When questioned by the nsoner he swore most distinctly that he £a oppn him ashore with .the coat produced. Prisoner said to him « Don't I look stout." Mr Bridgman, of the firm of Messrs Rush brook and Bridgman, proved receiving bills f lading and invoices for articles of clothing shirked by the Dorette. Some of the goods did not come to hand. He identified some of the missing goods in Court. Among these ■•was the 'missing coat (produced), and a black detective Jefferies said that he and Detec tive Ternahan had been employed on the case They received some of the goods pro duced from a man named Antonio Nichol son some from one of the immigrants, some from a man named Birch, and some were found stowed away below the forcastle of the 8 By the prisoner : He could not say that be bad found any of the articles in his (pri goner's) possession, nor could he say that he found anything to "indicky" that the pri soner had stolen the things. William Birch deposed to having come out in the Dorette as an immigrant. After they had landed he and his wife went to live at Newton. Shortly afterwards the prisoner and Moore, another seaman, came to their house and asked, to be allowed to live there. They left then* swags and went away. In the evening witness heard of some of the crew being in trouble about stealing cargo. They then opened Moore's bnndle and found some things which they thought looked like stolen goods. They communicated with the police. The prisoner's bag was not opened .because they were not able to get it open. , This was the case for the prosecution. The prisoner, when asked what he had to Bay, replied that he had nothing to do with the stealing of the property. The coat which he had worn he borrowed from a man named Wright, and gave it back the same night. He did not even know that the cargo had been broached. The Bench having consulted, decided that the evidence was not sufficient to justify a .conviction, and they, therefore, dismissed the charge. The prisoner was then set at liberty. The other prisoners were called into Coxxrt. The Bench asked what was the value of the property re-found ? This was set down as about £40.

After .some consultation the magistrates' inflicted a Sentence of twelve weeks' impri sonmentwith hard labour on each prisoner, in addition to ordering each to refund £12 oat of then* wages.

This was all the business,

The mind, not sense, Make the one scale by which ye measure Your opulence.

This is the solace, this the science, Life's sweetest, purest, best appliance, That disappoints not man's reliance, Whate'er his state, But challenges with calm defiance Time, fortune, fate,

Xhe Bank of Australasia. Ist. The great want of a thoroughly Colonial Bank ing Institution for the whole Colony of New Zealand having been long felt it has been determined by the Provisional Committee to supply the same by placing before the public the prtsent carefully considered scheme, with the full confidence that it will meet with very general support. 2nd. As a first step proposed to offer to the people of this Colony one-half of the nominal capital, or 200,000 shares, in fair proportions to each of the Pro vinces throughout New Zealand, on the basis of the respective populations of each Province, reserving the other half to be disposed of hereafter, as the rapid progress of the Colony may demand and shareholders may decide; but in no instance will any of the remain ing shares be offered for tale nut of the Colony without having been first offered to the Colonial holders, nor will any but a Mew Zealand register be kept. 3rd. It is intended that the Head Office of the Bank thill be in Dunedin, and that a General Manager of high professional standing shall be ap pointed to guide the operations ot the Bank; and also that a Board of qualified Directors shall be elected from among the Committee to advise with the General Manager, and generally to watch the interests of the whole institution. 4th. As soon as a sufficient number of shares shall have been applied for to warrant the commencement of business the Head Office will be opened in Dun edin, in suitable premises already secured under offer, and thereafter Branches will gradually be opened in the chief centres of settlement throughout the Colony. sth It will be the chief aim of the promoters of this Bank to aid and conserve alike the interests of the whole community in this Colony. The Mer cantile, Trading, Pastoral, Agricultural, Mining, Artizan, and Labouring Classen will each have fair treatment and support from the Colonial Bank. To the mining intere t special attention will be (riven, with » desire to acquire for the Miners the Mint value of their gold, whether in large or small quantities, and until such value can be ascertained a liberal ad vance will be made upon any gold deposited for the, purpose of coinage 6th. It is not intended by the promoters that this Bank shall purchase gold, but merely be prepared to make advances upon it until realised, in the same manner that it will be ready to do upon Wool, Grain, or other produce. * 7th. The amounts of New Zealand Money in the hands of the three Banks from Australia, trading in the Colony on (he 31st December last, as shewn by their several returns furnished to the Government, appear thus, without giving odd numbers :— Deposits. Circulation. Total. Union Bank of Australia .. £870,000 .. £123,425 .. £993,426 Bank of New South Wales 560,000 .. 104,849 .. 664,849 Bank of Aus tralasia .. 193,000 .. 88,932 .. 231,962 Shewing a total of .. .. ..£1,890,236 or nearly two millions of money belonging to colonists entrusted to Boards of Directors in Melbourne or <sydney to control or manipulate as it may please their tastes ; or as it m.ay bo convenient for the good of commerce in Victoria or New South Wales; or for the btnfcfieial regulation of theii exchange operations in those Colonies. Bth. The promoters, in placing t'ne foregoing facts before the people of this colony, desire to point out the very great disadvantages that colonist are sure to labour under by lending or rathor giving— such ' a large sum of money as stated above to foreign Banks, to be lent back to the people here at very high rates of interest, and on most arbitrary conditions. They therefore have no hesitation in suggesting the pru dence and wisdom of the colonists keeping within their own domain • the absolute control of their own moneys, as by doing so they will most effectually de stroy the risk of future monetary disturbances, which they have hud on more than one occasion to deplore in the past, brought about f olely by some crisis that has occurred in one others of the Australian Colonies, where the* real interest of the foreign Bank most strongly take root. 9th. It has been determined by the promoters that the first issue of 200,000 shares shall be conducted by committees, to be appointed severally in the chief city in each province, and no shares will be given or re served to the promoters ; but each member of the Provisionnl Committee is willing to become a sub scriber for the number of shares standing opposite to his name.* 10th, It is proposed at the issue of shares above re. fesrred to tbst 6s per share be ptid on application; that 10s pct1 iharo be paid on allotmeßt; that it call of 6k per shores be made and payable two months afUtf i aUotaeat j that ft Hseaft C*U M {»ii>w sliw«)»• m»A«



and payable four months after allotment; and that a third call of 5s prr share be made and payable six 1 mouths after allotment—making together 30s paid up i per share. No further call to be made within twelve 1 months of the Bank Erst commencing business in i Dunedin ; afier which future calls will not exceed 5s per share, nor be made at shorter intervals than three i months between each call. i 11 th. The Act of Incorporation for this Bank will be ' so framed as to limit the liability of the shareholders I to twice the amount of their shares, the same as Ihe ' other Banks. I 12th. As a thoroughly colonial institution the pro : moters have much pleasure in strongly recommending ; " The Colonial Bank of New Zealand" to the sup ' port of all colonists having the real welfare of New Zealand at heart. Such an institution is much wanted jat the present time, and as the development of the : colony proceeds its usefulness will also increase, and be more and more appreciated, both as an investment for the savings of the people, and as a useful Bank. Judging from the influence and sound experience pos sessed by the promoting members of committee it is certain that no similar institution has ever yet been launched in the Southern Hemisphere under better auspices. „, ~. A deputation of Provisional Directors will visit Auckland in a few days for the purpose of co-operat ing with a local Provisional Committee. Meantime forms of application for shares may be obtained, and applications" ma? be lodged with the Union Bank of Australia and Bank of Australasia. FOEM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. Date 1874.
