Chalmers, as mate in February last. I Did not sign the articles. The log-book pro- , dnced was in witness's hand-writing from the | 18th February. The vessel was two days in i Wellington, and 30me water-casks and small stores were taken on board. On reaching Wellington there were about sixty gallons of water on board. There two large casks were obtained. From the 9th of February to the , 3rd of March entries of the log-bookweremade with the heading, " From Dunedin bound for Auckland." He could not say who told him that the vessel was bound for Auckland. After leaving Wellington the course of the vessel was shaped for Mount Egmont, because the wind was blowing fresh from the N.E. ' To come round the East Coast with that wind it mi<mt have taken a week, a month, or two ! months. After the 3rd March the port of [ destination was not put in the log-book j because the Captain told witness that the vessel and cargo were his own, with the ex ception of a little furniture for Auckland, and he intended to take her to some of the islands of the Fijis, as he could sell the cargo better there. Witness replied that it was rather serious to go away with other peoples goods. He said he could do as he lik ed with his own vessel and cargo. He steered N. by E. byl-he Captain's direction. The wind on the 6th and 7th March would have been a good wind for shaping for Auckland. After the 9th March thee weather was fine throughout the voyage. The schooner arrived at Tahiti on the 15th of April. On the 18th 36 bags of oats were unloaded, and other cargo. On the 19th discharged 14 bags of oats. The vessel left Tahiti on May 4th, and arrived at Apia, Samoa, on the 19th. The oats were taken up to a store. No more oats were landed anywhere. At Apia the Consul came on board, and seized the schooner in the Queen's name. The cover was taken off the original log-book and put on to this book by orders of Captain Beaton, who instructed witness to copy from the original log into the book produced. Ho said he would deceive the Consul with it. Witness copied out ll days because he was afraid of his life, but knowing he was doing wrong he took to the bush, where he remained all nightjand next day he went to the British Consul. Mr G. P. Pierce identified the signature to the bill of lading as the prisoner's. August Peterson, a seamrn on board the Florence, gave evidence against the captain. (Loft sitting.)

COMwIKRJIAL A CENTS ; Tho Now Zealand Loan and Morcan.il. Agency Company (Limited). SOLICITORS: Mossrs Whitaker and Russell. SECRETARY (PRO TBM.) : A. Wardrop, Esq., Shortland street. The rapidly-increasing importance of the mercantile interests in the group of islands somprised in the Kingdom of Fiji, and the absence of any reliable medium of exchange in that territo .', have suggested the formation of this Company, which, it is intended, shall supply ordinary Banking facilities and under take commercial agency business, by indenting goods, advancing on the produce of settlers, and undertaking consignments. Notwithstanding the difficulties which the early settlers in these Islands have encountered, the pro gress made in the development of Commerco h: <■ been very satisfactory,— the returns of export - and imports exhibiting rapid expansion. Tho capabilities of the Islands for sugar and cotton cultivation are of the very highest description, and, with the introduction of capital and the means afforded to planters to turn their produce to account, there can be no doubt that the above interests will bo very speedily and largely increp-ed. Already tracts of country have been secured by planters from other sugar-producing countries, the climate and soil of Fiji offering superior advantages. The European population is already considerable, and rapidly increasing; and the general desire to support law and order, and the partial recognition of the Government by Creat Britain, afford a reasonable ground for believing that transactions in Fiji may be undertaken with safety, and with tho same recourse ?s iv more settled communities. Important concessions, including an exclusive --ght to issue bank notes and to transact all Government business, are under offer to tho Company p.nd, from data furnished to the promoters, it is believed that a very satisfactory return on the capital to be invested wP be ensured. . The scope of tho Company's operations will not be confined to Kiji, but will embrace the numerous groups of Islands in the Pacific, a-, encouragement may from time to time offer. It is believed that a paid-up Capital of .C 50.000 will, for a time, amply provide for the current requirements of the Company, the un-paid Capital remaining as a basis for credit with its Agents. A further issue of shares will bo made as required, on terms to be settled by tho Board of Directors. Of tho „2 10s to be called up on the First Issuo of shares, a deposit of 10s per share will be required on application and a like amount on allotment. Sub sequent calls will be made as required, not exceeding £1 per share, with a notice of not less than one month. No promoters' or paid-up shares will be issued, and the preliminary expenses aro guaranteed not to exceed £1,000. Applications for shares—accompanied by a deposit of 10s per share—will be received by the Secretary on and aftor Ist August and up to Ist Septcmper next, a preference being given to priority, of application. In event of no allotment being made tho deposit will be returned in full. Auckland, 4th July, 1878. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
