Mr W.H. Connell appeared for the bank rupt. The trustee's report was read, and the bankrupt was decla.ed to have passed his final examination. The order of cischarge was granted. IX RE CHARLES MOLLER. Mr W. H. Connell, in the absence of Mr S. E. Hughes, applied to have this case ad journed until after the Civil Sessions. Tbe application was granted. IN RE JOHN MtTLLAIiY. A similar application was made in this case and was granted. IN RE THOMAS HAYWOOD. Mr W. H. Connell applied on behalf of Mr S. E. Hughes to have the case adjourned. Mr Brookfield opposed the application and the case was put at the bottom of the list for the attendance of Mr Hughes. IJST BE WILLIAM LOSGIB. j The bankrupt was a butcher, and came up to be relieved from his liabilities incurred in consequence of losses through speculation in shares. Mr Bennett appeared for the bankrupt; Mr W. L. Bees appeared to oppose for creditors. The trustees' report was read. It showed liabilities in July last to be £1,688 2s. Bd. ; assets, £802 10s., leaving a deficiency of £885 12s. Bd. The bankrupt's receipts had been £1,135 3s. 10d., and expenditure £1,134 14s. The final statement, at date of filing his petition, revealed the assets to be £21.4; liabilities, £1,182 7s. 4d., leaving a deficiency of £975 7s. 4d. The books had not been well kept. The bankrupt had speculated largely in shares. The bankrupt was examined by Mr Ben. nett, and. deposed to the correctness of his statements of accounts. His Honor found fault with the reckless manner in which the bankrupt had carried on his speculation. i Mr Bees also examined the [bankrupt, and elicited that on Ist July last he knew he was insolvent, but did not file his schedule until the 29th August. His accounts were kept by his son, and he believed were correct. The payment of moneys to Mr Buckland were not in respect to old debts, but in payment of stock supplied during the latter six months, to enable bankrupt to carry on his business.

To Mr Bennett : At the time of giving promissory notes the value of the scrip he held was large, and he believed he would be able to pay. The bankrupt's son was examined at length in reference to the manner in which the books had been kept. He could not account for the missing leaves between pages 101 and 106 in the cash-book.

The bankrupt was discharged

IMPORTANT NATIVE MEETING AT KAWHIA.

In conjunction with the other journals of the colony we have been furnished with the following telegram from the hon. Defence Minister, which gives an account of the passage of the Luna to Wellington and an interesting event that took place during the

