Mr Alexander appeared on behalf of Mr Perry, an auditor, frith a petition that t'ue Court would issue an order for the winding up of this com j pany, under th« act of 3872. Ho thought Hint I the granting of the winfiiog up oi\ler would be j just and equitable, as there were several creditors whose claims are unsatisfied, and the company do not appear to have any available assets. His Honor thought the application should have been made at Grahamstowa. Mr Alexander said it would be more convenient, but it was at his Honor's discretion. His Honor granted the order, the first meeting of creditors to be held on the sth of November, in the office of Messrs Macdonald aud Miller, solicitors, Grahamstown.

ggßushell v. Henderson and Spraggon, claim, £9616s 6d. Mr Tyler for pla:ntiff. anl Mr Hei~ keth for defendants. The plaintiff, a master mariner, brought this action for the recovery of money alleged, to be due to hi a in connection with the working of defendant's vessel, the ketch Prinoe Rupert, the profits of which were to be divided, according to agreement. The defendants denied the ciainv Honvy Bushel deposed tkat he was a ioaster mariner, knew defendants, who owned a vessel called the Prince Rupert. He had the command of that vessel from January to August, 167fi. He was to have two-thirds of the gross earnings, pay men and working expenses, ex cepting harbour and light dues, of which he paid two-thirds. Did not pay Insurance. The vessel did not pay bira, and tie Rave her up to Mr Henderson with the register. Could only carry coal, as the vessel was not in a fit state to carry perishable goods. When in Lyttelton the vessel was disma'ntiod, and there were £33 due to the seamen for the '<el*y while she under went repairing. Mr Henderson allowed £30, and he paid the men off, and left the vessel. A lad was the;>. sent on board a." shipkeeper. He mi^ht have been engaged on the Kenilwortb. at £3 a week. Meanwhile, Mr lioiifiersoa said that a gentlemen from Dunedin said he could seil the vessel, when defendant asked him if he would take her down for that purpose, and he should not bo a loser. Ho consented; get a freight of timber from Mr Reid, and shipped the crew acording to Mr Henderson's letter of in structions. The letter, dated Aug. 17, was put in and n?ad, and was to the effect that plaintiff plaintiff was to sell the ketch for £';WO, and de posit, the money to the credit o£ the flvra in the Bank of New Zealaud ; but under any circum stances he was not to briug her back. Witness received several letters and telegrams from defendants, and finally sold the vessel for £000. Several very amusing; letters ware put in and read, in 'which it appeared that the utmost.good fellowship had existed between the parties. He returned to Atickland. in June of the present year, having been in defendant's employ 42 ■weeks and two days, for which ho claimed £12 a month. In addition to wages he claimed for money paid to men, also expenses, the money for which he had of a Mr Elliott or Duncdin, viz., £15. for which lie gave Mr Elliott a bill on MeasrsjHenderso!) and Spraggmu On returning to Auckland Mr Headerso'i said ho would not pay it, consequently he was sued, for it, £15, which costs him £3 3-:. Cro«s-ex:uni:iod by Mr Hesketh. This was the plaintiff's case. Pre vious to the adjournment of the Court, it was arranged that the case, Keo.ne and.Tesikinson v. Ring and Home, claim for damages, £60, should be taken to-morrow (Tuesday) morning.

A VINDICATION.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Your reporter's account of the assault case brought by me in the Police Court on Saturday, and which lie publishes under the headidg " Sneaking out of it," is unjust, and calculated to do me a serious injury if not contradicted, and I therefore trust you w rill allow me space to state the true facts of the case. On Friday last Joseph Rodericks (a Portuguese), who a few days previously threatened to have six months in the stockade forme, came on board the s. s. Go-Ahead, and without the slightest provocation struck me a blow on the head with a winch ' handle. Knowing the dangerous character of the man, I had Mm arrested, and the case came on for hearing on Saturday morning. Unfor tunately, through loss of time in hunting up one of my witnesses, the case was called a few minutes before my arrival in Court with my witnesses and solicitor, Mr Laish ley—the prisoner was discharged, and I was cast in costs. The Star, reporter's state ment thatjljwas in the precincts of the Court a few minutes before the case was called, is a pure fabrication, as Mr Laislxley can testify. I came direct from the steamer to the Court, and found the case disposed of. Mr Hesketh's statement was also incorrect,. when he remarked that I had said " that I was not going to be let in for costs." Of course, in my unfortunate absence, the prisoner had it all his own way, and could say what he pleased without fear of con tradiction. I was prepared fo put a very different complexion on the matter, which Eodericks would have knows to his cost. The man's animosity towards me is a suspicion that I was the cause of his dis charge from the steamer, a suspicion which has not the slightest foundation in fact. — lam, &c, — Meredithßouxtkee, Mate of the s.s. " Go-Ahead."

