to~tbe Industrial School for four years, to be brought up in the Wesleyan religion A girl of fourteen years, Mary Kelly, was ■ also brought.upO/f«^e charge Mr Broham s, _* ™X " the girl had been in the Industri- c^ -but had left. The girl, %jF \ • epy intelligent and cleanly in appar .^ c nformed his Worship that she hM^ Tfi \ CTi^tions' bufc her mother invs «jut of them, and consequently b^J. -■*-- Slaved of the oppor tunity of getting her living. It appeared that the mother of the girl was the woman Kelly, who was tried at the Supreme Court in connection with a case of infanticide, and who was a notorious drunk ard. She was now at Mongonui. Mr. Stickley said he was anxious that the girl should be secured from destitution, and he would take her into the Home for a short time until a situation could be procured for her. This course was therefore allowed. Another lad was brought forward named Walker on the same charge ; he had also been in the school., and looked remarkably well. It was shewn that the lad was for a time in the employ of Mr J. B. Russell, but as that gentleman did not require his services any longer, it was desired that he should be got into the Home again. His Worship ordered him to the Home for four years, at the same time complimenting Mr Stickley on the appearance of the children under his charge. RATTLING JEMMY. James Weldon, alia 3 Rattling Jemmy, was charged with a breach of the Merchant's Shipping Act, with disobeying lawful com mands on board of the Star of the South, on the 13th inst. • The case being fully proved the prisoner was ordered to prison for four months with hard labour. Prisoner: Can I have my wages your Worship ? Bis.Worship : Wages ; I never heard of such a thing. Take him away I His Worship then informed Mr Lodder that the man's wages must be paid at the end of his sentence, as he had not been charged with desertion- MISTAKEN IDENTITY. Timothy Hays, who had been previously charged with stealing a cow, value £4, the property of Thomas McQuiston, was again brought up. Mr Broham informed the Court that the prosecutor in this case bad made a mistake in the man, and was anxious to withdraw the charge Mr Laishley, who appeared for defendant, said that if the case went on he should be able to shew that there was gre&t animus in the matter, and that it was a case of perse cution. The two men were milkmen, and his client, in consequence of being locked up for a week, had lost his milk run. His Worship strongly urged upon the prosecutor the necessity of making compen sation to Mr Hays for the wrong he had done him. The defendant was then discharged. A DEFAULTER. John Robinson was summoned for non payment of City rates, 15s due on property in Sheridan-street. The case being proved by Mr Harrop, the Court ordered the same to be paid forthwith. NEGLECT OF CLOSETS. Peter McArthur was charged with neglect ing to clean a closet on his property in Chan cery-street. Mr Goldie, inspector, and another witness proved that the place in question was of a filthy description, and calculated to breed disease. Mr McArthur considered that he was a marked man, and the officer should Bhew no partiality in such matters. His Worship said that although our sanitary measures were not perfect they would be better possibly by and bye. He would recommend cleanliness, for without it diseases certainly would come. Defendant was fined 20s and costs. Louisa Carey was charged with having a very dirty yard. Mr Philips said he would withdraw this charge as defendant was a very poor woman, and had since cleaned the yard. PETER'S TENANTS. John Campbell was charged with threat ening to kill Peter McArthur, in Chancery street, on the 21st instant, and challenging , him to fight on Barrack Hill. Prosecutor said he was afraid that Camp- , bell meant to do for him, and he was anxious ' for protection. ] Ellen Hart deposed that she heard Camp- ] bell swear he would smash Peter's jaw and ] put his eye out. ' Defendant said it was all gammon. He was ordered to find sureties, himself in ( £10, and two in £5 each. ] Anne Buchan was then charged with , shaking a large stone at Peter's head, and Bwearing she would crack his skull on the ] same day. ' Mrs Buchan said she might have said so, but it was impossible for her to kill Peter ; ; he was too big for that. She had been a j widdie for thirty 'eers, and was now John Campbell's housekeeper. The Court expressed its surprise at the depravity of Chancery-lane, and ordered her r to find the same sureties as her gude man. c

in the Guardian contempt of Court case, He said if the article complained of had ended with the primary object of advocating the ex pediency of preserving the inviolability of the telegraph there had been no occasion for the rule, but it went beyond that in his opinion, it had the tendency imputed to it, though not so strong as to evince a depraved inten* tion, therefore he decided that the usual consequence as to costs would be sufficient vindication of the law. He could not sane , tion any writing pending an action which re flects, however cautiously, unon the pro ceedings of parties to an action" on their soli citor or counsel. The rule was made absolute with costs.

