SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

Sittings in Banco.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Johnston.)

The usual weekly sitting of this Court was held this morning and the following bank- Tuptcy cases disposed' of :— Lvj. U

In re John mullally.

The bankrupt came up to pass his last ex amination. .

Mr Keetley appealed for the bankrupt. Mr S. E, Hughes, who had formely op posed for a creditor, now withdrew his opposition as ah arrangement had been arrived at between the parties. The Provisional Trustees' report stated that the bankrupt was a carter and contractor. He had kept no books, and his accounts had been made, .up , from memory. Many of them it was irhpossible to check, 'while a great doubt existed as to their correctness. Many important transactions traced to the "bankrupt had been omitted in the accounts altogether. His charges for wages were furnished at purely guess work, and the highest xates were set down. His trades men's bills remained unpaid. The bank rupt stated in his accounts that he had received sums amounting ;to £55 4s 6d ; whereas now he repudiated having received thfcin. He admitted having received a sum of £\"i from Hunter and Nolan, while it ifj/WB proved; he had received £36. His receipts to August last were £573 11s lid, and his expenditure £643 11s Bd, show ing an excess in his expenditure over receipts of. £69 19s 9d. His liabilities were £126 4s $d, with no available assets. This was not the first time the bankrupt had sought the protection of the Court.

Mr Keetley applied for the bankrupt to be allowed to pass his last examination.

His Honor objected to such a course until the bankrupt .could, satisfy the, Court with regard to the discrepancies disclosed in the trustees' report.

His Honor proceeded to examine the bank rupt with '-reference'I'to'hia transactions. He stated that he had fulfilled • contracts at the North Shore, Graf ton-road, andPanmure. He had, employed ten; men, at .365: .per ; week for twenty-six weeks, making a total of £468. [In the accounts only £280 were charged.] This was accounted for by a sum of £126 baing^ charged against carrying out contract. The bankrupt enumerated several amounts he owed to creditors. In reply to His Honor he stated that these creditors had been in duced to forego opposition by being partly paid by friends. He had given them no bond to settle , with them after. -He asserted that ne had neither money nor a change of rai;ment. He also denied that he had any Contract at the MffiaxL. . He had given his, horses to a1 person previous to his bank-' ruptey in consideration of money owing t him, and more than the value of the debt. He had no arrangement with this person for their return. He attributed his bankruptcy to having contracts too low. The Court disapproved of persons like the "banknjpjjtpking contracts improvidentjy, and auch conduct ought to.be discouraged. The bankrupt would however be allowed to pass his .examination, but his order; of dis charge .'wppjd be suspended, fpi; one;inonth.

POLICE COURT.-This Day.

; (Before Thomas Beckham Escj. j R. M.) BREACH OF EDUOAf toft ACT ■His Worship proceeded to give judgment this morning ir> & c case of Lusk J v § reeQ _ way, for non-payment of the Education rate, tne particulars of which haye already ap peared. A large number of persons who were interested in the case made their ap pearance in Court, anxiously awaiting the verdict, amongst whom we noticed some of the leading men of the people, politicians, councillors, and social reformers.

His Worship said he had given this case his^post careful attention, and he could come to no other conclusion, after a close reading of the 37th and 40th clauses of the Education Act, that all rates in arrear may be duly sued for under the Superintendent and are reco verable in a summary manner. The ques tion was whether or not Mr Lusk was duly authorised to collect, and of that fact there could be no doubt. He felt bound, there fore, to make an order for the defendant to pay the sum of £1 an d costs.; but if Mr Greenway liked to take the case to a higher Court, nothing would be done to annoy him m ,the meaJi*i- me# \

■ DRUNKENNESS. ueorge Stanley pleaded guilty to this offence, and was lined 10s and costs. Caroline Williams, a young woman of twenty, who held down her head apparently abashed at her position, was fined 10s and costs for the same offence. • OBSCENE LANGUAGE. Emma Stanson, a young person, but a very old offender, was charged under the Vagrancy Act of 1869 with using unwomanly language in Upper Queen-street last night. His Worship asked the prisoner how she got her living, when she replied that she got her living by her needle; her husband was away at work. She was the mother of four children.

Sergeant-Major Pardy regretted that he could not give the prisoner a fair character. Prisoner still urged that she got an honest living by her needle, and her husband sent her money from Wellington. Sergeant-Major Pardy said the accused had not been before the Court since October last. He should like to see the woman doing well. ' ■

His Worship said that he would, discharge her if she would promise to leave the neigh bourhood by Satm-day. The prisoner promised that she would do so, and was accordingly discharged. APPLICATION. ' >'•'' Mr Marks, pawnbroker, made an applica tion to the Court that three pounds might be restored to him, being the amount which he advanced on a watch to a young man who had stolen it from Mr Clarke, and is now in " durance vile " for the offence. His Wor ship regretted the inability of the Court to assist the applicant in the case. It was finally agreed between the parties, as they had both been losers, to divide the loss, which was done.

This was all the business

A POOR WIDOW.

\ (To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir, —There seems to be a good deal of ill feeling manifested towards a most useful and efficient public officer, viz., the inspector of nuisances. Mr; Goldie has a difficult and troublesome duty to perform, a. duty which no man can do without treading on the corns of a-good many people ; but considering that the safety and health of the town depends very greatly upon his impartiality and zeal, I think it is incumbent upon every citizen to uphold and encourage him in his office. I am led to these remarks by the report in the Herald of this morning in the case against Mrs Ryan. Of course it is all very well for Mr Beveridge' to create a little sympathy for the " poor widow," be cause he was paid for doing it, and even if he .had not been so his proverbial gallantry would doubtless have secured his advocacy ; but the fact is this, there are persona in the neighbourhood of the city who turn their cattle out to feed upon the roads, leaving a ,'smfa.ll boy in charge, and when either, Mr Goldie, or a policeman, makes his appearance, a show is made of driving them either to or from the domain. I noticed this little game on^ day'in upper Symonda street near to Kyber: Pass,, whei-e the driver of the cows took out his pipe, and sat down to have a comfortable smoke while the cows fed. The con'secjuence ;was' that several ladies and children nad to go off the footpath into the| road to make way for them, and a biiggy in passing was obliged,to. pull up to preyerjt getting foful of them. Not many weelks ago, the night being dark, I nearly fell! over a cow in Vincent-street, where I found about a dozen of them turned out. If I mistake not the defendant in the case yes terday-is anold offender with/her cows, and I maintain ttia£ the Inspector was perfectly justified in noting the time the cows were allowed to wander. If Mr. Buckland and others are prevented driving stock in the dayV 'tim^ on the score, of public safety, I don't see why an exception should be made even in the 'case of a "poor widow." For my part; I wouid as spon have my buggy capsized by one of Mr. Buckland's bulls as by one of the widow's cows.—l am, &c, Fair Play.

INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES.

/ ; (To the/Editor of .the Evening Star. ) g IR I_l think the attack on this officer in this morning's paper very unfair and untrue He has been blamed by the Press and other** repeated occasions for not doing his rinty, and the moment he does so he is subject Go such, abuse as would not be tolerated in any Court unless it wasimeant He should be the scapegoat for others not so easily to be maligned. Jfcfe time ahttle daylight was let in to these, matters.—Yours, &c, Ad Interim. , ~ .
