MEETING OF MR J. C. MORRIN'S CREDITORS.

1 meeting of creditors in the estate of J. C. Morrin was held to day High-street. There was a large attend £of creditors, nearly 40 being present or resented. Mr H. Isaacs was voted to i chair. A discussion took place at the amencement as to whether the Press mid be allowed to be present or not. On iquestion being put to the meeting it was cd"That the Press be requested not to orfc the meeting." This was tantamount declaring the meeting a private one. We y, however, state generally that the Kluies are about £22,000, and tbe Union nit, which is a large creditor, holds miderable securities over the estate. ltt considerable discussion it was olved that the estate should be igued for tbe benefit of all creditors, and »rs E Isaacs, B.

THE STRATHNAVER SALVAGE CASE.

WELLINGTON

(From our own Correspondent.)

This day. The landlords are masters of the situation, and ask just what rents they like. People have no choice but to submit. .It is not every day one is afforded the opportunity of being able to change his residence, an un occupied house being quite a rarity Ten shillings a-week cottages eighteen months ago, are now expected to fetch 25s a week.

A Foxton correspondent in hist night's Post sa^ s, many charges of negligence could be ma<ie against MrHaloombe's management of the Fielding Settlement. Ie says the Post was quite right in the accusations made.

The Strathnaver case is dragging on. From the evidence yesterday it is perfectly clear that the ship was in a dangerous position when hailed by the steamer and boarded by the pilot.

A large sale of suburban land was held yesterday. Prices were unusually high for sucb rugged and remote allotments. The prices averaged about £150 per acre for land, all long distances from town.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING CASE.

DUNEDIN,

(From our own Correspondent. This day,

An important shipping case has just been decided relative to the responsibility of the captain of immigrant ships for passengers' luggage. George Moir sued the captain of the Invercargill for £22 10s, value of luggase lost and the discomfort caused by defendant's negligence. Judgment was given for plaintiff, £16 10s, the Bench re marking that a ship was liable for the cap tain. Leave to appeal was refused.

WELLINGTON,

This day

Commenting upon the statistics for 1873. just issued, the Times points out that the Government paid the passages wholly or in part of 8754 immigrants without colonial experience, 1509 of them children, during 1873, but that for the same period 4761 persons, a large proportion being experienced colonists, left the colony. It attributes the result partly to bad land and mining laws. It is estimated that the population of the colony on December 31st, 1873, was 295,946.

CHARGES OF CRUELTY BY AN IMMIGRANT AT NAPIER.

NAPIER. (Per Press Telegram Agency.)

This day.

An enquiry into tbe alleged cruelty by the captain of the Bebington to an immigrant girl has concluded. Tbe result is not made public. The captain is also said to contemplate legal proceedings on his side. The evidence is said to be contradictory. The girl states that she refused to give up a pocket-book contaiaing memoranda of modems on the voyage, and concealed it about her person, and was seized, and tied up and stripped, when the book was taken from her. All the immigrams ex Bebington are engaged. Four of the sailors of the same ship ' were sent to gaol for a month for refusing to work. They pleaded guilty, and complained of bad treatment and insufficient food) but tbis was not proved.

DARING BURGLARY IN QUEEN STREET.

Early this morning an entrance was effected into the offices of the Norwich Union Insur ance Company, Vailes' Buildings, Queen and Wyndham-street, in a most daring manner, such as, we are happy to say is seldom attempted by the housebreakers of Auckland. As is well known the fine block of buildings which includes the Norwich Union offices, has been purchased by the National Bank, and is now in the hands of work men who are effecting great altera tions and improvements such as will render the structure one of the finest m the city. While the. alterations have been going on the lower part of the building has necessarily been open and readily accessible. As it had, however, been completely stripped, no more danger was anticipated from this cause than in the case of a new building, but early this morning the wall dividing the Norwich Union offices from the rest of the building was broken right through. Most fortunately, Mr Graham in his office at the time, no doubt unknown to the burglar, and hearing the noise of breaking through the wall, he waited quietly for the appearance of the yii lian's head, with the intention of seizing it im mediately it was thrust through the wall, and of tying the intruder up until handed over to the police. Nearer and nearer came the chipping of the bricks and the thud. of the hammer, and Mr. Graham thought it would be wise to get Constable Mul ville with a warrant ready to serve it on the villain instanter. On returning with that efficient officer the opening right through had been effected,^ and the burglar was seized red-banded. He pleads that he is employed by the National Bank to carry out certain alterations to the premises under the directions of Mr Reals, architect, but it is needless to say that such apalpable excuse will not avail, and whether bis at ate ment is true or no, it is evident that the crime of breaking and entering has been committed, no permission to break through 3H3 having been granted by Mr Graham.

THE COAL RESOURCES OF THE PROVINCE.

