SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

IN BANKRUPTCY

(Before His Honor Chief Justice Sir G. A, * Arney.)

IN RE ALEXANDER MACDONALD. The bankrupt was a storekeeper at Kumeu, and passed his last examination at a previous aittin" of the Court. . . Mr°Armstrong appeared for petitioner, and applied for his discharge. Mr Whitaker appeared to oppose bis dis charge, on the ground that petitioner had given a bill of sale over his property to his brother-in-law at a time Avhen he was ad mittedly insolvent; that he incurred debts when he knew his affairs were in a state that left no reasonable prospect of paying ; also, that his household expenses had been ex cessive, aud the moneys received and expended by him had not been satisfactorily accounted ' His Honor thought the bankrupt had carried on his business in a very careless way to say the least of it. He said one thin" that presented itself to his mmd in the case was the great facility fcr getting crodit. It was a matter of_ surprise that persons were so willing to give their money to others to speculate with, absolutely without any security for its care ful management. His Honor reviewed tha circumstances in the case. There were no assets, the proper ty} of the petitioner passing to a person from whom the bankrupt had bor rowed money at a time when he was insol vent. His certificate must be suspended for a period of nine calendar months. This was all the business.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.) DRUNKENNESS. .

Walter Lewis was charged with beiug drunk last night in Symonds-street, and fined 10s and costs. Kate McManus, a well known character, but who appeals to be fast fading away, was also charged with this offence, and fined 10s, or 48 hours in the shades of Mount Eden. A MISTAKE. Robert Edwards was charged with stealing ten yards of wincey, one dozen of fancy braid, two yards of stout calico, and one yard.of glazed lining, value 19s Bsd, the. property of Mr Thomas Home. Mr Broham asked that the accused might bo discharged, as the things had been found, and it had been clearly established that Ed wards was wrongly given into custody. His Worship dismissed the charge. ALLEGED ASSAULT. ■ Alexander Miller appeared on remand in answer to a charge preferred by Captain William Scott, master of the Hylton Castle, for assaulting him on the high seas. _ Mr Weston appeared for the complainant, and Mr Beveridge for the defence Mr Weston said he was surprised that atter compensation had been allowed to the men in consequence of indifferent food that his learned friend should press that the case be proceeded with. ' . ~ , Mr Beveridge expressed a determination to proceed with the case from certain facts which had come within his own knowledge. His Worship considered that as a great 'deal of warmth had been exhibited on both sides the cases should be adjourned for their mutual advantage. Mr Weston proceeded at great lengcn to stigmatise Miller as a sea lawyer, a muti neer, and that the Captain was perfectly justified in putting him in irons, which he did twice during the voyage. A master has a perfect right to use his authority m plac ing turbulent seamen under restraint. Ihe accused was a dangerous character, a most troublesome man, and the captain was right in treatmg him more like a wild animal than a human being. The man wanted his dia ° Mr Beveridge denied that he had solicited his discharge. '. . His Worship thought the Captain had better give him his liberty, and if the crew of the Hylton Castle was as disagreeable as they were represented to be he thought it would be best to get lid of them. William Scott, on being examined, deposed that he was the master of the Hylton Castle, now ljing in the port of Auckland. The register of the vessel is 548 tons, which ap pears in the articles. On the 10th March the ship was in the English Channel and required to be well watched. The tide was then run ning five knots. He ancl his officers were then obliged to work, or the ship must have been lost in consequence of his refusing to liberate Miller who was in irons. He had put him in irons through his mutinous con- i duct MiHer complained of the beef and flour, and hove the kid at his feet, and"if he had not moved quickly it would have struck him and done him serious injury. The beef and kid weighed aboutj twenty-five pounds, j Miller is a white-washed American. The Court: What is that ? Witness : A man that goes about with second-class ships; a kind of loafer. Witness stated that Miller began bis mutinous conduct within twenty-four hours after sailing. He was compelled to put him in irons. He liberated the prisoner that the ship might be saved, as the crew refused to do duty until Miller, was liberated. On one occasion piisoner threatened to take his Cross-examined by Mr Beveridge: He made the entry respecting prisoner's conduct at three o'clock in the afternoon on .the 10th of March. He was not in the habit of swearing. When Miller complained of the beef he replied that it was the same as he himself was eating. The beef was from a merchant in Liverpool, and it was fit for human food. He was aware that two casks of the beef were slightly tainted. Mr Beveridge : But what you ate, Captain, was nicely flavoured with spices and onions. To Mr Beveridge : On complaining of the flour he gave orders that other flour should ha given out. , , Mr Weston objected, as the character of the flour was not the question—the question was one of assault. His Worship thought that gentlemen should confine themselves to the matter at issue. To Mr Beveridge : He tasted the duff. His Worship remarked that the Court could not shut its eyes to the fact that what ever causes of complaint there might have been, the accused had committed a grevious assault by throwing the kit of beef at the captain on the quarter-deck. The complaint should have been made in a proper manner.

The accused : That's what I did.

His Worship : Tou might fancy yourself a perfect lamb on board ship, but the master seems to hold a very different opinion. Would it not be better for parties to withdrew these charges. The cases were finally withdrawn, on con dition that the accused receive his discharge, minus £1 10s of the £9, due to him in wages. EDUCATION RATE. Christopher Greenway, William Hogg, Charles Brookes, William Moyle, Henry W. Stebbing, Richard S. Sandell, Thomas John son, Thomas Baker, and William Robinson were summoned for neglecting to pay the education rate. Mr Hesketh appeared for Mr Lusk, and Btated that Mr Grcenway's case had been withdrawn, as he had paid the rate amd costs. Mr Brookes had done the same. Messrs Hogg, Stobbing, Sandell and Johnson said

they would follow suit. Mr Baker contended that he was rated for his shop m Victoria-street, which had been unoccupied for more than a year. Mr Moyle complained that he was a poor man, with a sick wife and large family. He had ofirfred the amount to Mr Hesketh, but it had been refused. , , , , Mr Hesketh replied that he had not offered costs. , , , , Mr Moyle thought it was extremely hard upon a poor man like him. They might have pitched upon some merchant, or person of higher standing. ,'■.'_ • -uj. i His Worship said people had no right to complain about the necessity of paying a rate in accordance witli a law which they through their representatives had made and as soon as the rod was applied to their backs begin to cry out. They must pay it. Mr Hesketh said that every one liable for the rate would be pitched into shortly for the rate must be paid before the expiration of the present month. Mr Robinson, a settler, said he was willing to pay the rate and costs, but he very much objected to paying a fee of half-a-gmnea extra to Mr Seaman, tbe collector, for proving his indebtedness under the Act. His Worship said there was an absolute determination to recover the rate, and he (Mr Ptobinson)mustpay the fee to Mrfeeaman for his attendance to-day.

Kennedy's style. Thomas Kennedy was charged with using insulting ancl abusive language towards Frank Pascoe, on the 25th of June. The prosecutor, a dark-skinned but happy looking man, stated that he had forgiven the defendant, and did not wish to proceed against him. This concluded tho business.
