SUPREME COURT.—YESTERDAY.

IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.) P. If. S. MEYERS (AAXKItUPT.) The bankrupt, came up for his dislharge. He was represeutedbyMr.E. K. Tyler, while Mr Hesketh appeared to oppose on behalf of the Bank of Nov/ South "Wales. Mr Tyler a>.l---d his Honor to direct that the subject of the examination should be specified Mr Heskelh said the 183 rd section of the Act empowered a creditor to examine a bankrupt ::: relation to " any matter or thing" appertaining to the estate of the con duct of the bankrupt. His Honor Mipportei? Mr Hesketh's in terpretation, nod (he Court Avould be judge of the relevancy of the examination. The trustee's report was then read, the substance of Avhich has already been pub lished. Mr Hesketh then proceeded withhis exam ination, arideiicitedthe follow! :;g answers:— He formerly st ipped payment in the year IS7O, and re-commenced business a short time (three or toiu months) afterwards. He kept his accounts by single-entry. Some of the items Lad not been posted. He had a ' capital of £2,50. to commence with. Bad been in busim f-s the Avhole of the interven- j ilia seven yea: , until the filing of the pre- j sent declaration. The trustee bad stated j That £14,000 Ar adost in two years, but there were several particulars given to the trustees v.'hicii he had not given in his report. The ...restor part ot the "lots Am occur during the past tAVO years. He did not know that his oosition would involve an application to the Court, for relief until about.'r a w -ok before he filed his deeluratioa. The books did not &h.ow bun Ins position, because they avere kept by single entry. Took stock about three years ago. Could ascertain hi- :--ark,..e: .rithstandingsomeof the it.mss n.tbi.h_g posted. The trustee said it Avas impo.---_ible to make a balance sheet in the . tato the books were in. Witness thought a balance-sheet could be made our. White-. alAvrty.- kept tally with the hank ace,a__;', altltocgh a bank account avs.o not kept. Hud recovered advances on conds in ho.m. It was not true that he. had given Messrs;. A. and 11. Isaacs transfersi a good;; as alleged Ly the trustee, j Messrs. E. ami H. Isaacs delivered certain portions of goo -, ar.d refused to deliver others. Y. ic-iic: ■ raid that the report of Mr George, t-gagjd by Mr Mac-'arlane, was erroneus. Wilnesv. had giver:.the trustee every assistance in his power, Mr 11. Wright ansi.-jfc; a. Had been pressed for payment by Barley, of KeLson, shortly before f;l_r_g'._ B'iraers had dealt largely in aocommodaaou bill:*,. The bank would not take his name, a_.d he was obliged to get other people's bills. Would ask a person for ms ;..-____, Avhich he found to be cheaper than having to pay for unjovcrdraft. Bis Honor said to fail for £26,000 in six years, afterconimencingAvith,£2,soo, shewed that accommodation bills must have been freely use.. Examination continued : Did not tell the bank these wore good trade hills. Witness Avas asked in two or three cases Avken the bills happened to be so. There was a bill in Abbot's name; it was not thought de sirable that 'P:e -.a_x.es should appear, and Air Abbot's name a.;- put in. Witness had sold the schooner Ebcnezer to Captain Norris. There Avas a credit balance in favor of Norris for £744. Cos grave ranked against the estate for £04. Mr Casgnwc came to the store and got some good— Mr CosgraA_ was to have paid cash, but did not. The goods he got were put to his credit and reduced his claim. Be received a bill, of £116 14:- (a! from Ehrenfriod, cite balance in the book Avas £2 14s. That bill had disappeared. There Avas a bill from Koberton and Co. for £43 9s 9d, and another for £35 from William Adair. Both these were paid to Mr Thomas Moby, but he could not say for what. Received a bill from Mr Chariot Burton for £127 Is lid : also a bill from H. P. Gibbons tor £41. The last he paid to Mr Stichbury, his cleric, for cash lent. He could not give particulars of the other bills, but he Avould undertake to da so by in quiry. Mr Meyers was proceeding to look over the contents of a hook with reference to the bills, when his r'onor a.ked Avhat book it Avas, -ad on examining it said that the entries were evidently a compilation after- j wards, and were of no yalue a. evidence. Mr Hesketh asked several (questions with regard to entries, when Mr Tyler objected that counsel had no right to fisli anything out of AA'itness' evidence to be used against him in subsequent pro ceedings. His Honor : if the object, of this examina tio is to shew that the debtor has been guilty of any of the misdemeanours under " the Fraudulent Debtor. Act, 1875,"then i- dealing with Irk application, I shall have to lay a.side all evidence of such fraud; be cause the debtor cant"d on his application bo punished for such fraud and afterwards be tried criminally for the crime. That Avould be punishing a man tAvice for the same offence. Mr Hesketh : The Court in dealing with the evidence may require to take that course. But that Avill not preclude the questions which may tend to slioav fraud. His Honor : 1 am aware that a bankrupt has no privilege. He cannot refuse to answer questions, because they may tend to criminate him; but as the Court is not now trying the debtor for a misdemeanour the evidence should be confined only to those matters which the Court can deal with on this application, Mr Hesketh : Then, your Honor, if such a ruling is given the creditor is deprived of his statutory right to examine the debtor, The 15.3 section gives a creditor the right to examine the debtor asto any "matter or thing" relat ing to his estate, and to his " transactions" and "conduct." The effect of such a rul ing would be to modify the creditor's right by confining him to matters which do not amount to fraud, and he would not be al lowed to ask a question which went to shew that a misdemeanour had been committed. The Act, hoAvever, does not qualify such right, the absolute right to examine being clear. His Honor : If it is desired to prosecute the debtor, then this is not- the time for it. The application can be made, but it must be on matters which cannot be dealt Avith on this occasion. Mr Hesketh : I don't make any such application at present ; that Avill depend upon the result of this examination. It Avould also be impossible to conduct the ex amination, because some questions might be allowed, but which could not be explained except by a further question; and if this latter tended to show fraud, it could not be put. lie asked the Court to pause before placing such a construction on the section, because it Avould amount to this: that if a creditor could shew that the debtor had been guilty of \-arious misdemeanors under the Act of 1375 lie should not be allowed to do this when the debtor appeared for his discharge. Be must then only shew matters which fall short of fraud, and so the Court grants discharge ro a fraudulent debtor. lie admitted thai the Act did not cast upon the Court the duty tograutan order of discharge to a debtor who had been guilty oi the misdemeanour clauses; and it would be unreasonable that if the creditor can proATc numerous cases of fraud he should not he alloAved to show it before the Court, when the debtor comes up for dis- ' charge. His Honor : I think the evidence must he confined to the points I have named, ami the criminal matters must be dealt Avith elsewhere, Mr Hesketh : Then, your Honor, it is difficult for me to put a question which does not tend to shew fraud. It seems unreasonable that a creditor may oppose and examine if lie has a Aveak case, bui i not if lie ha- a strong case of fraud. .£4,000 worth of bills were submitted to witness, Avlto .__id they were not all accom-

