The first meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Batten and Oliver Avill be held at the Supremo Court House, Napier, at 11.30 a.m. to-morrow, and should their creditors fail to prove the same farce as enacted in AndreAv's estate Avill be repeated.

We have received the following telegram irom Mr E. Price, of Christchurch- — "Have just read letters re St. John's choir in 'last Thursday's, Friday's, and Saturday's Telegraph. As an old member of St. John's congregation I entirely endorse all ' Pewholder' says in his letter of Saturday last."

In consequence of persons having made complaints that they cannot procure frozen meat in London, the Noav Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company have published a list of butchers from whom the meat is obtainable.

From " information received " tho police made a hurried visit to the Seventy-mile Bush the other day, and calling in at some of the ex-public houses seized the alcoholic liquors they found on the premises.

As showing the vast improvement in the birds exhibited this year at the Poultry Association's show over those of last year Aye may instance as an example that Mr Cross's Houdan pullet, that took first prize in its class last slioav, and which is again exhibited much improA-cd by ago, is altogether eclipsed by the birds forwarded from Wellington and Christchurch.

It would seem from our Christchurch telegram that tho "Vice-President of the Working Men's Political Association at Napier" has not made a very successful political debut at the Cathedral City. The political meeting to advocate Sir George Grey's claims to a seat in the Ministry defeated the resolution, and treated in an equally summary manner the proposal that delegates should be sent to the centres of population to assert the rights of the people. There is a thick substratum of common sense to be found in Christchurch that no frothy rhodomontade can.disturb.'

A meeting of the creditors in the bankrupt estate of Thomas Saunders Andrews, of Napier, tailor, was held at the Supreme .Court House, Napier, at 11 a.m. to-day. Present: F. W.

In the absence of a quorum of three the Deputy Assignee adjourned the meeting until 11 a.m. to-morrow, i» accordance with tho rules of the Act.' Should no emorum be present then the meeting Avill be adjourned sine die. Apparently creditors take no interest in attending to meetings.
