previous letters about this particular matter. They do not appear to have been printed, but Hoananui himself in a manifesto subsequently printed gives the reason of this outbreak. " Now listen ! Our quarrel originated in our lands being seized by others and sold to the European as a means of obtaining money for themselves, whilst the real owners of the Boil were left without anything." Te Hapuku's was the losing side ; and even the money received by him from the Govern ment for the land appears to have lost rather than gained friends for him. "The natives," •writes Mr Cooper, September 26, "we never at any time very enthusiastic in their support of Hapuku ; and the quarrels and heart burnings which now attend a division of money were not wanting at the last payment to increase their disaffection." But the affair •was not yet over. On the 19th October Mr Cooper writes : " Another engagment took place on the 14th inst. I enclose a list of casualities. The engagement was not followed up after sundown, and has not made any material alteration in the relative state of the two parties." What did Mr Cooper mean by this ? Fe could not have referred to the absence of luck in the proportion of deaths of land sellers and land leaguers. On December 15, Mr Cooper has to report another collision resulting in a total loss of five killed add sixteen wounded "as per enclosed list." " His Excellency, says Mr Cooper," will be sorry to hear of the loss of Puhara, a chief deservedly liked and respected by all classes, a staunch supporter of the Government, a firm friend to the settlers, and the principal supporter of Te Hapuku in his land selling policy." It is one of the worst features of the old system that no one was or could be looked upon as a Btaunch supporter of the Government unless he sold land to them. After his repeated victories, Moananui speaks plainly, "He Moananui was very peremptoay ; talked about the Maori King, and threatened that if the payment for his land was withheld on account of Hapuku's opposition to their sale, he would import an army from Waikato, and put an end to the opposition by extermi nating the opponent." A very logical con clusion ! but not very pleasant for Mr Cooper. In fact his position was becoming unpleasantly warm. Both he and the natives were getting heartily sick of the ■whole business, and he expresses no dis approval when he reports (September 30, 1858). "An agreement unanimously made that in future everyone should do as he pleases with his own land, and that the system of selling through the chiefs should be abandoned." In a letter of the 9th May, 1859, Mr Cooper reports the proceedings of a great meeting. Amongst other resolutions " It was generally (though not unanimously) agreed, that no more land should be sold to the Government." A few day after wards Mr McLean, Chief Commissioner, in reporting to the Colonial Treasurer his money requirements, says : —" Mr Cooper is not sanguine as to any purchase being made at present." Matters were, however, not at their worst. On March following (1860) Mr Cooper reports that "the language held by many of the natives with reference to the inland parts of the Ahuriri block is very unsatisfactory. They state that at the time the block was purchased advantage was taken of their ignorance to obtain the land for a fraction of its value, that a bargain made in such a way ought not to be held binding, and they ex press their determination to resume possses »ion of the inland parts of the block to the extent of nearly 100,000 acres, to exact rents from the settlers, &c." We are reminded of the rock on which Mr Searancke's happi ness was wrecked: "the increaseof knowledge amongst the natives." Mr Cooper's1 method of dealing with, the distressing symptoms differed from Mr Searancke's. Which one wa3 pathetic, afid wrote lamentations, the other " treated all their threats with derision and contempt;" and he adds that he thought that the firmness of his language and de meanour bad affected the natives. We have often thought that the dead lion in which a colony of bees had established their abode must have signified some such agreeable mental salad as the union of Mr Cooper's derision and contempt with his firm language and demeanour. But unfor tunately Mr Cooper's behaviour does not appear to have produced the great effect which he expected from it, for on the 30th of the same month the Superintendent becoming alarmed, writes to the Colonial Secretary, "Time will not allow me at present to cite numerous cases that could be adduced of the growing disposition of the natives to refuse to obey the laws, jas well as to repudiate many of the sales of land made by them and ratified formerly jn,the fullest possible way ; but they are so well known, &c. The District Commissioner, on the 12th of the same month, says, "The action of the runangas will, I am sorry to nay, effectually put a stop to sales of land to the Government in those parts of the district to which their influence extends. On. this point they will listen to no argu ment, hear no reason." The blue book teems with similar despairing announcements, but we must hasten on, so will only quote one more, a year's later date than the abore extract. On the 20th June, 1861, Mr Cooper writes to the Chief Commissioner in reply to a letter asking for a special report on the land question, "It may be tiaid in a few words that at present there is no native land question in this province, that is to say, that within the last two years the natives have put a stop to land selling to the Government." Here will be a good place to end for the present. The system had dried up, not from, any fault of the officers, for better men could not be found, but because it was false in principle, and antagonistic to all the instincts of human nature.

And this is the stagnation, and these are the disasters which the Herald's correspond ent remembers with regret.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

Sittings tn Banco,

(Before His Honor Sir George A. Arney,

Knight Chief Justice.) He Geo. Thorne, Jun.

