HBH 1890 July 23 HAWKINS John The body of John HAWKINS, a steady lad employed for some time past in Mr CRERAR's shop, and who has been confined to bed with "La Grippe" for some days, was yesterday washed up by the surf near the ALBION Hotel. Deceased was being attended to by Dr. MOORE at the house of Mr FULLER, where he boarded, and was apparently progressing favourably towards recovery. Mrs FULLER left his bedside at 1 o'clock yesterday morning, after watching him for several hours, and on returning about 7 o'clock found that he had disappeared. It transpired that some little boys named TRONSON saw deceased enter the surf, which was fairly heavy, early yesterday morning. He was at once caught up and was probably killed instantly by being thrown violently against the shingle. A watch was kept on the beach all day, and his body was recovered at 3 p.m. and taken to the FULLER residence. Deceased was an orphan, and was a very trustworthy youth. It is supposed that he became delirious, as his disorder had turned to congestion of the lungs, and that in his frenzy he had rushed into the surf. When found the only clothing on the body was a pair of trousers.

HBH 1890 July 23 Poverty Bay Murder THE POVERTY BAY MURDER Gisborne-Tuesday At the R.M. Court this morning William BLACK was charged with the murder of Robert STREETER about March last. Mr A.M. NOLAN appeared for the Crown and Mr Lincoln REES for the accused. Dr INNES gave evidence as to the identification of the body and finding gunshot wounds in the head and lead in the brain Elizabeth STREETER, wife of the deceased deposed that the prisoner had been staying at her house the past twelve months. STREETER and BLACK took a fencing contract in February last and they left town. Since then she had received letters every week from BLACK which had been burned after reading. The prisoner came back to town and lodged at her house. At the end of March BLACK said that STREETER had left to come to town a fortnight before. That was the only conversation she had ever had with BLACK about her husband.. When the police interviewed her she sent immediately for BLACK, who came to town, and gave her a horse in payment for his board in case he should be arrested. BLACK gave her a wedding ring on July 9th. She suggested he should give her the ring as it was an old one, won out. Prior to STREETER's disappearance the letters from BLACK came addressed to Mrs WILLS. Afterwards he addressed her as Mrs STREETER. She had received various sums of money from BLACK for board. Mrs PRICE came to her place when BLACK was present and said "What about Bob?" meaning (STREETER). "What would he say if he came in now?" BLACK replied "No fear of his coming." STREETER had left her twice before, 12 or 16 years since, for short periods, and her idea was that he would not bother about BLACK much. Charles PRICE, a son of Mr s STREETER's first husband, was the next witness and was frequently cautioned for withholding evidence......more Mary PRICE deposed........more At this point the court adjourned
