Other forgeries cf Hempton have come to light to a large amount. - Considerable surprise is expressed in some quarters that the defaulter was allowed to get away so easily as he did. One of his forgeries was detected, it is said, so long ago as Thursday last, and though that appears to have been settled in some way or another, that ot Mr Martin's case for £248 came to light on Saturday. It is now said that Hempton, never left by steamer on Saturday at all, and that he was seen at Rangiora on Monday or Tuesday. The funeral of the late Colonel Packe took place yesterday. A large number of persons followed his remains to their last resting place. The body was borne to the grave by members of the old No. 2, O.R.V. (now defunct), of which Colonel Packe was captain, and was followed by a large number of prominent residents and well-known Volunteer officials. In deference to the expressed wishes of the deceased no music was permitted and no funeral volley was fired.
