Oct. 29, 1891 SHIPPING NEWS: Arrival - Oct. 28 - Dingadee, s.s., from Wellington. No Departures. Marriage - RICHMOND-ROCHFORT - On Tuesday, October 27th, at the Cathedral, Napier, by the Dean of Waiapu, Alfred, second son of Mr Justice RICHMOND, to Mary Lilian, only daughter of James ROCHFORT, Marybank, Napier. Clive - An inquest was held at the Faradon Hotel this-afternoon, before Mr TURNBULL, coroner, on the body of the man found in the Ngaruroro. The body was identified as that of Richard LUCAS, a man well known in the Pakowhai and surrounding districts, and until some little time ago in the employ of Messrs NELSON Bros., at Tomoana. There was no evidence to show how deceased got into the water, and a verdict of "found drowned" was returned by the jury. A man named George William HALLAM was yesterday arrested on a charge of criminally assaulting Ethel BURLEY, a girl of thirteen years of age. It appears that the complainant was sent from Dickens-street yesterday afernoon with a message to her married sister, who resides on the Marine-parade. The little girl had with her a baby sister who can walk, and the pair were playing together as they went along. When on the Marine-parade HALLAM accosted the elder girl, and talked to her of her little sister, to whom he promised to give an orange. They were walking along the pathway while the talk went on, and Ethel BURLEY had nearly reached her sister's residence when the alleged assault took place.........her cries were heard by her married sister and her aunt, who were in the house adjoining........HALLAM was afterwards confronted with the girl and her sister, and identified, and then was locked up. HALLAM, who will be brought before the Court this morning, is apparently about 26 years of age, resides with his parents, and till his arrest was in the employ of the Gas Company.
