The tender of Mr. J. J. Chapman has been accepted for the purchase of the entire stock of the late Co-opera-tive Supply Association. The business it is understood will be continued at the same place under the title of Messrs Chapman and. Steel. “My experience, after weighing evidence for over 10 years,” said Mr. Justice Cooper, in the Supreme Court Auckland, “is that police officers are fair in their evidence. There may, at times, perhaps, be an unconscious bias, but 1 am bound to say that with very slignt exception, police officers don’t give bad evidence.” . Two men under the influence of liquor started a wordy argument in Custom-house Street last evening, and finally came to blows. During the fistic encounter one of the men was badly damaged about the face. The arrival of the police put a stop to the i>roceedings, and the two combatants will be charged this morning with disturbing the peace. A meeting of the Beekeepers’ Assor ciation was held on Saturday night, Mr. G. Stevenson presiding. A letter was received from the Hon. Jas. Carroll acknowledging receipt of the Association’s representations concerning the appointment of an Inspector of Apiaries for this district! Somo discussion took place regarding three resolutions forwarded from the Canterbury Beekeepers’ Association. The resolutions dealt with the legislation affecting beekeepers, and one of them strongly protested against the appointment of the late Government apiarist to the charge of the Government apiaries, “believing that there are younger, abler, and more energetic men capable of filling the position.” The meeting by - a unanimous _ vote decided to endorse the resolutions.
