APPEAL LODGED.
The National Beekeepers’ Association of New Zealand this morning spent half an hour in committee discussing the recant case at Timaru before Mr C. R. Orr-Walker, S.M., in which £7O damages was awarded against L. F. Robins, a beekeeper. The brief facts of the case were that two horses of a neighbour were killed by being stung by bees owned by Mr Robins, and another horse was damaged. Reporting in open board, the chairman (Mr R. Gibb) said that the association had decided to support the appeal against the Magistrate’s decision. “We intend to fight the case in the Supreme Court,” he said. “ The decision strikes at the life of our industry, and we are going to stand behind Mr Robins in his appeal.”