voyage: — The Luna crossed the Manukau bar at half past twelve on Monday. A strong south easter was blowing; with heavy sea. During afte:.ioonand evening the sea grew heavier, and the weather became so disagre ible that it was determined to Hke shelter for the night under. Albatross Point. About ten the Luna whs snugly anchored there. Wednesday morning, the senhad aot abatri, and the vessel steamed into K-iwhia harbour. Captain Fairehild found the entrance to this bfautifpl haven just as be had known it When last there—May, 1867. On that occa sion he piloted H.M.S. Eclime, Capt. Fre mantle, which had on board Sir George Grey, then Governor. Still the same ease of en trance, and when inside the prune, splendid shelter and anchorage. The Luna first ran ; lto the southerly branch of the harbour, form-1 by river Waihe.rokeke, and anchor i close to the house formerly occupied by Mr. S. A. Joseph, now of the firm of Messrs. Montefiore, Joseph and Co., of Sydney. Some Maoris at once came off, accompanied by the chief Manehao, his two sons, and Haupokia. Dn-ing the -morning, other parties of Maoris r-.ived on board, and at length there came from the northerly (or Kawhia river) side of the harbour, the chief Tapihana, who gave the Europeans so much trouble formerly. A scene then occurred on deck. Tapihana addressed Mr. McLean in words of welcome; and he, as well as the other Maoris, said that if the Luna had not been a Government vesel with Mr. McLean on board, she would have been ordered to leave the harbour. The threat would not have been an idle one, for several hundred Maoris could have been col lected in a few hours. Tapihana, however, expressed great pleasure at seeing Mr. Mc- Lean, and made use of the remarkable ex pression, that when Mr. McLean first visited Kiwhia it was open to him <$ that now, at his second visit, it should be open to him and the Government vessel; and, that at his tbirdvisit, it should be open to all vessels. Mr. McLean replied in friendly terms j and Wi Tako, who displayed unwearied activity during the day, followed in a long speech, in which he pointed out to the large number of attentive Maoris present, the advantages of peaceful and friendly relations with the Europeans. Mr. McLean now became aware that on the Kawhia river side of the harbour there were come important personages, and he sent a boat across. On its return, he received the information that the elder of the King's sons, Tutawahia, was staying in the King's house at Kawhia, together with Hone Wetore (John Wesley), and other chiefs, and that if the Luna went across, Tutawahia would meet Mr. McLean. Accordingly the Luna steamed over, and Mr. McLean, with two officers in attendance, landed. He was received on the beach by Hone Wetere, and at the gate of the garden of his father's house, Tutawahia met him. A most remarkable interview followed. The accidental arrival of the Luna was hailed as a good omen for the future. Mr. McLean was invited to enter Kawhia whenever he pleased, and fina 1!^ he was askr ito stay until the King could be sent for to meet him. Mr. [cLean said he could not say, but invited jutawabia and attendants to visit the Luna, and be introduced to his Excellency the Go ■vernor. After some hesitation he consented. Twice Tutawtthia asked : " But will you carry me away if Igo ?" He was assured in reply that be might go on board or not, as he pleased, and that if he went he would be conveyed on shore again as soon as ho wished. Oh reaching the Luna he and hi* followers were introduced to the Governor, the Colonial Treasurer, wnd the other gentlemen, including Mr. Poirce, M.H.R.; and Mr. Christopherson, Consul-General of Sweden and Norway, who is on a visit to New Zealand for the special purpose of reporting to his Govern men •" as to the capabilities of the colony respecting im migration. Tutawahia is a manly, handsome young fellow, about nineteen years old. He displayed throughout murh feeling, and on his arrival on board he was deeply affected. The unexpected and suddoa breach of the isolation I in which he had dwelt seemed to impress him most powerfully, and for several minutes he had to be left in the midst of his followers, who seemed to vie with each other in mani festations of sympathy aid respect for him. After partaking 6i luncheon, pud being shows the engines of the Luo^ the visitors

took t.heir leave of the Governor, who pre sented Tutawaliia with a saddle and holsters which he had much admired. The visitors then returned to shore accompanied by Mr. McLcin. Before leaving Tautawahia and the chiefs, Mr. McLean arranged that he woii'd return to Kawhia for the purpose of renew ing friendly relations with Tuiawahia, and in all probability meeting the King. It it likely that from this visit of the Luna to Kawhia most important results influencing the future peaceful relations with the Kin<j natives will arise. Had the visit been planned, instead of accidental, the Maoris would doubt less have resented it. As it was, nothing could exceed the good feeling and friendship they manifested. Haupot;a accompanied Mr. McLean to Wellington. The Luna arrived alongside the wharf about half-past six o'clock.

THE LUNDON ENQUIRY.

At the Court of Enquiry now being held to take evidence regarding the cancelling of Capt. Lundon's commission, Major Gordon, when giving evidence, produced a copy of a letter dated 3rd May, 1871, whichghe ad dressed to Capt. Lundon, which was read with regard to the amalgamation of the two companies then formed at Onehunga. In compliance with the instructions contained in that letter a meeting of Volunteers was held at Onehunga on the Gth May, 1871, at which the following resolutions were unani mously Carried :—

" Ist. That the Volunteers present at this meeting form themselves into a Volunteer corps, to be called the ' Onehunga Rifle Volunteers, No. 1 Company.' "2nd. That Jno. Lundon, Esq., be Captain. " 3rd. That Jno. Brierly be Lieutenant.

"4th. That J. R. Hendry be Ensign."

These elections took place on Gth May, 1871. The resolutions were signed by the chairman, J. R. Hendry.

Major Gordon continued his evidence

On the 9th May, 1871, I reported these elections to the Inspector of Militia and Volunteers for the information of the Go vernment. Although Iliad frequently applied ,o Wellington for the confirmation of these elections I was unsuccessful in obtaining their approval until I finally made applica tion on the 17th November, 1871, on which date I addressed the letter to the Inspector of Militia and Volunteers. Copy of which I produce. The letter produced showed that Major Gordon could not proceed to the ap pointment of Captain Lundon and Lieut, Brierly until he had received an answer from the Government.