POLICE COURT,—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow Esq., Ft. M.)

DRUNKS

William McLcod, Robert Todd, Henry Kuhl, and John Edwards were charged with drunkenness. They were all fined the usual amount, except Edwards, who was remanded until the 29th. Albert Karnizkey, for being drunic and disorderly, was fined 5s and costs with the the alternative of 24 hours imprisonment. William Cook, who appeared in the dock with a cut on his cheek, was similarly charged, and on the request of Mr .Sub- Inspector Pardy was remanded for eight days, as he was suffering from delirium tremens.

A LOAFER,

William Shuter was charged with being found one night on Mr Kent's bakery premises, at Newmarket. Defendant, in answer to the charge, saici he had been hunting for a bed and could not get one, and a boy told him he could go into Mr Kent's premises. Mr Kent did not appear, but his Wor ship considered the case sufficiently proved, and inflicted a mouth's imprisonment, which he should have made six months if he had been awake instead of asleep, when found. Prisoner : I was awake, your Worsnip. (Laughter). UNCLE HEAVEY IN COURT. This well-known pawnbroker appeared in answer to a charge of having illegally neglected to enter in a book kept foi that purpose, the particulars of a pledge, namely a silver lever watch, received by him on the 11th May, from John O'Byan, of Onehtmga. , Mr Laishley, who appeared for the defence, pleaded not guilty. John O'llyan, the prosecutor, was called, and gave his evidence at considerable length He evoked much amusement by his rich brogue and quaint forms of expres sion. He pawned the watch in May. The first time he went to the shop the daughter was there, and she told him she could not take it until her father came home. me third time he went' Mr Heavey was in, and advanced him eight shillings on the watch. A girl was m the shop at the time; he supposed it was the daughter. The ticket was made out, and .Pushed tolhim- across the counter. He did not look at it, but put it in his pocket, and gave it to his wife when he got home. Me sent his wife for the watch the first time, and when she did not get it he went him self. Mr Heavey, on looking at the ticket, said he must have been very " tight wnen he wrote it (The ticket was produced, and was totally illegible.) The second time lie vent, defendant said could not find the -entry in his book. He (witness) searched, tat could not find it. Defendant told him ie should have his watch or something else •if it -were lost, and asked Mm how much it was worth. He said it cost £7, and upon ■this, the defendant began to abuse him, and called him " a liar," and other names. He gave information to the police. He was aot certain, but believed he saw his watch at Mr Heavey's. Defendant subsequently told him that he (witness) might make him as drunk as he liked, and he would never make him write like that. (Laugh tot)

By Mr Laishley : He thought it was a young girl who was in the shop where he pawned the watch. He thought she must be under thirty. His Worship : You did not " mouth her " I suppose, to test her age? (Laughter.) Witness: No; but she was pretty young. Mr Laishley said he might inform the Court that the defence was that the watch had never been left with Mr Heavey. He would admit there was no entry in the book. Sergeant Major Mason was called to give evidence, and'Mr O'Ryan caused fresh | laughter by quietly seating himself in the prisoners' dock. At this* stage of the proceedings the case was adjourned by mutual consent to Friday next JCX UXNATUBAL HUSBAND. William Guzley appeared in answer to a summons, charging him with deserting his wife, and leaving her without the means of support. . Defendant, a bushman, said he was guilty "as far as that went." He was willing to allow the old woman 5s a week. His Worship asked how long he had bten away from his wife. A person in Court said he had been away for twelve months, and had never sent his wife anything. ! His Worship said defendant must pay a fine of 40s and costs or go to prison for 14 days. Defendant : I haven't got no money. I must go to gaol. His Worship : And I shall make an order that you pay 5a per week for the support of your wife. The same young man who spoke before now_said, j " Jae can pay more than that, your Worship. He earns good wages and keeps another ■woman. I was clown at his whare, and saw him with Mrs Nicholson, who used to keep the Black Bull, and she told me that she was living with him." His Worship : That is almost enough punishment for him. The order was then made out, and defendant was removed in custody. This was all the business. j

EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS AT SAMOA.

W. J. HUNT AND THE SCHOONER

CANTERBURY,

The following is extracted from the report of Mr G. A. Woods (which appears in the "Fiji Times") presented to the creditors in tliG estate of Stewart, Cooper, and-Co., at a meeting- held at the Bank of New Zealand on Tuesday, the 18! h September, o,t Levuka. Mr Woods hud been sent to Samoa to look after the interests of the creditors in the above estate, and arrived there on the 30th August, and placed himself in comrmmica with the American gentlemen in charge of a store and merchandize of the above insolvent firm. The gentlemen referred to above declined to give up possession quietly, and expressed their determination to fight the matter "square ont." Mr Woods pre sented his credentials to the British Consul, who required time to examine the power of-Attoraey. As an unaccountable delay occurred, and he feared that the goods in the store would be made away with, he asked the American consul to demand the debt of a thousand dollars due to American citizens. This the American eionsul promptly did, and on pa3 rment being refused he attacked the property in the name of the United States, placing the seals of his Consulate upon the building, and appoint ing Messrs Martin and Harding the marshals in charge. On Mr Coubrongh, the storeman, resisting, Jhe was pushed on one side. Mr Woods statement continues : The marshals received instructions to make an inventory of the property, and while doing so they found amongst other tilings in the office desk certain documents proving the correctness of my suspicion as to the goods being made away with ; £110 in cash and goods being shown to have gone that morning through Messrs Hunt and Cou brouarh !

"At about S p.m. we received notice from the marshal that he had heard an attempt mts going to be made by Hunt and others to obtain possession of the store. This was communicated to the U. S. Consul, who proceeded to the spot at once to ascertain if there were any grounds for such a report. Mr Hetherington, the solicitor, and I, accompanied him, but finding all quiet, after stopping for some three-quarters of an hour, we returned to our residence. We had hardly been back more than an hour when we were informed that the place was sur rounded and being attacked by a body of armed men (whites and half-castes). I went off at once to the assistance of Messrs Martin and Harding ; but, being met half way by one of my own men, who reported that the place had been broken open and taken possession of by the orders of the British Consul, I returned, feeling that this was now a matter to be settled by the Consulates, and reported what had come to my knowledge to the American Consul, who decided that he would do nothing till the morning, when he would be in pos session of full particulars from Ma officers, the marshals. Hearing nothing of these gentlemen, whom we ware expecting every moment, after an hour's delay Mr Hethcr ington went off to obtain information, and in the course of hal£-an-hour a native came | running down, reporting that Messrs , Martin and Harding had been ironed and taken on board of a schooner; that when Mr Hetherington had reached the store, the mob had "treated him in the same way, j and that they were then coming to do so to himself. lat once secured the front door, and while endeavouring to persuado Mrs Hetherington, who had left the house, to return inside, the mob of some dozen whites and half-castes made their appearance, armed, and going np to the house knocked once or twice. Receiving no reply,' they broke the front door open and entered, calling loudly for me. Finding no one, and being informed by a half-caste that I was by the side of the house, they rushed round, and I stepped back with Mrs Hetherington into the native house adjoining. This they surrounded and called upon me to give myself up. Presently this demand was repeated m the "name of the Queen," whereupon I stepped forward and asked, "Who calls me in the Queen's name?" They made a rush upon me at once, saying " W*e do this by order of theßritish Consul!" They seized upon my person, and one of the ringleaders— W. J. Hunt — called out "Constables, cover him," and then "put the handcuffs on him." One Miiir (a person employed by Mr Liardet) and the other armed men then presented their firearms'at myfhead, and Hunt—levelling his pistol within a foot of my forehead—swore by his God to shoot me if I did not allow ' the constables" to iron me. I refused, demand in" their authority for the outrage, when with frightful oaths and cries of " British. Consul" and threats to shoot they closed m I PSEIZEDPUNT BYgTHE THROAT, Knocking his pistol up, and called upon the others to desist from this outrage upon an unarmed man. I demanded that if they had authority for this they should produce it, and if not, to accompany me to the Con sulate for the verbal authority which their leaders protended to have. Two of the men (Williams and Dunlop) then said that_ I should not be touched any more, and I in sisted upon going to the British Consulate ; whereupon a quarrel took place among themselves. I went off towards Mr Liardet s house with Williams and Dunlop, there meinder following with a large crowd of natives. On arrival there, the Consul /IPTiipd eivins any authority tor this, or tor EaTreft of "Messrs Harding and Hether in-ton He said that he had only given mlers for the anest of Mr Martin, and told Hunt that he would hold him to account for this on Monday. I then returned home, Seortinc Mrs Hetherington, who poor csconinj, x followed us down the street m 28 Js a?o her husband's fate and be- SvSsaomeactof violence wridbedone

