Hinga Hapieta, a bankrupt native, of Ohangai, failed to render to the D.O.A. a statement of his affairs, or to attend the creditors’ meeting called for at the office of Air. R. S.

Hapieta was adjudicated a bankrupt on December 10, but so far as is known has not engaged a solicitor or made any attempt to disclose the details of his position to the D.O.A. or the creditors.

South Taranaki experienced a steady downpour of rain throughout the whole day to-day, and all outdoor half-holiday sports were abandoned. Although the warm rainfall must prove of very great value to the pastures, and prolong the prolific early summer growth, it has caused consider.able inconvenience to the many farmers who are in the midst of hay-making operations.
