O'SHEA'S ESTATE—TEN SHILLINGS IN THE £ EXPECTED.

A special meeting of creditors in the estate of James O'Sliea, took place at the Chamber of Commerce yesterday after noon. David Anderson was voted to the chair. Mr Quick, ■who was present as solicitor for the trustee, Captain Thomas, then read a report as to what had been done in the matter of liquidation up to the present time. The main feature was that the transactions between bankrupt on one part, and the Bank of New Zealand and Mr Schultze on the other, to which exception had been taken at a former mooting, had received most strict and searching investi gation ; the result being to shew that there had been nothing in f*~ "I',"'!'^i"\ a?^ mtaulerx, jjrutoi-o.ice on the part of the bank rupt towards those creditors, the transac tion proving to have been entirely bona fide, and in the ordinary course of business.

CRICKET.

As might bo expected, the recent successful stand made by the Australian cricketers against the All England Eleven, has inflamed them with a desire to test their prowess on English ground, and the rumour which has been for some time prevalent that an Australian team was likely to be got together to visit the " Old Country" daring next English season, has now taken delinit" shape, and seems in a fair way of being realised. A letter has been received by a gentleman connected with the Auckland Cricket Club, informing the Club through him that an Australian team is being already got together for the above purpose, and that the promoters of the excursion desire, probably with a view to working the men together as much as possible, to preface the run home by a tour through the colonies, including New Zea land, if sufficient inducement can be held out. The writer—Mr Jno. Cod way, a prominent cricketer of Victoria—makes no secret of the business aspect of the affair. He says it is to be a co-operative venture, each member of the team taking his share of responsibility and profit or loss, as the case may be. He mentions the two BannevmanSi Nat Thompson, I>. and E. Gregory, Garrett, and Murdock, as the probable Sydney players; Bailey, the Tasmanian, and Kendall, Slight, and Midwinter, as Jilcely to join from' Melbourne, but aa the names are only given as probable, it is not worth while to con sider the chances of such an eleven. We may depend upon it that every exertion will be made to get together as strong a team as possible. We may expect to hear of a meeting being called to discuss- the project, and ascertain what can be j done to induce ihe eleven to visit, A uckland. i

FENTON. tTXRUTH, LIKE HONESTY, IS TIE" ,JL BEST POLICY, which all upright think ing men will admit. The idea of a man like Mr. Hulme preaching that sort of " bunkum," when ho does not practice it, which I will prove to you present^-. I consider it altogether out of F iap .V^/ lT C'i tlliine tO-, touch on Personalities, which Mr. Hulme has clone, when he said "He did not say I was illegitimate." No ! he did not neither did I say he was "legitimate." I did not mention Mr. H.s name in my advertisement, neither did I say that I was the "Leviathan bausage-makei': but I did say, and still reiterate my statement, that I am the " Original Steam bausage factor in this City (not the Thames), which is the truth. As regards Mr. H. selling more Sausages in one day than I do in a week, I thmk it will require a little verifying before the public can take that in. As to having the said Large Sausage Machine at work before 1 left England Mr. H. requires a more retentive memory, as I saw it landed at the Thames from the steamer; the machine being a "second wS»i one \ T fro£ l ,MI- Hayward's Auckland Hotel, so Mr. H. informed me. I now only thmk it worth while to thank the public for their kind support, and to solicit the continu ance of the sime.

He says I am personal when I call him by name What must I call fe} m?i T rme tegitimnto P-H- d don't mean-jiflb blers). lhen he whines like a whipped. liMnd about people thinking he's not so bad an painted. I did not say he was bad. If a man is b}aek he cannot be white. I say now what I said before, that I was the first importer of steam machineiy in New Zealand for making Sausages, whicn T.B. well knows, and of course must be the original Steam Sausage Factor", and Leviathan Sausage Maker in New Zealand. The second hand machine he says lanced at the Thames must have been a good one, when it cost more than T.B.s new one. If that's the sort of slating he was going to give me. I should advise him to shut up, and let the man that set him on and gave him the information step out—l mean the party that sends his stale sausages to pt.b-lic institutions—then we will see where the cap fits.