i me (as was threatened) before I arrived at 3 the Consulate. I then learfit from her that t the man Hunt had pointed a pistol at her after 1 had left, and said—' Oh, Mrs : ' - Hctherington, we've £ot your husband safe.' ; Tims ended this first act of abominable ' I outrage at 2 a.m. on Sunday. S 5 The reports of Messrs f Martin and Hand- . • ing are attached for your information. j . ! On Sunday morning I wrote to theßritish ! i Consul notifying him of the forcible deten- ' I tion in irons of Messrs Harding, Martin, ! and Hetherington . OX BOARD THE SCHOONER CAN TERBURY. i ; and demanded, their immediate release, ] j I call your particular attention, gentlemen. ( 'to the character of the reply. I endea- . vouredto communicate with my unfortunate friends, but my letters were returned with a | message from the master (or so-called , special constable) " that the British Con, j sul had given orders for no communication." '. I learnt during the day that the seals of the j 3Jritish Consul had been placed upon the ; store, This, I presume, had been con- ' sidered necessary on account of the outrages committed upon those of the United States, Avhich had been ; violated in the Queen's name on the previous night. This,in one sense, was a satisfaction to me, as it prevented the men . Hunt, Foster, and Coubrough, and their friends taking away any more of the money or property belonging to the : creditors. ' " A sort of mock trial was held at the British Consulate on the Monday and Tuesday, 3rd and 4th instant, upon Messrs. Harding and Hetherington, resulting in their release from custody, Mr Martin ' being yet kept in irons on board the British schooner Canterbury. i ', "Early on Monday (3rd) I made a report ,' to the British Consul of the assault under arms made upon my residence and person '. by one W. J. Hunt and other whites, and re- j quested that the said W. J. Hunt should • ; ; be forthwith arressed by'the local authrities, j | on application by the British Consul, to bo ■ sent to Sydney for trial, in accordance with ' ( the statue for such cases made and pro- i : vftded. Tlie reply to this report and request ■ show how absolutely impossible it was for j us to procure a share of justice from the ' : British Consul. My further correspondence ' on this subject with that officer I append. " On Tuesday (4) evening, by advertise- ! { ! merit, an indignation meeting "was called in ' support of the British, and condemnation ; of the American Consul. On my arrival, ' ! which took them somewhat by surprise, I \ found the conveners to be Messrs Hunt and \ '• Co., and in the chair was one Pritcliard. ! This latter individual was the principal c cause of the recent internecine native - hostilities, and "when his treasonable letters (which caused much blood- i shed) were discovered and the \ native Government demanded of the j British Consul that he should be punished, ; that officer replied that he saw no reason \ for his punishment. He had been very £ active in his opposition towards myself , c personally, aucl had taken a leading part in i ' the mock trial on Monday. My entry into their midst disturbed an address from the 1 said chairman, in which he was trying to excite the feelings of those present, and I ■ had the pleasure of hearing myself and - friends called 'lawless desperadoes.' • Certain resolutions embodying ' The honor j of the British flag,' 'The deportation of ; Messrs Woods, Harding, Hetherington, ■

