BEES GO TO COURT
SYDNEY, Sept. 27. When, a swarm of bees visited the Darlinghurst courts yesterday, litigants forgot their cares in urgent speculation. The bees settled in a tree in the courtyard, near the main entrance to the High Court. As the day wore on the swarm became larger. While a crowd gathered outside the courtyard, a man tried unsuccessfully to entice the bees into a box. Then another man invitingly held out his arm, but the bees were happy in the tree, and except for a few of the less sophisticated, they would not swarm on him. Dishonoured but unstung, the wouid-be captors walked away, leaving the bees victorious.
