THE NAPIER INSURANCE CASE.
[BY TELEGUAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Napier, Wednesday. With reference to the allegation that the Government had refused to pay the policy on the life of the late Percival Bear, on the ground that his name was James Percival Bear, Mr. Oliver, the local resident agent, states that the statement is based on a complete misapprehension. All that has been asked for is proof that the James Percival Bear, whose relatives now claim, is the same as Percival Bear who was insured, and that a simple statutory declaration by the surviving relatives will be accepted as sufficient, proof. The relatives misunderstood what was required, hence their belief that the Department refused to pay the policy.
