Votes each—24 in all. By this regulation, therefore, 13 creditors, representing debts to 6he amount of £GG3, can outvote—aa being "a majority in value"—two creditors repre nenting two millions. In the eyes of the fratr-vg of theseregulations, therefore, £663, jjtr" ./ tri D'ly distributed among thirteen indivi dual-. V s superior in value to two millions con centrate! in the hands of two persons. The conclusion i 3 not exactly in accordance with the views usually entertained by commercial men ; nor, as far as I can see, with the Act itself. The words of sub-section nine are as follows:—"A special resolution shall be decided by a majority in number and three fourths in value of the 'creditors present personally or by proxy at the meeting and voting on such resolution " By these words it is clear that two tbAngs are needful for carrying a special resolution, the first, that it be concurred in by a majority in number of the voting creditors, without regard to the amount of their respective debts, the second, that Buch majority in number should re present three-fourtha in value of the debts due to the voters; such value to be ascer tained from the proofs of debt filed by them. If the regulation in question be intended to allow creditors to create a "marjority in number" by the powers thereby granted of giving vote 3in proportion to their respective debts, it is palpably in contravention of the Act. If, on the other hand, it be intended to handicap the field of creditors, in order to prevent the lighter claimants from being jostled oub of the course, and to give them a fair chance in the race for a dividend, so humane an object must claim our warmest sympathy, and we can but regret that the Act does not warrant so charitable an inter vention. The meaning of the words " a majority in value," and " three-fourths in value," will inevitably be decided by sheer arithmetic, a3 Jong as |the human race retains the power of compound addition, all rules and regulations to the contrary not withstanding. Forasmuch, therefore, as these two. regulations are in contravention of the Act under which they purport to have been framed, they are ultra vires and void.

Mr O'Meagher having referred to Regula tioE 40, under which no creditor for a less amount than £10 is entitled to a vote, his Honor said—Many of our statutes, like our selves, are fearfully and wonderfully made. On the bench, however, we do not presume to criticise the wisdom of the Legislature, but we are bound to point out the results thereof. Under this Act, and the regulations we have been discussing, the position of the debtor is. to say the least, peculiar. If he owe £1000, in debts of £10 and nnder, the framers of the regulations do not consider Mm deserving of relief at all. But let us take an ordinary case of insolvency, when a debtovjcan offer his creditors no dividend, or only one too small to be worth looking after. He files his statement of insolvency, and thereupon his whole property vests in the tDlerk of the Court, his next step being to call a meeting of < his creditors. Now, there exists in most human bosoms, but especially in the mercantile breast, a curious disinclina tion to throw good money after bad, or to waste time in the unprofitable pursuit of an infinitesimal dividend. The debts, will, in all probability, be simply written off as bad by the various creditors, who will then decline all further trouble in the matter. It is plainly enter taining too exalted a view of human nature 4o suppose that a creditor who finds himself defrauded of his due will attend a series of meetings, at great loss of time to himself, keep minutes, and pass a variety of pleasing resolutions, not with the hope of obtaining a farthing of the amount due to him, but purely to enable his debtor to get clear of him altogether. In such a case, when creditors in sufficient number will not attend a single meeting (and I hear that several such cases have occurred recently), what is the position of the debtor ? Whatever property he has, or whatever may come to him, beyond his bare earnings, vests in the Clerk of the Court. He is not, however, protected from actions at law, or from their usual consequences. The clerk cannot pay the creditors, even if funds come into his hands, inasmuch as they are not entitled to be paid until they have proved their debts. Probably none would prove their debts prior to the first meeting of creditors, in which case they are directed to prove them before a chairman or trustee duly elected. In the case we are supposing, such elections would not have taken place, nor would a liquidation resolution have been passed. Under the Act the proceedings can go no further but do not lapse, and no provision is made for quashing them, or for replacing the debtor in the position he occupied before filing the fatal statement of insolvency. _ Freed from his property, but not from his debts, of a certainty "the la9t state of that man is worse than the first." The wisdom cf the Legislature has evidently deemed it fitting that a debtor, who has not reserved a portion of his estate sufficiently large to induce his creditors to attend his meetings in hope of a dividend should go down to bis grave in a state of liquidation. Until his debts are merged in the great debt of Nature Years may come and yeara may go, But he remains for ever an unliquidated man. It may be a comfort to him in his painful situation to reflect that when he filed his statement of insolvency— and paid the'fyes thereon—he unconsciously enrolled himself in the " noble army of mar tyrs " to colonial legislation. Mr O'Meagher pointed out that there was no provision under the Act for a statutory deed of release. The Judge stated that a deed of release might be executed independently of the pre sent Act. Mr O'Meagher : But in that case it ■would require the signatures of all the credi tors. What will be the position under the present Act? , ... His Honor : I may say that I believe that six months hence nine out of every ten insol vents will be in a state of liquidation for the term of their natural life. A creditor could put a debtor's estate in liquidation and leave him there. Mr O'Meagher : Supposing a man files and can't get his creditors together, will not his estate remain like Mahomet's coffin—sus pended between heaven and earth. His Honor : Not exactly ; it will remain vested in the Clerk of the Court. Mr O'Meagher : Then 1 should be glad if the clerk would remember me in his will. His Honor: That is entirely a matter of private arrangement between yourself and Mr Filleul. After some further discussion, His Honor Baid that there was no means under the Act of revesting the property in the debtor. Mr Hislop suggested that the trust so far aa the Registrar was concerned would deter mine. His Honor was not of that opinion. Mr O'Meagher put the case of a large sum of money being left to a debtor, under certain supposed circumstances; and asked if the Court could not order its distribution among the creditors. His Honor said that under the Act the liquidation of a debtor's estate did not com mence until after the passing of a liquidation resolution. It was possible that under ex treme circumstances a Court of Equity would interfere; but the relief given would be wholly dehors to the Act and regulations. Mr Mirams sugested that if only one cre ditor proved, the trustee, if he had sufficient funds in hand, would have td satisfy his claim up to 208 inthe£, and that one creditor attending alone might resolve that the estate should not be wound up. His Honor said that when Mr Hislop took his seat as a member of the Legislature, pos sibly not on the present occasion, but after a fresh election, he would probably endeavour to amend the Act. After some further discussion, in the course fh 1 r a^m6r raised the question of the liquidation I~joint and separate estates in partnership bS&Kruptcies, and Mr O'Meagher that of the power of a creditor, representing Himself and several other creditors as a trustee,

