THE BANK OF NEW ZEALAND.

London, February 10. At the half-yearly meeting of the Bank of New Zealand the Hon. Mr Glyn, the chairman, said the deposits had increased and that the credit was improving. The bank had not been affected by the failures m Australia. It was expected that £20,000 would be ca»»ed over to next year. The chairman said that the new taxation did not affect the bank, though it would considerably affect the Estates Company, The bank was reducing advances m Australia, believing it to be risky m the present state of affairs there. CAPE FRUIT. The majority of the peaches imported from the Cape were spoiled by low temperature. The rest brought from 14s to 18s per dozen. The nectarines were inferior, and realised only 2s 6d per dozen. The grapes were also in ferior. They brought 12s per 441ba. Merchants think that even these prices were only reached because Cape fruit is a novelty, and they are not likely to be maintained. Tomatoes fetched 3d per Ib. COLONIAL FINANCE.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURToT- FRIDAY,

i (Before Mr Hugo Friedlander, J.P.) I Drunkenness. — William Lambert } pleaded guilty to having been drunk the 1 previous evening, to a charge of disorderly ■ conduct, and to having resisted the polict ' constable m the execution of his duty, and damaged his uniform. The dioorderly conduct was of a very gross character, and prisoner had been guilty of it m full view of a crowd of people who were.going home from Rev. Mr Mayer's lecture. There wa3 a long list of previous convic- j dons against him, but he had not beer before the Court for two years before, . The Magistrate sent prisoner to gaol for fourteen days m all, recording a conviction on each charge. (Before Messrs Hugo Friedlander and D. Thomas, J.P's.) Lakckny.—Herbert Cecil St. Jo^n— alias Charles Lyndon, and others— pleaded guilty to the theft of several pieces of music, the property of Hillaria Wildsmith, and of the sum of 10s Bd, the property of Messrs Greenslade and others. Tha Sergeant said prisoner, who pre sented a very respectable appearance, had come toAshburtonsomeweeksago, and re presented himself to be a theatrical agent, and a traveller for the Union Printing Company, Christchurch, as well as for a photographic house. He had obtained board and lodging m the house of A. Wildsmith. While here he had appro priated a number of songs, piano pieces, etc., the property of Miss Wildsmifch, and sent them to a bookbinder, to be bound up for his own use as a book. The money he was charged with stealing, the police had since found out, was funds belonging to the Baptist Church, which prisoner had entered. He had taken the screws out of the bottoms of the Sunday school collection boxes, and carried off their contents. The charge was for the f-heffc of only 10s Bd, but there were over £3 missing. He had been sentenced m New Plymouth to six months' imprison ment for larceny as a bailee, bearing then the sounding names of Herbert Cyril Maklin Judd, and so was not new to crime. In reply to Mr Friedlander, prisoner said he had no. felonious intention m regard to the music, as the pieces had got mixed with his own and had been taken away in voluntarily. He had no apology to make for the theft from the Church. Mr Friedlander said the theft from the Church was a most costemptible, mean, and impudent offence, for which prisoner would receive the fullest punishment the law allowed the Court to inflict, viz., six months' imprisonment with hard labour. On the other charge he would simply be convicted. His Worship said it was dis graceful for a strong ablebodied young man with a fair education and reputedly respectable connections to enter upon such a career as had been disclosed to the Court, and these facts and thw circum stances surrounding the case prevented the Court from being otherwise than very severe upon the offender, who he trusted would lay the lesson to heart they were now giving him.