We have much pleasure in giving insertion «! th^ fol. lowil "S» on "The Coal Resources of the Province," from an esteemed correspon dent :- Sir)— While the pedple of Aticfciand city appeal-to be much interested in dis cussing pi-bviiidia.! attd 6ehtHLl |d6alttdiA, *iid af6 Using every eff,.rt to avoid an education tax, regardless of the advantages of educa tion, they appear to all but ignor* the ad vantages of developing the resources of the coiintrjr north of AhSkland. $htfs, while We are importing hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of coal from Australia, and while those imports are going on increasing from year to year, yet it is now admitted on every hand that we have coal of a supetior quality to that which is im ported, and not only does our coal extend over a large portion of 'he North, but it is found situate near to our best harbours. The Bay of Islands harbour is looked upon as equal to the best harbour in the world, and although the Kawakawa coal basin can be made available to it from the Kawa kawa, VVaitangi, or Kirikiri river, yet so great is the apathy of the capitalists of Auckland that although the Legislature of the colony has voted a railroad from the coal field to deep Water in the Bay (over three years ago) yet the question of extending that road has been allowed to languish- until within the last few weeks. Thank fortune this railway is now about being carried out No doubt this progress is owing to the fact of the Kawakawa Coal Company having for the last two years met with with so much success in their undertakings. They have not only extended their operations and added to their plant to an extent in value, equal to the work done by the out lay of their first paid-up capital; but they have also made a dividend not long ago, thus adding to the value of their stock and lease, which extends to 99 years, at a royalty of about 4^. All those improvements made from profits may not have been quite fair, to the interests of the smaller and poorer, shareholders, but as the stock of the com pany is chiefly held by; a few rich men. (the richest in the province), who are Bank, and Insurance Directors large Mill owners &c , they were able to lay out of their money until their property is largely improved. They will now reap tbe result of their patience, and investment of previous profits. For the benefit of a number of people down here in the neighbourhood of the mine, and for the benefit of the coal miners, who now , form a large and respectable body, many of whom have their own bouses and gardens. It would be much better if the capital of the comoany were extended, so that some of the shares could be placed within the reach of these working people ; for it would be a great in centive to the men working at and about the mine to feel that they had an interest in the works While the profits of the mine were sunk in improvements, &c, no doubt but shares could have been got at a discount, but sinoe the means of conveyance from the mine to the shipping, the winning of the coal, and in short all of the work, to securing the mine by timber, Ac, has b<en let by contract; and since the prices of all this contract work does not exceed one-half of the price got for the coal, when delivered by the contractors to the shipping, there is no chance apparently of any person buying shares down here, and unless theie are more shares ushered, it. is not likely that many shares will now change hands even in Auckland. It has be^n reported down here and else where, that like many other valuable inter ests, the Kawakawa shares are chiefly held by a few persons, who manage to keep shares down in price, or to raise them at pleasure, and that while those holders stamp a value on there shaic* for others to sell, yet if pressed to sell themselves at that p-ice, they would not part with one, but through other hands they go on adding to their stock at the price n*med. Let us hope, however, that the day of such things in Auckland are about over, and that the interests of the Bay of Island* may not suffer from such monopoly, regardless of the interests of the miners and settlers, who ought atleast tohavea fairchancewith others. If at present Kawakawa coal shares can be purchased in Auckland at par, or helow it, the broker who would offer them in the Bay would most likely make a handsome com mission on them. - Respectfully yours, A Bay of Island Correspondent."

MASONIC HALL IN AUCKLAND.

It has long been a reflection on the Masons of Auckland, that the body possesses no ball for the holding of meetings aud for other Masonic purposes. The subject has fre quently been agitated but owing to one cause and another, the various steps taken have never culminated in any definite action for supplying the want, until within the pant few weeks. A conference of delegates from the various Auckland lodges was, however, recently decided upon, and in pursance of this determination the delegates met at the Masonic Hotel last even ing, at haf-past seven o'clock. There were theo present the following delegates : — Lodge Ara : Bros G. P. Fierce. P G.M. ; G. H Layers, W.M. ; W. W. Robinson, S.W. Lodge St. Andrews : M. Niccol, W.M. ; E. B Dickson, S.N. United Service ; W. W. Batt, W.M. ;J. H. Burns, jun., Lodge v» aitemata : W. R. Hay ward, W.M. ; Y. Warren and H. S. Meyers. Lodge Prince of Wales : G N. Brassy, W.M. ; W H. Skinner, S.W.; F. G Clayton, J.W. Mark Masters Lodge : A. Fleming, J. James, H. G Wade. Royal Arch Chapter: C. A. Harris, W. Lodder. Bro G. P. Pierce was vote ito the chair. Bro Brassey, the secre tary pro tern., read the minutes of the pre liminary meeting of W.MS., held on the 20th instant. After a long discussion, it was resolved tbat a Committee be formed of the different W.M.S., to recommend a sifr-, and to bring up a report at next meeting, as to the probable cost of a suitable building. After a vote of thanks to the chair man, they adjourned to the Bth December. It is satisfactory to know that there is now a fair prospect of a Masonic Hall being erected in our city, and we have no d<>ut;t that the Order will erect a temple worthy of its name and influence.