to elect himself trustee of the estate and ol'ow himself what costs he pleased, and also the point as to payment of debtors' solicitors' costs.

His Honor referred to clause 18 of the Act, which runs as follows: — " Where a liquidation resolution has been filed in a District Court, the (right of appeal shall be to the Supreme Court, and no further ; and where the Hqui-, dation resolution has been filed in the Supreme Court, there shall be a right of appeal to the Court of Appeal of New Zealand, and no further. All appeals shall lie subject to such provisions as may be, prescribed respecting notice of appeal, deposit, or other security, procedure, and evidence." He said the question may perhaps be raised whether the legislators of New Zealand, in their praise worthy desire to secure to the colony a monopoly of legal proceedings, have not somewhat exceeded the powers conferred upon them by the Constitution Act. Within the colony no tribunal has power to review the decisions of the Court of Appeal; the words just cited, therefore, must be taken to forbid 'an appeal to the highest English Appellate Court. It will be something new for the Jtinslisli creditors of a New Zealand estate to find that they must conten{^them selves with the purely colonial law and justice contemplated by our bankruptcy Acts. I notice in certain recent telegrams that the Canadian Legislature, having passed an Act forbidding appeals to England, received in timation of its summary disallowance. No further points being submitted for his Honor's opinion, the Court was then adjourned in the usual form.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.), Monday.

The Supreme Court criminal sittings were opened to-day. In addressing the Grand Jurors, his Honor said the half of the cases of crime were due either directly or indirectly to drink, and it therefore became a question whether drunkenness should not be more severely punished than at present, and that not only the buyer, but the seller, should be made amenable. The calendar is compara tively light at Wellington. Prank Smat, the perpetrator of the Hutt atrocity, was brought up. True bills were found of felony on three charges against him. Smat this morning attempted to escape by secreting in a, well about 150 ft. deep. He had a rope concealed about his person to aid him in getting over the gaol wall at night. The rope was made out of his shirt. When found at the bottom of the well, his head only was above the water. This day. William Nash Hills, charged with embez zling 14s, was sentenced by the Chief Justice this morning to seven years imprisonment. Several other charges against him were with drawn. It transpired that prisoner served a sentence of two years in Sydney for a similar offence. Lste last night the following telegram from Sir George Grey to Sir Julius Vogel was re ceived from Auckland: April 3. I received on the 28th ultimo a telegram from you, which I replied to on 31st ultimo.

