CLOSING EEMAEKS. Bnt, Mr Editor, in closing—whether it 13 street railway or no street railway, I do trust that whatever information is sought for in the future will be open and above board, for God preserve Auckland from what is always a enrse in legislation, ".-tar Chamber Con claves," for I think the motto should ever l)e that v hat is not fit for the people to know is not worth knowing at all. Of course there -was a great deal more took place, but simply general information on the subject. Whilst hasty action in such matters ought generally to be deprecated, I do trust that iv the con sideration of this question no prejudices against the undertaking will be indulged in simply because it happens to be an American idea. As the place of my birth, Ido hope that Aucklanders will be ever ready to take advantage of progressive ideas, even though they be the production of the irrepressible Yankee. Wishing every success to the future of Auckland, I am, yours, &c, W. E. Tukner.

GRAHAMSTOWN.

(From our Own Correspondent.) This day. Important from Taima- News ficm Taiiua states that two shots •were put into a lode in the Prospectors' shaft, and displaced a considerable quantity of rich picked stone and a large quantity of ]oo6e gold was washed, and the reef is now £ne quartz, with very little cement. Bis Honor the Superintendent.

The Superintendent to-day has received numerous deputations on the drainage ques tion. Messrs Kennan and Mackay waited on him urging that something be done either by establishing drainage areas or compelling the owners of mines adjoining pumping ma chinery to submit to arbitration in regard to drainage contributions. TbeyjJ pointed out the great difficulties which lay in the way of putting^ the present dniaage laws into force.

His Honor suggested tbat a Mining Board might be established with power to make bye-laws for the regulation of drainage and other questions. He promised to bring the question before the House.

Messis C. F. Mitchell and Rowe, and others waited on the Superintendent with re ference to the land question. Mr Mitchell urged that the Ohinemuii goldfield be opened to agriculture leases. His Honor said that Ohinemuri was opened under a special agree ment, which, he had never seen A public record had been locked up in a private box, and of such little moment was the interest of hundreds of people that this private box could not be broken open, nor the keg sent by post. He could do nothing until he had the agreement, and saw his power.

Mining

The City of London broke through to the main level on the jusction of No. 3 and 4 Teefs. In cutting down the banging wall of No. 4 for timber they obtained a good show of gold. The El Dorado lease was re-enteied to-day by the Mining Inspector for non-fulfilment of regulations. The Dauntless tribute crushed 10 tons for 11 ounces gold.

Arrived : Pea emaker, ship, from Lon don, 115 days out. She encountered a suc cession of terrific gales in the Bay of Biscay, and hove to for seven days. She is very deeply laden, and laboured heavily, shipping much water. Crossed the Equator on March 30 ; then had ten days doldrums weather, followed by poor S.E. trades. On the Dight of the 13th April, she collided with the Italian barque Repamari, and carried away the head gear and fore royal mast and yard. The barque lost her main yard and both main topsail yards. Very variable winds were experienced in the Southern ocean, and high cross seas, the barque making bad weather of it ; taking a quantity of water over all. From the meridian of Adelaide she contended with light variable winds. Labourer's Wages.

THE WHEELER AND DE GLORIONS.

This comedy and athletic troupe made their debitt last evening in tbe City Hall before r.r. Auckland audience. The entertainment was of that light and volatile nature which makes fun and stirs laughter rather than otherwise. There is a time to laugh, however, as the wise man says, and the particular mission of this lively troupe seems, to be in the latter direction. The programme of last night opened with an operatic chorus by the three principal actors, Miss De Courcy, Mrs. Ben Wheeler, and. Master Bennie ; after which tha Jady sang several ballads, which were well received. We muat avow, however, that we preferred this lady's sentimental to her comic songs. The several Irish gems in character, by Mr Wheeler, were excellent delineations of Irish charac ter, and produced a ring of merriment. Mas ter Bonnie's three chaiacter changes (the "Dashing Belle," the "Policeman," and " Young Swell"), were clever imitations, and. the rapidity of the change of dress and aspect was really lemarkable, and evidently astonished the major part of the audience. A greal of true Hibernian humour was thrown into " Barney's Courtship," by^Mr Wheeler and Miss de Courcy. The act was well worked out, and the songs and final dance gave life and spirit to the piece, which other wipe mi^ht have failed. Mr Wheeler, as "Handy Andy," was very successful, in which piece Master Bennie represented the Squire. The piece was full of Irish bulls, and kept the observers in a state of happy fermen tation and flow of spirits. The comedietta, called the " Divorce," was successful in win ning favor, and great credit is due to Master Bennie, whose impersonation of Sam, the black servant, who was constantly meddling with his master and mistress, was highly amusing. The great flights of Lo-Lo across the hail and through the paper baloons were the most wonderful part of tbe entertain ment. The acrobatic performances of this lady-evolutionist and tbe De Glorion Brothers were the most perfect of the amusements, and won the plaudits of the house. The flying leap by Lo-Lo is a most remarkable and perilous fight from one end of the hall to the other. The performances, with a few slight changes, will be repeated this evening.

SUPREME COURT.—IN BANCO.

YESTERDAY. —(Continued. )

(Before His Honor Mr. Justice Gillies). GREENWOOD V. CROWN PKINCE G M.Co!

