Tim morning a Post reporter brought under the notice of Atr. G. F C. Campbell, thfc Valuer-General, the statement made by Captain Bell at the Farmers* Union meeting in Auckland yesterday (referred to in a telegi-am in another column) as to the alteration of a certain Government land valuer's figures after they were cent to Wellington. Mr. Campbell gave Captain Bell's charge a> flat contradiction. * The figures of a, valuer were, he said, never altered in Wellington. A valuer was an expeit and tho department coEaHerzd he was' the best judge as to the value of a- property in his own district. The Valuer-General added that ho was wiiting to ths Fanners' Union in Auckland asking to be furnished with more specific information in. connection with Captain Bell's charge. Holluian and Lawson, witnesses in an al'egcd liquor selling case, who- disappeared recently, appeared bef6re Mr. -M'Carthy, S.M., at Invercargill yesterday, in accordance with a warrant for their arrest. Inspector Mitchell stated that the men had beon asked to fight, and had boen called informers, and had gone way because of the attitude of cortain people towards them. He asked for a farther warrant fixing the time whon they would be called upon to <rivo ovidence. , The men said they h.._ gono away because they Were frightened by the behaviour of others. A warrant was issued to detain tnetn till Monday. Frank Morton, a bankriiDt, Was examined by the Official Assignee (Mf. J. Aehcroft) this morning. No creditor* wero present. In his statement the bankrupt attributed his present inability to pay bis debts (£170) to various eausei extending over tbs past five years, during which tims he had resided in Sydney, Hobart, and Dunedin. It was an onfor *~ of judgment that brought him td New Zealand two jeare ago. His wife w&* !■&. failing health, and they had five children. He had found living extraordinarily higher in New Zealand than in Australia. Last year he was led into a- n6w»paper speculation that failed. The majority of those to whom he owed money were easy or friendly people, -who had not pressed him. Ho could not provid« adequately for the pressing needs of hi* family, his wife's health caused him anxiety, and the course into which he had now beon driven would add to hi* immediate, difficulties.. He Lad not sought to evade his obligations, he had no asssts, and no immediate prospects of discharging his debts. The meeting was adjourned sine die, bankrupt being ordered to corns up for his disciiargo' at the end of four months.