Terrific Fire in Grahamstown.

Hins Houses Destroyed,

GBAHAMSTOWN,

(From our own Correspondent.)

This day. A terrific fi>e broke out at about three o'clock this rnornin," at the corner of Pollen and Msry-streets, known as Wilson's corner. Wheu the alarm of fire was given there was scarcely a breath of wind, otherwise the destruction of property must have been much greater. The following premises have been destroyed : — Jefferson, bookseller and stationer Ashman, tailor SfceeD, bootmaker Gribble, tobacconisb G-rey, photographer French, grocer Wilson's private dwelling house Wilson's draper's shop Congregational Church. The fire as far as can be ascertained appears to have originated in Miss Grey's (formerly Bishops) photographic gallery. It; may have bsen caused by a person looking at photos and carelessly throwing down a match. When the fire did hold it blazed with extraordinary rapidity. The photo graph gallery was at the side of and over the head of the tobacconist shop, and residence of Gribble, who was only awake ned by a crash of f.-Jling bottles and glass. Upon rushing out he discovered the house in flames. He had no time to dress nor time to dress the children. The family at Grey's had to rush out as were the Gribbles. -Their loss is very severe being wholly uninsured as far as able to ascertain at present. This was the first discovery of the fire. Gribblo spread the alarm and thn firebells ruDg. Although the Brigades used most praise-worthy expedition the flames had taken too firm a hold to be easily combatted. The police and general public worked with a will. On the north side it took Jefferson's bool ~■•. lore and stationers shop, but it was checked in a vacant allotment which intervened between it and Grigg's furniture establishment on the other side, there was no auch luck. An un broken black wooden building through which the fire blazed with intense fury creating a brilliant glare, which lighted the town from surrounding hills. Freuch's, Steen's, and Wilson's were soon blazing masse?, against which tho jets of the brigade were unavailing, and it was only by the utmost efforts that Dr Lethbrirlge's house and. several others on the west side of Pollen-street were saved. It was soon evident that the greatest danger existed in Mary-street, where there was hardly a break between the fire and St. George's church. As soon as Wilson's resi dence was in flames, it Bpread to the Congre gational Church, which emitted intense heat, in the meantime parties mounted the roof of Reid's cottage, next the Congregational Church, and energetic, brave men, amidst overwhelming heat emitted by the chapel, spread blankets and rugs, and kept them saturated. They saved the building,seconded by the strenuous exertions of the brigade, and checked the fire at this point.

The damage fell heavily on most of the sufferers.

The Congregational Church is insured for £500, and Wilson's stock in the Standard for £1000.

Later Particulars.

Supposed Origin and Insurances.

It ia now supposed that the fire originated in the centre of the photographic establish ment, where the chemicals were stored.. An inquest will be held. Wilson's stock is mostly saved. Jefferson insured his stock for £960 in the Victoria office. The house belonged to Hudson, and is insured in the South British for £100. The Congregational Church is insured in the South British for £200. Reid's stock is secured in the Norwich Union tor £250. The building is saved, but is much damaged. Miss Grey's gallery belonged to Mr Veitch, and is insured for £50 in the Victoria.

Steen, Ashman, Gribble, and McVey's residences, which were pulled down to pre vent the spread of the fire, are all uninsured. Dr Fox sustained a serious injury by falling off his house, while preventing it catching fire.

(From a Correspondent.) Wilson's stock which was insured in the Standard for £1000 is all saved, and very ittle damaged. « A compositor of the Advertiser, who was on the spot amongst the first, saw a very ill looking walk fellow away from the fire.

The chairman in hia opening spnech referred to Mr Reid's labours in New Zealand wlioao praise was In all the churches. Th". office bearers could ill afford to 1030 such a man, and Mr Reid would carry away with him their heartfelt esteem and att'ections ', and they prayed that Mr and Mrs Reid might be er- inently useful and happy in the sphere to which Ood hail appointed tlieitl. Mr J. L. Wilson, next addressed the Dueling, and felt he nottld say a great deal in fftveur of their pnstor, but must refrain ftbtn dtliog So.
