The Evening Star. MONDAY, JULY 11, 1870.

A case of consider ble interest, if only from its novelty, was heard by tlie Magis trates co-day, namely, a charge of selling intoxicating drinks to a drunken woman. .Air. Inspector Brabum very judiciously did not press for the ?u\l ponal'y—a fine of £20. The hotel kec-per himself had been absent, and by common consent it appears to hare boon regarded as no offence. If the police, aft^r DOW having drawn attention to the matter, proceed in the same course without (ear or favor they wiil deserve and receive the thanks of every one that wishes well to his fellow men. Prink is not an evil but a blessing; tho abuse of it is the bane of society ; and at the b°.r of the publichonse that a^use can bo, to a large ext< nt, if not wholly, prevented. The majority of our hotel-keepers refuse drink to a person ur.d r the influence or' driak ; their proper feelings hare no effect, for they know well that the drunk ard wiil get ii; elsewhere. if the police act fearlessly in this matter Ihcy will con fer a benefit on the decent hotel-keeper, and an incalculable Messing on the public. Drink to a drunken man is poison and madness ; and there is no one bol 1 enough to advocate tho right of any roan to inflict such an injury. l-'o Constable James Clark<> we feel warranted in tender ing tho cordial thanks of all good citizsns ; and we trust that not only he, but every other constabl". aad Mr. Inspector Bro ham, will persevere tili they make giritig drink to a drunken man or woman, a ter ror in the city. Thbbe was a capital attendance at the Frince of Wales Theatre on Saturday evening, when the fine drama, of " Tlie Moral Brand" was played, and passed off successfully. To-night "The Mariners Compass," and "The Irish Attorney," are tiie pieces announced. An inquest was held on Friday, at the Thame«, on the body of Martin Kelly, a watchman, who was found drowned. Tho evidence went to show that too deceased was a hoary drinker, and .the verdict was " found drowned."

An inquest was held on Saturday, at Shortland, on the body of John Windsor. It appeared, from the evidence, that de ceased was a victim to drinlr, and the verdict was that death was <mused by heart disease and brain ducaso ac celerated by drink, want, and exposure.

The inquest on tha body »f James Dnrant, the men who was found dead on ths Kauwaeranga stream, was concluded on Friday, i-vidence was produced to iden tify the bod3 r, and the jn-y brought in a verdict of " found dead."

The Theatre Koyal will sguin be open ed on Wednesday evening next, by an excellent company under the manage ment of Miss Joey Cougenlieim. They open in two excellent comedies, viz. " The Love Chase," and " Founded on Fncts," which ought to draw a good Louse.

':he Cakandini Concerts.—There was acain a good attendance at tile Now City Hull on Saturday evening, when this talented family gave their sixth concert. An excellent and varied programme was gone through, in the second part of which Madame Carandini quite excelled herself in that beautiful song, "Annie Laurie," It was indeed a magnificent piece of sinking, and ia alone well worth going to hear. Madame Carindini, afc the close of the song, was loudly called for, and, on appearing, and bowing her ac knowledgment?, was showered with bouquets from all parts uf the house. Among the many ge.iis sang on Satur day, we may mention " Eing on, Sweet Angilus," by JVfiss Jiosina, and "The L=idy of the Ley:," and " Tlio Murmur of the Shell," hy Mm Fannie. Jo* Small was "all there ' and created much amusement in his character song. Ano ther capital programme is announced for this evening, and we perceive that on Wednesday Miss Rosimi takes her bene fit, when we hope the Hall will be crowded. As will be seen from another column, the second iv the series of entertainments in connection with the Mechanics' Insti tute will be held this evening, and from the talent—amateur and professional—to take pan, we anticipate an exceedingly pleasant evening. .'.ll friends of the institute, and all who lik-:; an agreeable entertainment, should "roll up" on the occasion. A meeting of the members < f No. 1 Company Auckland Itifle Volunteers wili bo_ held at the Drill-shed, at 7 o'clock this evening, for the election of a lieu tenant and other business.