After Mr Hesketh had replied to Mr McCormick's argument, His Honor delivered judgment for the plaintiff, with costs. Damages, Is. In delivering the judgment His Honor said he was of opinion tbat the plaintiff's argument had failed on the question of due notice of the calls being due, but was made out on the second ground, viz , that no declaration of forfei ture had been made by the Company. The expiration of the notice did not in itself constitute forfeiture without declara tion. In assessing the damages he had been guided by the practice in cases in trover, which the present suit nearly resembled. In those, it was usual to fix the damages at the value of the property at the time it was converted. At the time the Company appropriated the shares, they^ were unsaleable, so that he should award merely nominal damages.

THIS DAY.

IN BANKRUPTCY.

Re Geokge Lankham,

Bankrupt was described as having been a dairyman at the Thames, and afterwards a schoolmaster. On the 19th of November, 1874, the liabilities were set down &n £70, and the assets as £40. There was no opposition, and the bank rupt, who was represented by Mr. W. H. Kissling, passed his last examination, and received his discharge. Be R. J Davidson. Mr. W. H. Kissling appeared for the bankrupt, who was described in the trustees' report as a hotelkeeper of Ngaruawahia. In May last bis liabilities were £654 ss. 6d., and his assets £584. These latter, however, consisted of trade debts, valued at only £100 There was consequently a deficiency of £554 ss. 6d. The bankrupt made oath that the accounts presented by him to the trustee were correct, and there being no opposition was discharged. Re James Lamb. This case, in which the bankrupt was coal and firewood merchant in Queen-street, whose failure was brought .about by his boiler blowing up, had been adjourned from the last sitting to enable the bankrupt to explain certain matters to the trustee, Mr W. Kirby. Mr "MacCormick now on behalf of the trustee said that gentlemen now withdrew all opposition to the bankrupt's discharge. Mr Hughes for the bankrupt examined his client to show that he had given all infor mation in his power to the trustee. Mr Kirby not being in court, Mr Dickson, one of the supervision informed the court that this was the fact. His Honor administered a reproof to the bankrupt for the slovenly manner in which his books had been kept: at the same time as the trustee appeared to be satisfied that the accounts were so far as supplied correct and honest he should declare his last examination passed. On the application of Mr Hughes, the bankrupt then received his discharge. Re J. W. Wallek. . Mr J. B. Russell for the bankrupt, applied for an order of complete execution of a deed of arrangement. He was in a position to state that all opposition to the application had been withdrawn. The Court b " ving been satisfied that the requirements of the Act had been complied with, granted the order. Re Nathan Lewis Josephs;

This case has been adjourned from time to time.for the last six months. The bankrupt is a store-keeper at Hamil ton, and ascribed his insolvency to the failure of J. C. Morrin, with whom he was mixed up with accommodation bills. Mr Bees was for the bankrupt and'Mr Meyer for the opposing creditor. The trustee's report shewed that con siderable irregularity b^d occurred all through the case. h< thu first place the

declaration of insolvency had been irregular n point of time. (Mr Rees shewed that this was the fault of bankrupt's solicitor in the Waikato). When a vesting order was ob tained to throw the estate into the hands of the trustee, the assistance of the police had to be obtained before the store was taken possession of. The accounts of stock were made by guesswork, the bankrupt having only kept a, . very imperfect system of accounts. His statement fur nished to the trusteewere merely a transcript of his bankbook. By these it appeared that in November, 1876, his asssets were £927 16a 7d, and liabilities, £892 7s lid; surplus, £35 8s Bd. Receipts to 28th December, 1874 £5082 9a 9d ; expenditure, £5050 ss. During the same time the bankrupt experienced losses on bills dishonoured to the extent of £282. Seventeen creditors had proved. Mr Myers said he would not waste the. time of the Court in examining the bankrupt upon a statement of accounts which he submitted did not even purport to be in accordance with the order of the Court.

Mr Rees argued for a length of time that the Act did'not intend to prevent a bankrupt who had not kept proper books from re ceiving his discharge.

His Honor, however, maintained that the requirements of the Act were clearly that the accounts should be furnished upon better foundations than those of the bankrupt, which did not even in spirit show his dealings, and he should not allow him to pass his examina tion till fuller accounts bad been furnished.

Ultimately his Honor adjourned the case till the end of next month.

He Bray Brothers

The bankrupts in this case are Messrs. Joseph Thomas Bray, and Chas. Bray, con traetots at Nelson.

A rule nisi for adjudication in bankruptcy was obtained by the creditors on the 10th of May.

The rule had been enlarged from time to time up to the present sittiDg. Mr, Bennett now appeared to show cause against the rule being made absolute. Mr Hcsketh appeared in support of the rule, representing the interests of a petition ing creditor, one Harley, a brewer, who had proved for a sum of £204.

The cane, which has no interest except for Nelson readers, was not fiuished when our reporter left.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The " Wandering Heir " was produced last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre, and received with acclamations of pleasure by the numerous audience. Miss May Howard sustained her dual character with, the pre cision and ability which she displayed on a former occasion. Mr. G. W. Collier re presented the reßtless heir with much satisfaction. Mr Poole, as Jip, exhibited his original propensity, and was full of fun x and humour. Jedediah Surefoot, was a fine portrait, by Mr Oily Deering. The remaining characters were well rendered, and the "Wandering Heir" was another laurel to the credit of this company. We notice that. Boucicault's kew version of " Lady Audley's Secret " will be the piece of this evening; Mita May Howard as Lady Audley; and Miss Clara iittpheuson as Allicia.