This being the day appointed for the adjourned sitting in this case his Honor took hiß seat at eleven o'clock.

Mr MacCormick, the solicitor for the Bank of New South Wales, the opposing creditors, and Mr Whitaker, the bankrupt's solicitor, were in attendance ; but there was no appear ance of the bankrnpt. As the sitting was for the purpose of con tinning bankrupt's examination the business of the Court could not go on in his absence. Mr McCormick rose, and addressing the Court said he had again to complain of the conduct of the bankrupt. By his non-appear ance after receiving due notice of the Sitting h« had rendered himself liable to a prosecu tion for a misdemeanour under the 302 nd clause of the Act.

Mr Whitaker explained that Mr Thome's abseence was not in contempt of the author ity of the .Court. He had gone to Sydpey to try and effect an arrangement witty .the Bank there', and had not returned owing to the non-completion of the objects of his S" urney. The bankruput had consulted m before he went. He had a letter-|- Mr. McOormiok objected that Mr. Whita- Jeer's explanation rested solely upon the jtateraent el tha bankrupt, He (the sj>«te)

might if he chose put forward a letter which he had received to prove the opposite. His Honor said lie certainly thought that Mr. "Whitaker's explanation should be recerved.

Mr. McCormick persisted in his objection. He considered the present non appearance was on a par with the conduct of the bankrupt all- through. He had been instructed that there was every reason to believe that the bankpnpt did not intend to'submit to the jurisdiction of the Court.

Mr Whitaker asked what Mr MadCormick was aiming at. Did he wish the Court to proceed against the bankrupt as guilty of a misdemeanour ?

Mr MacCormick said he purposed to pro duce evidence that the bankrupt had not complied with the provisions of the Act. His Honor said he was prepared to hear it. and he presumed it v» as competent for Mr Whitakel1 to take off his wig and goivn and go into the witness box on the other side. That Mr MacCormick said he should object to. His Honor : Eeserve your objection until he is called. . Mr MacCormick then proceeded to trace the steps of the bankruptcy, and alluded, in passing, to the trouble the bankrupt had given in not filing a proper statement of accounts. His Honor stated that the Court had been put to great inconvenience in consequence. Mr MacCormick then put in evidence the notice of the adjournment of the case from the 2nd July to the i3th August in the hear ing and presence of the bankrupt. His Honor said he was in a singular posi tion. He had ho tipstaff, so that if he wanted to order the arrest of a bankrupt he could not well do it unless he employed Mr Molloy upon the business. Mr MacCormick having proved that a notice from the trustee had been served upon the bankrupt informing him of the necessity of his coming up to-day, went on to observe that when the bankrupt went away he told the trustee he waiited to visit his mother. He (the learned counsel) was instructed that there was not the slightest ground for supposing that the Bank was en tertaining any arrangement such as the bank rupt alluded to. In support of this he read a letter to the trustee from Mr Thome re ceived by the Victoria, which staled that he was tiying to make arrangements with the Bank, but that the Bank wanted him to make some definite proposal which he was unable to do until he received from the trustee certain particulars of his assets and liabilities, which he had not got with him. He wwished the Court to proceed with the examination of witnesses, or perhaps the trustee could procure the postponement of the case until after the arrival of the Hero.

Mr McCormick thought that bankrupt had no right to trust to such contingencies. It ■Was conduct which—

His Honor: Mr MacCormick, do you think that I am insensible of my dutj; as Judge of the Supreme Court? lam perfectly well aware thatithe bankrupt's conduct has not been what it should have been. His failure to appear here to-day is a piece of consummate impudence, as also was his going away without first asking the leave of the Court. lam not insensible that his whole conduct to his creditors has been most inexcusable. If he were within bounds I should be disposed to deal summarily with him, and send a policeman for him, but I cannot send across the, ocean. I am also of opinion that the Court is bound to accept the explanation of a gentleman so well known as Mr Whitaker. As he says that the bankrupt asked his opinion before going away it appears that the bankrupt did the next thing to what he ought to have done, viz.; ask the permission of the Court. Mr McCormick submitted that there was no foundation for the application for an ad journment. Mr Whitaker remarked that his learned friend was in too great a hurry. No application had been made. All the arguments used by his friend would have been good arguments against the bank rupt receiving his discharge. After some further discussion bis Honor said it was plain that one of two conclusions must be come te. Either the bankruptcy must be quashed, or the examination of the bankrnpt much be postponed. "In his deci sion be would be guided by the opinion of those interested ia the case and by the con venience of the Court. Did Mr Whitaker wish for an adjournment? Mr Whitakor said his learned friend had been talking so fast that he had no time to put in a word. He did desire an adjourn ment.