THE HERO.

The s.s. Hero is expected to arrive from Sydney and Melbourne, to-morrow, She will in all probability bring the English news viz Suez. Should she be detained in Sydney, she will no doubt bi'ing on our portion of the mail.

THE WONGA WONGA.

There is some conversation in the city as to whether the Wonga Wonga is behind her time. It may be well to state, that not till next Wednesday, at 7 p.m., will she have been out 893 hours from Auckland, the time iv which sha performed her first trip to Hono lulu and back. It was expected that she might possibly be 24 hours earlier this trip, from less detention in the islands. In such case she may be looked for to-morrow.

Mr. West on applied for immediate execu tion. Ife had authority from the company to make the application. Application granted. COOPER Y. C'OECGTUN. Tin's ca?e was referred to the arbitration of Mr. Hesketh. HANCOCK V. LEWIS. Mr. HesUeth appeared for plaintiff; Mr. Wynn for defendant. 'J his was an action to recover damages for breach of contract. It appeared that Messrs. Lewis put up to auction 70 casks of Dunedin ale. The plaintiff said lie was the highest bidder. The ale was advertised to be sold " without reserve" to the highest, bon i fide bidder. The defence was that no sale of beer by auction took place.

Gabriel L.'wii deposed that on (lie 51st of March the beer was advertised to be sold. Before the sale was to take place, told those present that although the number of hogsheads advertised was seventy, he had only t.v. enty-seven, and he could not sell that quantity. Mr. De:m demanded the sale of the quantity advertised. Witness therefore declined to sell any. Witness said he asked for "bids" for the twenty-seven hogs heads. Mr. Dean made a bid at 12s fi i for the seventy hog? cads, but witness did not acknowledge the " bid." There was another " bid" of 15s, but witness then told the people that he would " pa?s the beer." He did not sell any of the beer by auction. Witness could not deliver what was demanded, and therefore he declined to sell.

'1 homas Dean said he attended the auction mart of Messrs. Lewis, for the purpose of purchasing the ale advertised. Attended on behalf of the plaintiff. Mr. Gabriel re.id the advertisement before proceeding with the sale. He said the sale was positively " without reserve." He said to the people " It is entirely in your hands ; there is no reserve whatever." He mentioned 70 hogsheads as the number to be sold. Mr. Lewis told his man to get a sample and hand it round. Witness bid J.2s 6d, and the defendant shortly after said he would not take that, but witness could "have it for £1." Witness s ore positively that it was after he bid the 12s 6d that Mr. Lewis reduced the number of hogshead?. The witness contradicted the evidence of the last witness in all material particulars. He was cross-examined by Mr. Wynn, for the purpose of testing the accuracy of his recollection of all the facts. (Left sitting.)

MR. S.H. SMITH'S ESTATE.

IMPORTANT MEETING OF CftE DITOES.

THIS DAY.

