SUPREME COURT.—BANKRUPTCY.

FBIDAY, NOVEMBER 18

[Before His Honor Sir G-eovge Arney, Knight, Chief Justice.J

His Honok sat in banco this morning.

Mohi Mangakawia v. Ceaig.—Bdle foe Attachment.—Mr. MaeCormick for the plaintiff. Mr. Hesketh for the defendant.— A rule nisi for an attachment had been ob tained by Mr. Hesketh, on the part of the de fendant, to attach the body of the plain 1 iff for contempt of Court. The contempt, con sisted of the seizure of some logs of timber by the plaintiff, the property in this timber having, as was alleged, become vested in the provisional trustee in bankruptcy. The ras^ exhibits a new phase of the lone-disputed claim of iVTessrs. Thomas Crate, Harris, and Laurie's bankrupt estate and the native owner of the land, who is the plaintiff in the action. —It appeared that a person num. d J h" Macf'trlane, manager for Oral.?, but- subse quently authorised by thetrustee in bankrup cy p oceeded to take possession of the logs us an asset of the estate. He was opposed by Mohi and C. A. Harris, who were described as part ners. MoM claims the title on the soil first by Maori usage and secured by crosvn grant, issued to him and others (jointly). He alleged that Craig owed him ±800 for timber cut; that .reading in the newspapers that Grain had become bankrupt, he refused to let him have the timber, as Craig being bankrupt could not pay for it. An attempt., he sain, was mado to take forcible possession of the logs by Macfarlane, which Mohi resisted: pike head and a revolver was used. Mohi in his affidavit denied that he hud committed any contempt, he said he would obey" the smallest scrap" of paper from the Judge, but. would not recognise the authority of the Provisional Trus tee. Mt. MacCormick appeared to show cause against the rule, and read the affidavits-of My.hi, of Mau/ariane,' M. SmullfieM, C. A. Harris, jun. } and others. [Left sitting.J

THE EVERGREEN.

One of tlie most remirkable pictures that we have ever sden, and one which we be deve to be unique, is tit present on view in uowev Que< n-street, next door to Mr. S. Hague Smith's. It is ii wooden picture literally: tiie native woods of the colony, in their variOUH natural lints, supplying the pio.i eof oil and canvas. It will be supposed that such inlaying, however manifesting skill in wood-cutting, must have v clumsy appearance as a picture; but we can give the assiirab.ee that such an idea is a total error, the work viewed simply us a picture being one of extreme beauty and finish. It seems almost in crt.dibie that such a coup d'eeil could be produced by tho combination of such materials ; yet the pieces that form the picture vary mtllickiieas from a sixteenth to aa eighth of an iueli, and there is neither staiu nor paint in the whole com position, the view is a uiarino and coast scene, with, a lull-ringed ve-sel under sail. Tiie waves of the s a are hinj-uhirly pour* triiyt'd in the#i.arle<i graiu of the paitieu lar wood gi-licttd for tiie puipose. The bellying sails, the spars, ai.d cordage could i.O; be more, naturally and accurately Bli.Ovs;ii ty the. paint-biuMi. .« n 'he led, a weatkit-i eaieu ciui> stumls b Idly out, ov< mousing n prtiy linle vil a,;e mstlinii at is bus:, wbiiu he li^nihuuse, tie b"»t with i:s uceupimiV, tlie gaunt ma-fowl on li\6 shore, oilier bud* iv the distance on the win>;,oiie wei d-icokiii« lutoii soaring* iv tlie furt'gro mi tic boiling waves and undulating hills, with the crescent moon shiumg ov. r al , produce a picture so beautuul in is.if,- and so suygf-stire of sta side musings that the eje loVi/s to linger on it. ■ othing could escel the acc.irai-y aid skill «nd taste w.ith which 11 c' tints uave been biended ; and singular t« reiatf, the picture can not only bear HLSpei-tion with a magnifying but improvt'S in beauty from such inspection. We. have said the picture is unique. We bdieve it is the only realisation of wood

pa;ntinor in the world ; and on carpr nlly examining it, w« do not wo-der tliit it I'as b"en the result of Pony lrm<j year-* of lnhour. Really 'ovelvin itself. tb.epi'-tU'-P is invested with a noir interest wHpn we think of a man tnilincr so loner in difficulty without a word of outside sympathy, cheered only by the hope that, sneered at as his efforts were. lie wmld P™ ducfl a work that th« ■world would vet recognise ; and that he might have in it a provision for tli^se nearest and dearest to him. We speak of encourag ing home industries ; works of art; are re'lvps not sufficiently utilitHr'an to be embraced in the category, bnf they servp a bi'jh prn-riose amone so W agenoies, "tid a government, whether G-eneral or Pro vincial, would r?o itself honnpin conf-Tring1 on such an effort a substantial token of recognition.
