iffr Broharo said he could not give the one «S jfhoutthe other, the very information would iff V. ise the name of the informant. I cannot give an answer to the question ithout giving an unmistakable clue to the Sine of my information. His Worship said that if the information wa 7 absolutely necessary Mr Broham could to Mr Joy : The suspicion gainst the other man was slight and vague, and' chiefly' rested onj prisoner's statement. T heard from five different witnesses thab no man ran away from the scene of the fire, and that no person was there but the prisoner. This gave me reason to suspect the prisoner, bnt; I am not sure whether it was before or after the reward had been offered offered.

SUPREME COURT.

IN BANCO.

Before Hia Honor Sir Geo. A. Arney, Knt., Chief Justice. MACFABLANE V. HARRIS.

Mr McCormick, on behalf of the defendant in this well-worn case, applied for a rule nisi to discharge an injunction issued to restrain defendant from removing certain logs at Wangapoa. The ground of the application was the neglect of the plaintiff to carry oh the action. The learned counsel " ex plained that the writ was issued 23rd July, 1872, The plea was delivered on the 22nd August of the same year, and the provisional injunction on the 14th August. Plaintiff applied to amend declara tion on the 20th December. No new pleas were entered by the defendant. The affi davit of Mr MeKechnie, sworn on the 24th June, set forth that on the 4th December last, pursuant to instructions, he enquired of the plaintiff if he intended to proceed in the case at the next civil sessions? To this the plaintiff answered that he did. In spite of this no steps had been taken either at the January or April sessions. Notice of the intention to move for the dis charge of the injunction was given on the 28th May. Mr MacCormick supported his application by several affidavits. His Honor granted the rule.

IN BANKRUPTCY.

Be Henry Campbell.

The bankrupt, who was represented by Mr MacCormick, was described as a settler at Grahamstown.

The Trustee's report set forth that on De cember last he took a contract in the Queen of Beauty mine, which turned out badly. He was nnable to pay his workmen, and one of them sued and obtained judgment against him. In consequence of this he was forced to become bankrupt. On the 16fch May the liabilities were £243 7s 6d, and the assets £12155, leaving a deficiency of £230 12s 6d. Mr McCormick applied for the discharge of the bankrupt. There was no opposition, md the bankrupt having sworn to the truth of his statement received his discharge. Re Geo. Thorite.

Mr Buddie (representing Mr Whitaker) for the bankrupt, and Mr McCormick for the Bukof New South Wales, opposing creditors. The examination of the bankrupt was con tinned by Mr McCormick. Witness gave over the barrels of resin to Potter to hold for Cameron, together with other goods by the Skimmer of the Waves. This was done to protect Cameron, and to prevent him from having to prove in the estate.

Mr McCormick : Was it not to prevent tie goods getting into the hands of the trus tee?

Mr Thome : It was to protect Cameron. Mr McCormick repeated the question. The Bankrupt adhered to his answer. Mr McCormick : Will you either answer my question or refuse to answer it. Did you not.hand over these goods to prevent them coming into the hands ef the trustee ? tThfi Bankrupt gave no definite answer. A letter dated 24th December, from Mr Potter, asking for his discharge from bank rupt's employ, and referring to Potter's hav ing taken over a portion of the building, was not dictated by witness. The part the.building claimed .by Mr Potter had been in the occupation of the firm of John Roberton and Co., and had been used by bankrupt. Mr MacCormick here said he had been in rtracted that bankrupt had put Potter into possession of the premises to oblige the traateea to bring an action of ejectment •gainst Mr Potter. He wished to know, therefore, if it was true. .Bankrupt denied this. When the con signment of goods was made per Skimmer of <if the Waves he was unable to say whether Sure would be a surplus or not. In the -ledger the accounts of consignments went into the general accounts. There were sepa rate, accounts kept of the consignments of the Skimmer of Waves. The drafts against the goods were not entered on the contra side a each .account. In that sense separate were not kept. 500 cases,, of the wrosene were sent to Sydney for sale. He* could not say how much they fetched. He could, not remember whether to bad received an account of sales from MrThorne, senr. The bankrupt on re ference to the journal said he saw there was a IM«ofJ62. He did not always fix the value w goods at the figure of the invoice. He Md heard of ■" salting invoices." His Honor said he had not. Mr-MacGormick explained that it waH putting down, larger values to goods than was nght in order to enable larger drafts to drawn •gainst them. His Honor : But surely they don't do such ttungßinNew Zealand? * did^ llele^ nei ; counsel rather thought they

ckrks SSOf thatshi Pmentdonet>yyour own said he did uot know On being pressed he admitted that all the business except the passing of the export entry was done by his clerks. Between^ date of the arrival of the vessel and the 24th December a sale of 1,000 cases of kerosene took place. On the 24th December he could not arrive at any estimation of *hat would be the result of the sale. An entry appears in the cash-book after the 26th December Received from -Potter £12 10s, rent to March 1874." The 2 after the 26th Decent ber did not to his knowledge mean 2nd Janu ary.

His Honor here made some remarks on the wisdom of keeping accounts in the ordinary way. Had these been kept so, all the mat ters which were now taking such a length of time to investigate would have been settled he*?™ the trustee, and the great expense which was now incurred would have been saved to the estate as well as the incon venience to the bankrupt hmself and others Under present circumstances it could not be much a matter of complaint if the case lasted over two months.