modation bills. He had offered to give t classified list. The Court tho_ adjourned.

THIS DAY.

jMr ilesketh resumed the examination oi I the bankrupt on the opening of the Court lat 11 a.m. to-day. Bankrupt said : I made up the account with Meyers Bros, in red ink since March, 1873. It has not been posted. I cannot say Avhy the account was not kept in the usual way. Mr Stitchbury made tha entries, and I presumed they were correct. There are one or two instances in which I can sue the entries have been made in pencil. Ido not know that the entries Avere first put in pencil. They are compiled from statements made by .'vTycrs Bros., and other sources. The entries avctc not made up from a statement sent to me by my brother. He sent mo a, memorandum, Avhich I gave to Mr Stitchbury, and I rati.sot say Avhat had become or it. There were several of the papers missing, and I sent to my brother for information, in order to make !up the aceaunt for the trustee. I tele ' graphed to my brother to knew the exact ' amount I oavc. him ; and he sent Avord that it was £l,o*Oo odd. There are means of verifying the items which have no folio j attached. Bankrupt continued : lie could i see some items struck out. Believed Mr i Stitchbury consulted Mr Winter about them. His Honor here said lie could not see aba relevancy of the examination on Messrs Myers Bros.' account. Awns, clear th..t the account had been irregularly kept, but there Ava* au end of it as far as 'its bearing on the case went. It av,-is not reasonable to expect Mr Myers to knoAv everything about an account which he had not made out himself. M" -_.«'-A+*-' nai_l i"r -__-•■ .'..,- .-a.,.,.. aT_ .vTi. _>esn.ei,__ Sc*.i_ n, v. at: o.ea-i iiom rvtc .'vers' answers already that be did know iv good deal about the account. Examination continued. He could not say Avhy the entries in. the !< dger after being carried to 1575, suddenly went back to 1874. He trusted to Mr Stitchbury as veil as to his brother's state ments. He did keep a certain control over the accounts. l\h lvey had seen the state ments. :->_r Hesketh :Mr lvey -will answer for himself. He has. I expect, scan quite enough Mr Myers :He saw a good deal too much. His Honor : I no not notice Mr Green wood's name as a creditor on the list, lie seconded the motion for the bankrupt's discharge, I observe. Mr Hesketh : There is that singularity about the seconder, and there is another about the seconder, which is that his proxy is not signed. Examination continued :Mr Greenwood Mrs a debtor to the o.tatc for £15, but there was a eontra-account for rent for r, larger sum. The contra was put down at £15, because they did not knoAv at the time what the exact amount was. He Aras not put doAvn as a creditor, but he was one in reality. The examination now turned on Mr Eaton's account. The entry by cash, p.n., £146 ISs was in Mr Stitchbury's writing. He remembered the transaction. He had to pay that amount for an accommodation \ bill, and could not ; and so credited Mr I Eaton with the amount. Be Ava.s i not right in saying it was an accom- | modation bill, as it was a trade, matter, ' but Mr Eaton did not take the goods. He had received a dividend from Mr W. Graham's account, but it was not shewn, on the books, [n reference to Mr Burnett and Levy's account he noticed that most of the entries had no folio attached. Could not say how that was. Had no doubt the items Avere correct. Occasionally people signed bills out of their establishment, and did not know Avhen they became due. That weuid explain their not always being ! entered in the bill book. He could not tell - the sources from which all the entries had ! been made. Mr H. Wright was one of his travellers. : His salary was formerly £_ per Aveek, ; latterly £6. He had been in bankrupt's ! service since Sept., 1874. Could not ; remember his being on commission, except in regard to Avines. His salary whs increased i to £6 in January this year. The items £119, i £23Ss_d, £1 14s, £. 18s, £K*s, were in j reference to him. He could nod explain them all, because he did not make out the ! account. The date Dec, 1577, was of i course a mistake for 1876". His Honor said he could see the utility ! of sticking at such trivial mistakes. The : cash book was ne-A taken, and several ! entries Avere examined upon relating to Mr Wright. Vv ituess said the entry of a debit of £11 , -"a on the 12th January, and two or three j other:- mentioned, were likely to be for j travelling expanses. These did come some- I times to as much as £08 15s. His Honor said ho thought the counsel j need not take up the time of the Court on . such matters, as those upon which he had , been examining the witness. It looked as ,' it the counsel had come upon a fishing ; excursion to pick ui> information. Mr Hesketh said such a remark by his j T Loner could only be interpreted as telling them that they ought not to come into Court to evamine a bankrupt. Me sub mitted that every item upon Avhich he had examined the bankrupt was relevant- to the granting of bis discharge. j Examination continued : When witness drew a cheque he entered it in the j cash book as change. They Aye re not expressly for accommodation bills. He did j sometimes take up a bill by paying the amount into another person's account. He did not draAV a cheque for the exact amount, because he did not wish the bank to knoAv of the transaction. His Honor : That is done CAtery day. Mr Hesketh: What, in a respectable community ? His Honor : Certainly. If a man does not want his banker to know of a certain transaction, he has a perfect right to adopt any fair means of concealing it. Without wanting accommodation of my bankers, I myself have adopted means of transactions from them. Mr Hesketh said he could not think it fair to the bankers. The examination Avas continued : A bill draAvn by witness on his uncle, Moses Cohen. This bill avus for his oavh accommodation and Mr lvey kneAV it. His uncle did not accept it as he advised them not to because the Bank had broken faith with him. The Bank refused to discount it, but fonvnrded it for collection and promised to discount it on acceptance. His Honor : I really cannot see what is the object of all this. Mr Hesketh said the object Avas to slioav that the bankrupt had deceived the bank by representing the bill to be a good bill, Avhereas it was not. He had told the bank it ayus draAvn upon a loss for damaged hops. His Honor said he could not see any deceit in the transaction at all. The j Bank made their oavh condition, which was that the bill should be accepted before they negotiated it. Mr Hesketh said he had intended to have examined the bankrupt upon a large number of other transactions and entries, bat after Lis Honor's ruling yesterday and. remarks to-day tie should proceed no further. The learned counsel then sat down. Mr Tyler examined the bankrupt with a view to explain several of the strictures contained in the report of the Trustee. Bankrupt said : lie was no accountant, and trust;.:! to others in keeping ids books, lie uoav -aw that his clerk had too much to do, and consequently had done it badly. A variety of other matters were gone J into. Some amusement was caused by the statement by Mr Hesketh, Hat in the realisation of the estate, an allotment entered as belonging to the bankrupt, had been acid for £2. 'Titer, was a splendid house upon it, >rA the jutvc'ia-ar thought lie had a great bargain, but avlicu it came to bo lou'ced into there was no title.

