A MAN, named THOMAS MCCLAY, has been missing since the 19th of July last, on which day he was met near the Hawkesbury Bush by two men, named Jones and M’Gilvray, who requested him to show them the way to the above Bush; he left with them for that purpose, and has not since been heard of. M’Clay is well known in the Province as an old resident, and has a wife and family residing at Waikouaiti; he is described as 50 years of age, 5 feet 10 inches in height, stout build, sallow complexion, with dark hair and eyes, small black whiskers slightly grey; generally wears a dark shooting coat and cabbage-tree hat. He is known to be a hard drinker, and it is not improbable that he may be found at some bush public house, or wayside shanty in the neighborhood of Oamaru or the Waitaki. Meantime the two men, Jones and M’Gilvray, are in custody; and any information of M’Clay will be thankfully received by the Commissioner of Police.