To that letter a reply was received on the Bth January, of which the following is the substance :—

" Militia and Vohxnteers, "Wellington, December 29, 1871. " Sir, —In reference to your letter 275, and previous correspondence relative to the Onehunga Volunteers, I have the honor to inform you that the Hon. Defence Minister has appointed Mr Lundon to be acting captain, and Mr Brierly lieutenant, from Gth May, 1871. I regret that an early reply had not been sent. I request you to reply at your earliest convenience whether these gentlemen are qualified to hold the rank appointed to them.

"W. Moule, "Col. Militia and Volunteers." The Bth January, 1872, is the date on which I was first informed that Mr Lundon was an acting captain in the Volunteer force, with the approval of the Government. I had occasion on the sth June, 1872, to address a letter to Captain Lundon, a copy of which I hand to the Court.

The substance of the letter was as follows : —The Hon. Defence Minister having sent a letter (copy of which is forwarded) enclosing the account of A. Clark and Son, with in structions to me to take the necessary steps thereoii, I have the honor to forward the en closed, received from Wellington, which is to be placed to the debit of your capitation allowance. I have to state that your capita tion allowance of March last has not reached me. On the 14th June, 1872, I received a reply under date 12th June, to the following effect: "I have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 25th inst. ; also a copy of letter from A Clark and Sons, also to state that the Mr Smith, of Smith and Higgins, in formed A. Clark & Sons that the capitation sheet was sent in on the 20th May and 6th June. I was under the impression that Mai or Gordon should not interfere with private affairs, the officers of the company having entered into a bond to pay the amount I deny your right to interfere with a private affair the Defence-office having no claim affainst the company. I beg to call attention to a matter more in your province than the in terest of 41. Clark and Son. I refer to the com missions of myself and Lieut. Bnerly, which I have not received yet. I find that Captain Dareaville received his commission for supplying a guard of honour at Government House I also did the same at the Manukau with a band. I demand my commission, also that of Lieut. Bnerly.. If Captain Dar gaville received his commission for supply ins the guard of honour, I maintain that I have a perfect right to mine. As Colonel Harington stated at the annual inspection that the company was_ steady onP parade, the hon Defence Minister complimented me upon the perfection in drill attaind by a new company without aid from head-quarters. The Government ought to encourage us. Should myself and Lieutenant Brierlv set our commissions, I have to re gS they be dated April 6, 1871, so as to avoid appealing to my friends in the General ASi e£med' it expedient to acknowledge receipt of that letter in a letter dated iiSUant 1872. On the 19th instant, 1872 a codv of which I handed to the Court. The lette/was to. the following effect :-I beg to forward for your consideration, of which Onehunga volunteers. I have to report that I have not received the correct capitation or returns. Captain Lundon has forwarded on Wo occasions the returns for £2 10b, m lieu of £2 which is the correct amount. They were 'forwarded back for correction. I acted Sy on my official capacity. I do noti can, aider Captain Lundon or Lieut. Bnely nt to hold quSed rank. The statement with regard to Captain Dargaville is untrue. I Sose to have a Board of officers to examine rS 1 did not wish for a re-election because I did not consider thaf the uniform and appointments of the corps would be paid until the capitation-sheet was properly maOn The 20th June I addressed Captain Lundon :-" Sir.-Having this day received x^ructions from Wellington to proceed with vourexamination, I have the honor to inform Sn and where yon will be examined Lieut Brierly will also be examined by the 3To Kttter I received no reply. On the 21st August, 1872, I again addressed Capt.

I sent a letter on 21st August stating that I should have to have recourse to such measures as would be detrimental to Capt. Lundon and the Volunteer interests. On 10th Sep tember I had still received no reply from Capt. Lundon. On that day I sent another letter adverting to my letter of the 2nd inst., and stating that, as he did not reply, I regretted that there remained no alternative but to suspend him from all duties, of which I requested Lieut. Brierly to relieve him After suspending Capt. Lundon I reported the case to the Government, and handed copy of letter. The letter went on to state that of the 84 officers of this district Capt. Lundon is the only one that should be suspended as he set a bad example to other officers. As an instance of his insurbordination I beg you to refer to my letter of 19th June last. I feel assured that the Government will sup press this insurbordination as the first and only instance.

To this letter I received the following reply :— "Telegram. " The hon. Defence Minister has directed that CaptainJLundon's'acting commission shall be cancelled. September 23, 1872." I also received a letter through the post in reply to my letter that Captain Lundon's commission had been cancelled by the hon. Mr Stafford. This terminates the corres ipondence.
