Loan and Mercantile Company.

[per pbess association.]

London, January 10. At the loan and Mercantile meeting Mr Stewart, the Official Receiver, al luded at length t@ the various issues of debentures. Be stated that Mr Paul bad failed to satisfactorily explain his letter to the holders of terminable de bentures who asked what their position would be. When the debentures were issued in 1892 he ought to have told them that they would have no security. The directors were also responsible in this matter. The creditors ought to hear Mr Paul's reason for not explain ing the position thoroughly. Mr Browne said that the trust deed in 1892 was pernicious nonsense. He believed that the directors had made a terrible and unfortunate mistake. They ought to have had more regard for the interests of creditors ; but in his opinion the creditors had no claim against the directors. Sir James Fergusson objected to Mr "Browne's strictures on the trust deed which had been drawn by the most eminent counsel. The reconstruction scheme would give creditors the security of mortgage with 5 per cent interest. Several shareholders asked the Re ceiver to publicly examine the directors and shareholders. The meeting was a quiet one except for an attack on Mr Mundella for selling shares. Sir James Fergusson and Mr George Russell justified his action.

Vi&ited their tent with Constable Jackson. The man professed to be making picture frames, There were a lot of young fellows about the tent when accused were arrested—Constable Jackson, re-examined, said the male prisoner had asked him to coma up about 9 o'clock, because there were a lofe of young fellows coming about the place. He said he was trying to gefe a house.—Sergeant Me ler said complaints had been made to him. The accused had been living at Sydenham. The girl bad been in St Mary's Home twelve months' ago. She owned that the man was living on the earnings of her immorality. Cross examined by Rond—The girl said you supported her in Christchurch by making picture frames —In reply to the Magis trate Rond said the girl had kept her own earnings, and he had not been living on her. Went into a tent because his money was run out. —The male prisoner was sent to gaol for three months with hard labor, and the girl remanded for com munication with the principal of St Mary's Home, as she was willing to be sent back there. Disobeying an Order for Support.— Annie O'Kane v John O'Kane.—Mr Cuihbertson, for defendant, said defen dant had been laid up for the last six months. He was willing to pay when he had the money. He had a village settle ment, and was willing to take his wife back if she would come.-—Defendant was ordered to pay £2 that day, £6 he had earned within a fortnight, and the case was adjourned for that period. —Elizabeth Ann Parkin v Frederick Parkin.—Mr Cuthbertson for plaintiff, Mr Orbell for defendant. Defendant admitted being in arrears, but had a wife and child, and had only earned £16 odd during the last six months. He was eight months in arrears, the payments due were 2a 6d per week. F. Parkin said hia earnings had averaged about 263 per week since September 1. Worked for Mr Wilaon in August about eight days on the Court House. Got no money from Reveli—took it out in contra. Defendant said if the arrears were remitted ho could only promise to pay if he had work, The matter was ordered to stand over for a month to see if defendant would keep up the payments from the present time, PoACHtiSG. — James Patterson, Philip Crum, Koberfc Dcnn, and Philip Williams were charged on the information of Her bert Mutton with using a drag net at the mouth of the Aahburlon River.—Mr Crisp appeared for the prosecution and Mr Purnell for defendants. — Herbert Mutton, ranger to the Af-hburton Acclimatisation Society, was at the mouth of the Ashburton River at 5 a.m. on Christmas morning. Saw the four de fendants there. They had a tent. Saw them again in the afternoon when Patter son was fishing in the se» with a herring net, about ten feet long, and of small mesh. Rode up to him and he said to witness the neb was his. Went back to the tent, and saw two or three small trout there. Did not see them fish in the river. — Examined by Mr Purnell— Williams had a license. Saw him catch two trout with a jrod and line.— Arthur Pilbrow had a fiohing license. Was at the mouth of the Ashburfeon river on Christmas Day. Saw defendants there. They went away on Tuesday morning. On Christmas morning saw the four defendants at 4 am, dragging a net of 3-inch mesh from ihe lagoon towards the mouth of the river. They were about a quarter of a mile from ifc—-two on each side of the stream; They dragged the net about a quarter of a mile. Ifc was not a landing net, it was about a chain and a half long—long enough to reach across ithe stream. Patterson remarked to wit ness that he was up early. Witness re plied " Yes, early enough to catch you" They drew the net across the stream at the end. Saw them run to the net and put something in a sack. Saw them again in the afternoon casting two heroin? nets. Only saw them catch one herring. Cros£» examined by Mr Purnell—Was close to defendants when they were using the long net Jit was daylight. Should call the net a trout net.—Alfred Pilbrow gave corroborative evideuce. Mr Purnell con tended that the fisheries regulation (No. 13) did not prohibit catching native sea tiah with nets. If It was contended that it did, then the regulation was ultra vires. But ib was evident the regulations were only intended to apply to imported fish. Philip Crum, one of the defendants, went to the mouth of the Ashburton on Christ mas morning to catch herring and kawhai. Had bean several times previously. Went early to catch the tide. Williams went to catch trout; ho had a license. The net was about fifteen feet long; had ropes on the net. The i net was thrown into the ses and was not dragged clown the river. Caught a few herring but no trout. Williams caught the trout that were in the tent. Examined by M.c Crisp—The length of the ropa was five or six chains. We were two on each side of the river when Pilbrow saw us. Was not aware he had no right to put * net in wichin half a mile of the river. Had seen several members of the Acclimatisation Society fishing there with De t ß< —Jas. Patterson and Robert Bonn, corroborated the last witness's evidence. Philip Williams said he w*s catching trout with a rod and line. The R.M, had no doubt the net was dragged down a portion of the river. As to the point raised by Mr Purnell, there was no doubt it was illegal to use a net at all in the Ashburton river. It seemed to have been a practice here, and he was satisfied the defendants did not intend to take trout, or he would inflict a heavy penalty. There seemed to bo a general impression that a net could be used for catching native fish at the mouth of the river, but it was erroneous, and he would only fine defendants 5s each Civil Cases.—Judgment went by de fault in the following cases :—Reid and Gray v 1 honns Dwyer, £20 4s 6d.

Company, 81 Bedford Street North Melbourne. Having just returned from the World's Fair at Chicago, and the Royal Agricultural Society's Show of England, -where I saw most of the Reapers and Binders known to Science, and having visited some of the largest Harvesting Machinery Manufactories in America, we have arrived at the conclusion that the WALTER A. WOOD SINGLE APRON REAPER AND BINDER will best fill the requirements of our farm. We have aesn and felt the evil and ex pense of running different makes of machines, and we are determined in future to stick to one stjle and make, and to carry out these views we are selling our present Binders (having three different makes), and have bought eight of WALTER A, WOOD'S SINGLE APRON MACHINES for use on our farm. ■ (Signed) R.