v . The Bank have never given me credit foi j one shilling on my name. They would ' always give me an overdraught it I could { make others responsible. Since the 16th j July I have been out of employment, and 1 from that time until the present time I f ! have always kept myself at the disposal of ' j the opposing creditor, and have given him I every facility to gain information in refe rence |rence to the estate. j At the conclusion of Mr Tyler's examir.a '>' Hon, which was very short, Mr Hesketh ' adders, ed the Court on the application for d! .charge. j After the mid-day adjournment Mr Tyler : addressed the Court in favour of the appli i cat-ion. His Honor at a quarter to three , o'clock commenced delivering his judgment, ': which occupied about half an hour. His | Honor said he did not regard the suspension ]of certificates as any punishment. The ! bankrupt came to Court for relief from the 1 obligation to pay his just debts. If he Avas' left to pay them it could not be ! considered punishment. His Honor wished : this to be distinctly understood as the general idea was that the bankrupt, as a matter of right, was entitled to his _dis- charge. He understrood no such principle. ' Another general remark he should make 1 was that whenever a bankrupt came before the Court there was a prima ' facie case against him, that he bad beer. led to ids _ position by ; misconduct of some kind, either carclef.-s ---iioss, or dishonesty. There was a prima facie case of this, but it- Avas frequently re butted, lv regard to this he certainly held '■ that the cans of disproving the prima facie | case rested on bankrupts. Coming to the particular case before him, his Honor re vieAved the career of the bankrupt in Aery H'Twere terms. He had begun business on a capital of £2.500 Avhichhc had obtained as a : profit on the purchase of his nwn bankrupt estate ; be had kept his books, it might be ■ said, en money obtained by defrauding his former creditors, in a most faulty manner, arid for three years bad. neither balauced them uorpost-d them up. He should not ■ attach so much importance to the accommodation bills were it no! that they were not entered in the boohs. According to the statement furnished by the bankrupt, in three year-, he had con. traeted liabilities to the extent of £26,000, Avhile his assets only amounted to £11,000. Out of this £11,000 between £5,000 and £0,000 was handed over to secured creditors. This left the liabilities at about ; £20,000, and assets of about £5,000. This £5,000 would realise but a very small sum. He could not but think that the bankrupt had been reckless in his transactions. The state of the books sheAved that the nniUAvho made them up did not understand book-keep ing. There aviis no possibility of anyone gain ing correct information from them. He held that any man who carried on any business i:i which he was not able to see that his books were properly kept was sure to find himself landed in difficulties. In regard to the motion agreed to i>y the creditors, he did not think it spoke avcll for the commercial morality of the I place. Such a resolution was simply 1 offering a premium to reckless business trait • • suctions. He Avas tie! so much surprised at the vote Avhen he came to analyse the meeting. He noticed, that out of 9S creditors only :.:. Avere represented in person and by proxy. Of these thirty-three the three dissentients represented £5,000, while the .-'.--.•■entient thirty only represented £(.',OOO. He thought the thanks of the community were due to the opposing creditor for expos ing such a reel.Jess system of trading, even although he must rest to n certain extent under the imputation of aiding and abetting in the bankrupt's short comings. He agreed with him that the bankrupt was not entitled to his immediate discharge. He should have been better pleased not to have had the responsibility of deter mining the length of the term of sus pension, but he could no! see how he could evade it. Looking at the grave circumstances of the case, he should order the bankrupt to be discharged, Hie discharge to take eil'ect in two years from the date of the declaration of insolvency. Mr Tvlcr's costs were allowed out of the estate, but Mr Hesketh, on behalf of the ; Bank of Now South Wales did not press for costs.