At eleven o'clock this morning a meeting of the creditors iv the estate of Mr. S. H. Smith was held at the stores of Mr. W. J. Hurst, Queen-street —Mr. H. Isaacs in the chair. Among the creditors present were the following-.—Messrs. T. H. Hall, J. S Maefarlane, H. Potter, J. B. Russell, D Goldie, Mathews, Tole, Knox, Eead, J. W McLauchlin, Fisher, C. Monk, Eraser (Eraser and Tinne).Williams, Buchanan, Gr.W. Owen, Abbott, W.J. Hurst, W. S.Laurie, Jeffcott, Winks, J, M. Lennox, Honeyman, and E* Porter. Mr. S. H. Smith was also present at the meeting. The Chairman having read the advertis nient convening the meeting, Mr. W. J. Hurst addressed the meeting. He said that the object of meeting together that morning was to take into consideration the matter of S. H. Smith. He did not see that there was any special reasons why the creditors should accept the proposed dividend of 2s. 6d. in the pound, to be paid in two, three, six and nine months. He thought the estate should be placed in Court, so that it might be fully investigated, and if gone into at once, he believed it would realise much more than 2s 6d in the pound. Mr. Smith at various times had made statements to his creditors, assuring them that he was perfectly solvent. The consequences were, that in' this community, as well a3 elsewhere where they had commercial relations, would be most ruinous. There was one creditor not present who had made statements reflecting on Mr. Smith ; and lie understood Mr. Smith was ready to deny those statements. He re ferred to Mr. Xonks. Ho could not help thinking Uiafc in this extraordinary proceeding of accepting a composition of 2= 6d iv the pound, an>l handing over the property to this individual, they could attain nj end whatever, and that would only J§ a continuance of that system of bold pro mises, the belief in which had brought the creditors into their present position. Mr. Smith, above all men, ought to stand forward an honest man, and his proper course woidd be to step forward and say "He would not be misconstrued by the community—that he had been an honest man hitherto, and that he would hand over all his estate for equal distribution among his creditors, and would court every enquiry into his business transac tions." Th it would have been his course, instead of which ho went rounJ to his creditors, an 1 by means of certain representa tions obtained their signatures.

Mr. Hurst was hero interrupted by Mr. Russell, requesting him to name the parties. After some further remarks Mr. tlurst said he would move the follow ing resolution : —"That, in the opinion of this meeting, there are no such special circum stances to lead the creditors of 2>fr. S. H. Smith lo accent the proposed dividend of 2s 6d in the pound, inasmuch in four de ferred payments of 74 d, each extend in" over twelve mouths. But, on the contrary, from the representation made by Mr. Smith to some of his principal creditors at a time when he was hopelessly insolvent, combined with the reckless character of his trading, and having regard to the commercial morality of the community, and the effect the acceptance of such offer would have, not only here but elsewhere, it is resolved that every etf'ort be made to place the estate in Court in order that the case may be fully investigated, and the implied stigma on the character of Mr. Smith cither confirmed or removed."

Mr. Abbott Mien addressed the meeting at some length, and, in the course of his re marks, said that, at a previous meeting, he hud suggested that some of the creditors should be appointed to examine the books and thoroughly investigate the matter. Several very unpleasant remarks had been passed outside with reference to himself, and he had wished for an opportunity to explain tho matter. Mr. Lennox next addressed the meeting, and said that persons should not make state ments unless they were in a position to Bub stanliate them. Many things had been said against Mr. Smith by persons who were afraid to attend that Meeting. A deal of conversation then took place be tween Messrs. Smith, Russell, Abbott, and others. Mr. Wrr.LTA.M3 said there was no doubt that Mr. Hmith was a worthy sort of man, and in his proper position would do very weli. He should not meddle with big steamers, they were things he knew nothing about. It was no wonder lie had failed. Me considered the best thing he could do would be to piss through the Court. Mr. J. S. TVIACF.VRLAKE then spoke, after which Mr. BtTSSßlili ajrain addressed the meeting, and in his remarks said that., by the failure of Mr. Smith, he had lost £<100. He himself censured Mr. Smith; but there was no doubt had the wheel of fortune turned out right, he would have been regarded as an enterprising man; as it was, he (Mr. Russell) would pre fer 2s. 6d. to I*. in the pound, which he thought would be the case if Mr. Smith went through the C'ou t. Mr. Russell said that he bad no doubt, if all were known, there was. a skeleton in many a house. The resolution was then put to the meeting, but for want of a seconder fell to the ground. Mr. H uhst then moved a second resolution, appointing two persons to look into the affairs of the estate, which was not carried. Subsequently Mr. Smith expressed his wil lingness thnt two of his creditors —Messrs. Isaacs and Abbott —should be chosen to enquire into the estate.

