The funeral of the late Captain C. A. Humfrey, formerly Under-Secretary for Defence for the colony, took place yesterday, leaving his residence at Blackbridge for St. James's churchyard, Lower Hutt. Deceased, who was seventy years of age at 'the time of his death, joined the Defence Department in September, 1878, and rose to the position of Undersecretary, to which he was appointed in October, 1889. He retired from the service in March, 1891, and has since lived a quiet life at Blackbridge. He was well-known in the city, and was held in general esteem by his many friends and acquaintances. The Battalion parade called for to- ; morrow evening has been postponed. j A meeting of persons interested in the ] formation of a Co-operative Stores So- j ciety was heltl in JthC Druids' Hall last , evening. The attendance was not as large as had been anticipated. The chair was occupied by Mr. W. T. Youn.g. It was eventually decided that those present form themselves into a, committee .and thoroughly canvass the city. The movement is being supported by the Trades. Council and the local unions. In the Nelson Magistrate's Court a day or two ago a defendant named Jones was fined in his absence for allowing a horse to stray. Shortly afterwards Jones appeared in Court, and raised the point tha-t the Court had committed a blunder. The clock was ten minutes fast by Wellington Post Office time, and his case had been dealt with before the hour mentioned in the summons — 11 o'clock. The Court considered that there was something in the objection, and decidfed to re-hear the case, as defendant said he had a defence. It is notified that trespassers on the isthmus between Queen's Drive and Miramar will bo prosecuted. This step has been taken by Mr. H. D. Crawford owing to the damage done by careless picnickers j and others. | FUNERAL NOTICE. fT^HE .Friends of the late Mrs. Sarah X Vernon. are invited to attend her Funeral, which will leave the residence of her son-in-law, Mr. A.