His Honor at last named the 17th of Sep tember as the day for continuing the bank rupt's examination, with power to the counsel on both sides to agree to a later date if neces sary. Mr MacCormick then asked that the bank rupt be compelled .to ; file • a statement in accordance with the rules of the Court.

His Honor replied by asking whether the trustee in his procedure had followed exactly the forms of the Court ? From what had transpired he thought he had not

Mr MacCormick admitted that he had not done so. He how wished that the exami nation of the other witnesses might proceed. " George Henry Fletcher being sworn, deposed : Hewas managing clerk for Messrs. Ryan, Bell and Co. He knew Mr. Geo. Thome, jun., and had been in his employ for some years up to the 16th January last; this was after the adjudication in bankruptcy. His duties M rere in the counting-house. Mr. Thome was trading as Jno. Robertson and Co. Witness was the book-keeper of the firm ; he kept the cash-book. All the entries were made by witness. There were entries in the book (produced) purporting to be entered on the 24th * December. They were in his handwriting, and were made on or after that date. The entries after that date were entered from day to day as the transac tions occurred. He was quite clear on the point. For instance he entered on the 29th cash transactions that occurred on the 29th, and so on. He did not put the dates owing to receiving instructions from Mr. Thorne not to put any more dates after the 24th December. Had not touched the books sinco the entries were made. Could ascei'tain by referring to the books on what day each individual transaction took place. Mr McCormick said he wished more parti cularly to know the dates of four of the entries. Witness : He could tell the dates by the receipts. An entry under the 24th December appeared Kinross and - Co., £500. That money was paid sometime early in January. He could not say when exactly. The last entry made by witness was about the 14th of January. He was in Auckland on the 19th January. He left the office two days after Mr Macfarlane took possession of the pre mises. That Ttould make it about the 15th. After that he made-no entries.: The entry alluded to -wa3 a record of a payment made, probably,.on the day of entry. He could not say whether the money wass paid in December or January. Witness himself took the money from the cash-box and hianded it to Mr Thorne.

Mr MacCormick reminded the witness that Mr Thorne had sworn that he gave,the money to him (witness), and he had sent ifc to Messrs. Kinross and Co, The witness &sk\ ha couW not awwwr poaitively who

[ sent the money. There was no record of , lit on the letter-book. The letter was not I copied. He was acting under the instruc- ', i tions of Mr Thorne. The letter was posted ,; n the ordinary way. He did not see how the date in which the letter was sent away could be fixed. He did not think that was John Koberton and Co. 's ordinary way of conducting business. The entry alluded to was the only entry of a payment made to Kinross and Co. He could riot say whether Mr Thorne received any receipt or acknow ledgment for that £500. A red ink marl: had been placed against the entry importing; J that it had been made on the Sth. He could I not say whethei it Was possible that it was made after that date

Witness continued : He believed that he entered all the cash payments that were made. The last balance of the 22nd. Decem ber he had then in hand. The balance.in the Bank of Australasia, £24 odd, was Mr Thome's own private accoixnt. He re membered getting a draft for £500 for George Thorne from Sydney, for which cash was drawn. He [could not call to mind what the £40 8s 9d paid to Mr Alexander the. sharebroker was drawn for. It might ha\e been for the. purchase of shares standing in the name of Mr Oilehrist, of Bydney; he could hot, say. He knew .of some shares in the Tfciokey Gold-mining Company. He believed there were sixty. He knew the £40JSs 9d was paid to Mr Alexander as the balance of the purchase of scrip. Mr Joseph Potter made entries in trie journal in the ordinary way, which fixes the dates of the income and delivery of goods. Ho did not know of 20tous of flour being delivered by Mr Waterhoiise; he Cionid not tell } that was the storcrnan's business.

DISTURBANCE IN QUEEN-STREET

A drdnkfn brawl took place in Queen street jutt before we went to press. Two srilora who had been drinking freely were making a great disturbance kt the corner near the Whaif, when Constable Graham tried to take them into custody. Both assaulted tlie officer and ill-treated him in a most savage manner before assistance arrived. Sergeant Saunderson nnd two other con stables came to the rescue, and after a severo struggle, in which the officers got s^me heavy mauling succeeded in handcuffingthebrawlers aud taking them to tlie lock-up. A great crowd assembled, and tho affair, of which we have only time to give this meagre outline, can fed great excitement. Tho offenders exhibited tremendous strength and gave the constables all their woik to secure their capture.

ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY. Tire performance of "Fra Diavolo" last night by the Opera Company did not draw a very large house. In a professional point of view, however,' it was a most successful representation. Miss Alice May, as Zerlina, infused life into the part, and sustained the interest from the rise of the curtain on the first act to its fall on the closing scene. The; other members of the company fulfilled the parts entrusted to them with their usual ability. To-night "La Sonnambula" will be produced, and to-morrow, which is the last of the season in Auckland, the favourite opera of "Martha.""