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

IN BANKRUPTCY.

(Before His Honor Sir George A. Arney, Knight Chief Justice). Re Daniel Collins. Re Johannes B. Kilian. Re Felix Murphy. The hearing of all these cases was post poned till next Court day. Re John Caldeb. This case was postponed till the 29th October. Re F. H. Crip*en. Mr Hesketh appeared on behalf of the bankrupt, who came up for final examina tion and dischaige. One creditor had proved. There was no opposition. The Trusteb's report, which was read, set forth that thj bankrupt had Jive years ago beena'seedsman at Waugarei, andafterwards a sharebroker. Neither of these employments did he make pay, and he became in debt. He has since been clerk to Mr Mackay ; but his debts gradually increased, till one of his creditors having sued him, and obtained judg ment, he was advised to seek the protection of the Court. Between February and August his receipts had amounted to £110, and his ex penditure, together with that of his wife, had amounted to £105. On the 31st August his liabilities were £556 12s lid ; assets, nil. His Honor made some rather strong re marks in reference to the bankrupt's conduct in accumulating debts when he had no chance of paying them. The bankrupt's discharge was then granted. Re Geo. Thorne, just. . This ease was put down for mention on the- list in order that the Court might le made aware whether by communication or any arrangement between the parties on either side it had been settled what class of accounts should be delivered, so that the pro ceedings might be accelerated. Mr Whitaker, on the case being called on, said he was sorry to say that nothing had been done.

His Honor said it was absolutely necessary that some arrangement should be come to. As it was going on the case would be drawn out till after Christmas.

Mr McCormack, in a lenghty speech, com plained very loudly of the bankrupt's defi cient statement. It was impossible from the bankrupt's accounts to identify any particu lar transaction. Mr McCormick concluded by proposing a system in which the estate of the bankrupt should be explained. This required the bankrupt to furnish a complete list of his expenditure and receipts during the three months between the Ist October and the end of December. Mr. Whitaker said if Mr McCormack would say shortly what it was he required he would undertake that it should be done.

Mr MacCoimick submitted that it was contempt of Couit for a bankrupt to furnish such a statement as Mr Thorne had supplied. His Honor said he did not impute to Mr Thorne any deliberate contempt of Court or attempt to defraud any one. He regarded his behaviour as simply a display of obsti nate self-will. He had hoped that such a proposition as that made by Mr MacCormick would have been submitted to Mr Whitaker and agreed to before the case was called on. Afrcr a long and animated argument the question resolved itself into the alternative whether the Ist October or the Ist September should be seL cted, as the date from which the new accounts should be rendered. Ulti mately both parties consented to accept an order of the Court requiring the accounts ro be rendered from the Ist September, 1873, up to the 3rd January. 1874, in the terms perused by Mr McCormick, and assented to by Mr Whitaker. Re David Burnside. Mr Hesketh appeared on behalf the bank rupt, and Mr E. Bennett for the opposing creditors. The bankrupt in this case is the proprietor of the Raglan Hotel, Papatoitoi, and will be rectollected as having been the defendant in an action for seduction, in which he was ordered to pay £250 compensation. It was arranged that the examination of the bankrupt should be deferred till next Court day, but the bankrupt's wife was subjected to a long examination by Mr Bennett, with a viesv to show ing that the furniture of the hotel had been hidden when the trustees' sale took place, and also to elicit some information as to the means of witness and her husband. Mrs Burnside swore that the furniture which "was hidden belonged to Mr-O'Donnell, a gen tleman who had been a friend of herself and her husband for years, and who resided at intervals with them. A.man named Ruther ford bought most of the furniture at the sale, and after taking it away returned it to the hotel. They did not pay him any rent for it. She did not know of her husband posses sing any mining scrip or bank shares, or any property of the kind. She did not know whether she had any pro perty of her own. She believed she was re- ( membered In her father's will.

His Honor said "remembered" was rather indefinite. He had heard once of a certain Betty being remembered in a will, but the reminiscence was that " Betty was a thief." (Laughter.) At the conclusion of Mrs Bumside s evi dence that of Mr O'Donnell was taken, after which the Court was adjourned to next Court day. -
