Hubbard, commission agent, was to have been held on Saturday, but although plenty of people were present, no meeting could be held, as they refused to prove in Hubbard's estate. Hubbard was Secretary of the Amateur Dramatic Club, which recently played " Our Boys" here, and incurred debts in that capacity.