Some discussion then ensued, and the meet ing adjourned— practically, nothing having been done.

Thomas Boukne and Thomas H. Craw ford ha7e become insolvent. Meetings of creditors are advertised in tlie following estnles: — Henry PJiippard Kirk wood, 16th instant.; Henry jJavison. 9tli inst. ; Francis White, 9ili inst.

THE EAST COAST.

AEEIVAL OF THE

'COMERANG.'

HAUHAUS IN DISTRESS.

SIX PERISH IN THE SNOW.—OTHERS

MISSING,

TONGARISO IN A STATE OF EEUPTION.

By the arrival of the Comerang, from Napier, we are placed in possession of files to the sth instant-. Most cf the news has been antici pated. Makarini and his followers, of the Uriwera, have capitulated, and several dead bodies of rebels have been found in the snow ; others are missing. All the Uriweras are hiding themselves. The Haivke's Bay Herald of the sth inst. says : —" Tongariro continues in a state of violent eruption, throwing up large stones, and emitting flame, visible after nightfall. But the most remarkable fact connected with these phenomena is that they are accompanied by great noises, distinctly heard at intervals in the neighbourhood of "Napier, probably 80 miles disLant, and resembling the sound of a distant cannonade. The noises in question were at once put down to the proper cause, but, lest there should be any mistake, we availed ourselves of the courte3y of S. Locke, Esq., R.M., for the Taupo district, who tele graphed to Tapuaeharuru, and received a reply confirmatory of the facts we have stated, but adding that the burning mountain has been cloud-capped for the last few days."

POLICE COURT.— Monday.

(Before J. H. Home, Esq., and H. Gilfillan, Esq.,J.P.s.) DBTJNKENNES-S. John Sullivan and John Taylorson, for this offence, were each lined 5s and costs, or to be imprisoned 24 hours.

LiECEXY. Anne WTiite was charged with three separate charges of larceny to the value of 14s, 345, and £3 18s 9d. The first charge wa3 for stealing from Jane Foulner. Jane Foiilner, of Wellesley-street, deposed to having lost a table cloth, shirt, drawers, and three pairs socks from off her line. Did not know the prisoner, and identified the articles. They were valued for Ms.

Detective Ternahan deposed to having found the articles with the prisoner on the 7th, and that she stated she knew nothing about them.

This concluded the first case. The same prisoner was charged with stealing articles from Jessie Kemp, to the value of 345. Jessie Kemp deposed : I reside in Wellesley street. On Thursday I missod three baby's night dresses, two chemises, drawers, stockings, petticoat, shirt, two pocket handkerchiefs, and collars. They were on the line on Wednesday evening. I identify those pro duced ; they are valued at 345. Detective Ternahan deposed to having found the articles in prisoner's house. The same person was charged with stealing from John Willis 42 yards flannel, value £3, and five skirts, value 19s. John Willis deposed: On the sth inst. I missed 42 yards flannel and five skirts ; they were inside my door; I identify those pro duced as mine. Detective Ternahan deposed to having found these articles also in prisoner's house, who stated she knew nothing of them. Sentenced to " one month's imprisonment for the first case, two mouths for the second, and three months for the third, an aggregate of sis months. XICENSING ACT. J. J. Conway, Crown Hotel, West Queen street, was charged with having sold intoxi cating drink to Honora Fowler, on the sth inst., said Honora Fowler being at the time intoxicated. Constable James M. Clarke deposed : Saw the womau Fowler on the sth in Queen-street; , she was half, naked. I was proceeding to arrest her, whon she bolted. I found her afterwards in Conway's, drinking rum at the counter. I made certain it was rum. Mrs. Conway said the woman wa3 not drunk. I saw the license. The woman was drunk. It appeared the defendant himself was at the Thames at the time. Mr. Broham stated he did not wish to press the charge, only as a warning, and the Bench ordered a fine of 20s and costs. The Court then rose.
