DEATH OF MR GASKIN - We regret to announce that the accident to Mr Matthew Gaskin, which we noticed six weeks ago, had had a fatal result. Mr Gaskin was a member of the Taita Rifle Volunteers and on Tuesday last was buried with all the military honors to which he was entitled. The Hutt Volunteer Band, under their very able conductor, Mr Valentine, was in attendance and played the "Dead March in Saul." The deceased was followed to his grave by the members of his corps and a large number of relatives and other persons anxious to shew their respect, amongst whom were Captain Stack, Inspector of Musketry, Captain and Adjutant Cleland, Capts. Beetham, Whitewood and Mills and several subaltern officers of the Hutt and Taita corps. The whole ceremony formed a most impressive scene , such as was never before witnessed in the Hutt.