A BREEZE ON THE RACE COURSE. James Loomb was charged Avith assault ing Jeremia Allan at the race-course on Saturday last, by striking and kicking him. Mr Coleman, appeared for complainant, and Mr Alexander for the defendant. Defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr Coleman stated the facts of the case. Jeremiah Allen deposed that he and Mr Klrby leased the gates at the Ellerslie Race-course on Saturday last. Witness Avas in charge of the gate at the arch when defendant came up in a cart, in which were his Avife and children, and four men. He Avas accompanied by a lady and gentleman on horseback, I demanded lis from the party for cutiance fees. Defendant pro duced a card, shewing him to be a member of the Paknranga Hunt Club. This card admitted himself and two ladies free, but Loomb claimed free admission to the Avhole party. He then offered 4s, but witness would not accept. He (wit ness) then caught the horse's head, and said they should not pass without paying the Avhole fare. Loomb sprang out of the vehicle, and struck witness on the forehead several times, knocked him doAvn, and then kicked him. Witness had not demanded more than the ordinary fare. Several men drew Loomb of£ A man named John Smith, in the employ of Mr Kirby, then rode up. In consequence of this assault, he Avas compelled to put himself under the care of Dr. Lee. He was still suffering from'the effects of the assault. By Mr Alexander : —Was sure there was a woman in the trap. Was certain that Mr Loomb did not offer him a £1 note in addition to the ticket. Did not think he struck Loomb. but Loomb did strike him. He aviis stupefied by the fall on the stones. A constable came on the ground, and Avituess requested him to take Loomb into custody. He did not do so. He told | Loomb after he knocked witness down that he wis a mean cowardly felluw. Did not use any other abusive language. When .hey rode to the gate, Loomb said the whole party were under his charge. Michael Kirby, -ci of William Kirby, deposed that his father was the lessee of the gates at the racecourse on Saturday last. When Mr L< onib came in the cart there were sacral bays and men in the cart, and a lady and gentleman on horse back accompanying him. lie said they ; shewed a ticket Arhich entitled Air:-; to tree

Did not see M' [ Loomb kick Allen. I Henry Smith was employed by Mr Kirbj 1 at the race course on Saturday. Did not . see Mr Loonih come up to the gate, bul when Avitness arrived, Loomb had got fifty yards through the gate. Witness spoke to Loomb, and he giiA'C witness (is. Alien • looked very bud, and could scarcely breathe. Loomb did" not pay for the gentleman on horseback, who had gone through the gate. _ The amount which the party were entitled to pay avm.s lis, hut without the horseman's fare it only amounted to (A, which Loomb paid. Mr Alexander addressed the Bench on the testimonA' of the Avitaesses for the com plainant, anil then proceeded to call evidence in support of defendant's ease. Thomas Clark, a ploughman, knew Mr Loomb., in whose company lie avus on Saturday. Mr Loomb, two men, mvh boys, and witness were in the trap. The gate keeper elated thai they were to pay 2s per head for each person in the trap, and 5s each for the lady and gentleman. Loomb produced his ticket, and offered to pay Gs in addition. The gatekeeper refused the amount, and caught the horse by the bridle. Loomb got down as the horse began to grow restless, and told Alien to get away from the horse's head. lie: refused, and struck Mr Loomb. A row then ensued. Mr Loomb offered a£lnote,|and said '-Take your money out of that." When Mr Loomb told Allen to get away from the horse's head he did not strike him. He pushed him very gently with his bund. The man on horseback was Mr Loom!.':, son. Wit ness assisted in separating the lay<> men Avhen they were lighting. John Gamble, settler, of Pammire, ac companied Mr Loomb to the races in his trap on Saturday last. There were also in the (rap two men and two hoys.

The ac count given hy this witness of the fight avus corroborative of that given by the hist wit ness.) When they got through the gate, Allen challenged Mr Loomb to fight. Was sure (had no person separated the men. William Gamble, a brother of die last Avitness, was in the trap at the tine :' the assault. Witness described the aha'-. • las.

Allen might have had money in one hand, but he certainly had not in the other, as he Avas holding the reins in one hand. Charles Robert-, a settler of Paknranga, Avas driving close behind Mr Loomb when the assault Avas committed He saw the assault, which he described. He (Avitness) held a member's ticket, and the occupant*, of his trap were only charged Is. This avus the defendant's case.
