THE GROVENOR HOTEL CASE.

United Press Association — By Eleotrio

London, November 20

Mr B 0. Drew, director of the Groavenor Hotel Company, has agreed to repay the Company £65,000* In August last the shareholders sued the directors, on the ground that tbe de fendants conspired to defraud the shareholders by enabling Drew, a butcher and provision dealer, to supply the hotel from his own or other shops in which he was interested at exorbitant prices, and charge for goods which were not supplied. It was alleged that Drew was a largely preponderant share holder in the Company, and the other directors were his nominees or crea tures. The jury found the conspiracy and instances of improper dealing proved, and subsequently proceedings •were taken which led to an investiga tion and rearrangement of the Com pany's affairs.

Two of the Sultan's uncles have joined the revolt.

OBITUARY.

Nr David Henderson, Belmont. It is our sad duty to chonicle the sudden death yesterday of Mr David Henderson, farmer, Belmont. Mr Henderson was in Ashburton on Saturday with one of his • sons, with the objeot of consulting a medical man in regard to the health of the young man. He stayed over night, owing to the damp weather — not in his own interest, but for his son's sake— and the two drove home together to Meth ven on Sunday. Mr Henderson waa apparently in his ordinary robust health on Monday, and with another eon engaged in tome sheep drafting. In the midst of this, however, he told his Bon he was not feeling well, and would take a rest. He did bo, but " feeling better resumed work. He, however, could not continue, and went towards home. His son did not think that anything very serious was the matter, and did not just then accompany him. A few seconds afterwards, on looking round, ~ he saw ■■■ bis father crouched on his knees. Running towards him, he found the old gentleman evidently very ill, with a slight ooza of blood from the month. Assistance was called, but Mr Henderson was past help and h. died in his wife's arms a few minutes after the seizure. Mr Henderson was a native of Sanquhar, in Scotland, and was brought up to sheep farming. He came to New Zealand in 1364, coming direct to Canterbury. He has been in Canterbury during all his New Zealand history, and after being in the employ, in various positions of trust, of several station owners, he pur chased the farm of Hillpark, where he re sided for five years until 1884, when he pur chased Belmont/ which farm has been his home ever since. Mr Henderson took a great interest in the Presbyterian Church in which be held the spiritual office of elder, and notwithstanding residence at a great distance sometimes from the preaching station, was regular in his attendance at worship, and his advice in church matters has very frequently been of great value in the past in tbe affairs of the Ash burton church at critical times when the , advice and counsel of a staid and wise man was needed. He was one of the most un assuming men in the county, and commanded the respect of a wide circle of friends, who knew well his sterling qualities. He leaves a wife and six bodb out of a family of eight •—all grown np — who have the hearty sympathy of the whole district in their sudden and painful bereavement. Owing to the suddenness of Mr Henderson's death an inquest may be neoessary, but in any case the funeral will take plaoe on Thursday, at 2.50 p.m. _____

AN OGRE WELL PUNISHED.

. • United Press Association — By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright. Wellington, November 21 At the Supreme Court to-day — before His Honor Mr Justice Edwards— a young man named W. H. M. Jobson was arraigned on two charges of attempted criminal assault upon two little girls. The jury brought in a Verdict of guilty, and recommended that severe corporal punishment be ordered in addition to any sentence imposed on the prisoner. His Honor said be entirely con curred with the jury's recommendation. It was impossible, he added, that in the annals of crime there could be a worse case of this description than that which had occupied the attention of the court that day, and it was necessary to deter evil-doers of the same description by filling them with fear for their own bodies. On the first charge he sentenced the prisoner to seven years' hard labor, and ordered that he receive fifty lashes with the cat-o'-nine-tails, . to be administered twenty-five at a time. On the other oharge he sentenced him to five years, the term to be concurrent with the other sentence.