Martin and Co.,' 'The appointment of a committee of public safety,' had apparently been prepared beforehand, and, no doubt, would have been 'carried unanimously/ \ &c, &c. Unfortunately, however, for ; Messrs Hunt and Co., I had something to ; say on the matter, and consequently when \ a show of hands was called for, the resolti- ' tion was lost, although the chairman was not energetic in holding up both of his in favor of them ; and the meeting dissolved without doing anything more. I had given j them a history of J. B. M. Stewart and Co., i which they felt ashamed of, and one by one many went out, regretting that they had : lent their presence of such a proceeding.. i AMEKICAN CONSUL-3JEMA"iMJJS AN j APOLOGY. ■ The American Consul, had. in the mean- ! time, demanded from the British a full and complete apology for the .insult offered to the United States by the breaking of the ■ seals of his office, add the arrest of tho mar- : shals. He also plpc~d himseli in commuiii cation'Vitli the local authorities (the Gov- i eminent) asking for assistance ; to j which they immediately responded, plac- ' ing a hundiQ'l men ai his disposal. Of \ this force, however, he did not avail ! himself, bnt on the receipt of Mr Liar- j dot's letter declining to apologise for the ; outrage upon the United Statos reals andofiicers he notified him the cessa- j tion of all further correspondence, and hold- j ing the British Consul fully responsible not ' only for his acts but for all property ac the ; store. And now he lias referred the whole i matter to the Department of State, at ; Washington, by special messenger, Mr j Colmcsnil, per Isabella, schooner sailing on ! the 15th instant. j

'•' On the 7th instant I addressed Mr Liardet on the subject of the authority by which he had placed the seals of his Consu late upon my property and that of my employers. His answer is herewith. I also enclose copy of my reply thereto. " I have only further to add that, -al though the store has remained closed, it is apparently in charge of Messrs Hunt, Coubrough, and Forster." ANOTHER VERSION.

A letter to the Fiji " Times " from " A correspondent" gives the other side's version of the proceedings. It says that Hunt and and Mr Conbrough hold' a joint power of attorney from Mr Stewart, signed on be half of Gr. J. Smith and Co., which purports to be a more recent document than any other. Mr Woods, upon the strength of his documents, asked the British Consul to put him in possession on behalf of the creditors. Mr Hunt having previously been to the Con sulate and produced his powers of attorney, the British Consul could not see his way clear to place Mr Woods in possession, till either the holders of the power of attorney should consent or he (the Consul) should satisfy himself that the firm were declared insolvent. Mr Woods, however, with the support of the American Consul forcibly ejected Mr Coubrough and others from the premises; whereupon Mr Cou brough charged Mr Martin before the British Consul with assault and illegally being on premises in his charge. The Consul then issued a warrant for Martin's arrest, swearing in special constables for the purpose: The special constables, accompanied by Hunt and others connected Avith the firm, broke into the store of G. J. Smith and Co. and called upon Martin in the Queen's . name to surrender, but as he did not seem inclined to do so, the person in charge of the con stables entered the house, and seized him, putting him in irons, and sending him on board the Canterbury for safe keeping. Whilst Martin was being dealt with, Hard ing was found upon the premises and sent on boiird the same vessel for safe keeping by Hunt, for being illegally upon the premises. Upon going outside of the house Mr Hunt and others met Mr Hetherington and he was sent on board the Canterbury, as it was alleged Mr Hetherington threatened to shoot Hunt and others. On Monday the British Cousul thought over Harding's case and dismissed him with a caution, but in the case of Mr Hetherington the British Consul thought fit to have an inquiry. After hearing evidence which occupied two days the Consul bound Mr Hetherington over in £100 to keep the peace and to present himself when called upon. In the meantime Mr Liardet will seek the advice of Sir A. Gordon upon the matter.