Examination continued : It was by his own instructions that the entries in the cash-book were made up to the 24th December. He signed blank cheques for various payments on that date. He could not say how many of these were presented. It was possible to find out to whom and when the payments were made—by enquiring of the people themselves—not by the books. He must admit it was not a proper way to keep accounts. He had instructed these creditors to be paid because be had made up his mind that they should not appear in the bank ruptcy. He did not know at the time that he was going to become bankrupt, but the Bank drove him to it. He became aware during December that the bank would drive him into bankruptcy. He made the payments under his idea of right and wrong. He made them with a view to the Bank of" New South Wales being his sole creditors. (The bankrupt refused to add the words " in bankruptcy "to his answer). He had been advised by men of experience that the Bank would never drive him into bankruptcy ; that they would not dare to do so. Many had so advised him. He could say on what grounds : his liability to them was rather large, perhaps that was the reason. He could not see what Potter referred to in his letter of the 24th December when he used the words "approaching crisis." Mr MacCormick again pressed the bank rupt on the subject of the payments made to protect Messrs Cameron and Co., but the bankrupt would not admit that he had made those payments with a view to keeping part of the estate out of the hands of the trustee.

SCENE IN THE NAPIER COUNCIL.

NAPIEE

This day. The Pretty Jane leaves at noon to-day for Auckland.

An exciting scene occurred in the Pro vincial Council last night. Ihe Superinten dent in debating the question of a road to Oero gave the lie direct to Mr Buchanan, Speaker. Mr Carlile, editor of the Herald, attempted to support Mr Ormond, apparently to the latter's great annoyance.

Both Mr Buchanan and Mr Ormond were greatly excited, so much so that Mr Ormond sneered at Mr Buchanan relative to past transactions during the native excitement in 1808.

Mr Buchanan retorted, reminding Mr Or mond that during the fight at Omaranui Mr Ormond, seeing Maoris advancing who hap pened to be friendlies, called for his horse, and rode rapidly away. A committee in connection with tenders for printing, etc., brought up its report, and recommends that the tender be given to the proprietor of the Times, being the lowest tenderer. Previously it was given to the Herald proprietors. It was found on exami nation that there were grave mistakes in the calculations of the Board, and the whole sub ject will be discussed to-day in Council. Public feeling here is aroused in consequence of these matters, and the Provincial Govern ment is becoming very unpopular.

MR HANNAFCRD AND THE GOOD TEMPLARS.

To the Editor : Sir,—l am afraid my affec tionate brethren of the Pioneer Lodge 1.0. G.T. will have considered I have entirely forgotten them; not so; the following is a proof to the contrary :—A few weeks back a gentleman (whose name I enclose) called upon me and earnestly desired I would propose him for membership in the Order j to this I gladly assented. I should have as cheerfully done so had he been one of Auck land's humblest inhabitants. The prefatory forms were gone through, and the candidate warned to beat the Junction Lodge, foot of Pitt-street, on Thursday evening last, for initiation. It got known to certain officers of the Pioneer Lodge that such was going to happen : no time was lost, the gentlemen was SerViewed-persuaded to bend his footsteps on the night in question to the Pioneer officials as a petty JWJS" I*"*1*"* shoot from the main Lodge (i>i then^ own , and it being their initiation night, as well they with the full knowledge that he was to all intents and Proses a member of another lodge, proposed him, balloted for him, ob tained the Lodge Deputy's dispenslation for him, and made a "Pioneer" of jhim .last Thursday night, all within the compass of an hour ! No one rejoices more than 1 do that the gentleman in question is one ot ufl," but I do complain of theltbimplerxg tnat

has lost the "Junction" its honestly acquired member. I should like those Pioneer worthies to inform me what they mean by an insignificant lodge. Unless they term the "David" of Pitt-street m numbers insignificant as compared with the " Goliath" of Albert-street I am utterly at a loss to interpret the term. A more de voted little band of Good Templars, more earnest workers, more zealous officers, a more indefatigable W.C.T. to preside over them, and more thorough unity of purpose in all combined is not to be met with in any other lodge in AuoHand,. or for that matter the whole colony, than the Junction Lodge 1.0 G.T. Now this is what I call an insig nificant lodge, no matter whether its numbers be few or many, a lodge whose W.C.T. endeavours to enforce ridiculous rules and regulations ; so ridiculous that some of his subjects shout into his astonished ears that what he is aiming at is all confounded rot! a lodge.where the oily gammon of Soapy Chariio is in the ascendant, and sterling worth- and merit recedes before the brazen front ;,-■• of plausibility and blather, a lodge' ■whose . few respectable, members are shocked and their feelings outraged by having as Chief Templar a man hot from, Mount Eden with the marks of 50 lashes :y on his '.bare back, administered withiijithe gaol .for garrotting, tljrust upon them i"1 and a lodge, moreover, that considers it has spent a profitable evening and done good service to the noble order in singing " Old -Uncle Ned" and other choice negro melodies ;-Aj, lodge, thai is eternally afflicted with'|he dreary bickerings of the South Newt&n Mouther and the Teetotal Barnicle ! As for certain" members of the Pioneer and Fraternal Home I know them ! Nothing is too mean for them to perform ..in the-bringing about their own selfish aims, and were it possible for a mortal to infuse vitality into inanimate matter I really think I should find little difficulty in producing manlier1 specimens of humanity than themselves out of—well, we will say earth-clbs,ets ! —Yoiirs, truly, T.
