more or less to be found connected with all our colonial churches and chapels) who appear to take part in our religious services, and, during the greater part of the time, carry on all kinds of frivolity to the dis traction of those who attend to worship or for edification. I think it Mould be well if an example were occasionally made of such depraved triflers and mockers by ejecting them from the services, as is sometimes done at the meetings of the Salvation Army. Apologising for intruding on your valuable space—l am, &c, Wesley. April 16,1884.

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evenfno Star I Dear Sir,-, wish to add my testimony to tha c! licacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's OiL Your columns have contained, f£m ___£ o time, expressions o_ gratitude from persons.? known respectability, and having satisfiedmy self of the genuineness of the cures effected r obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping.? wouldmc ceed in relieving me. For the past seven months I have Buffered severely from a pa™ ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of tlio most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, cortiu>:ed to bold its own in my system. My sleep at last began to be aft'ei'tcd and my whole system very much reduced. The. most careful treatment failed to give mo relief and I then applied nearly every advertised' remedy. 'I he s. latica was principally located" in my Ic.'t thigli, and the pain at: tunes was mo3t excruciating. In spito of tho. most thorough applications, and tlio great est care and attention on my part • ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, a_ -y. forlorn hope, I determined to apply St Jacobsi Oil. and from that time the pain began toi diminish. My sleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At firs. I re garded tho cessation from pain as only •a. temporary one, scarcely daring to hopo that the euro was completo; but I havo gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again. _.' must confess t'nat I tried the Oil in abso lute despair. I had had no Bleep for three or. four nights previously, and my system was very low. The success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue to recommend it to every sufferer who cornea within range of my influence. What medical skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regard It as tao greatest boon of the age. I am, dear Sir, Youra faithfully, John Lex. Ashbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883.
