SUPREME COURT.—IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies). LEWIS BEOS.

Mr George, on behalf of the trustees, mado application for a certificate of complete execution of a deed of assignment in the above estate.

His Honor pointed out that the deed of execution must be attested by a solicitor. Mr George referred to 34 L. J., 136, the case of BelL

His Honor pointed out that two essential points in that case were not complied with in this case.

Mr George, after quoting from another case in " Weekly Reports," applied for an extension of tim« in order to get another power of attorney. His Honor said a fresh deed of assign ment would be necessary, subject to the original confirmation. Seeing the large number of creditors interested, he would have been glad to grant *a declaration of complete execution, but looking at the deed he could not grant the order in conformity with the Act. Tho difficulty would be increased when the question came to a consideration of assets and liabilities. The debtor might be liable to punishment for fraudulent concealment of his estate; and yet, as ho statement was made out, he would not bo liable. He was afraid he could n»t grant tho application, as the power of attorney did uot confer upon the attorney the ability and power to execute that deed, especially in regard to the private estate of tho partner who had given the power of attorney. Therefore the deed itself did not come within the provi sions of the Act; in fact, it professed to go beyond the power which was conferred upon the attorney. Application refused. Mr Hesketh, as amieus cares, pointed out that, in tho English cases, powers of attor ney were given for the express purpose of executing deeds. IN EE WILLIAM WILSON, Mr Hesketh applied for the discharge of the debtor, and there being no opposition, the order was granted. AKT HT7E V. WAIKATO S.N. AND COAL MIHIXG CO. (LIMITED.) Application for new trial. Mr Whitaker, for the applicant, moved for a new trial, on the ground that the part of the verdict which applied to contributory negligence on the part of the plain tiff was against evidence. (Ist vol. Appeal Cases, L.R. p. 754, Ragley and another v. Directors of North Western Railway Com pany). . Mr Whitaker referred to the evidence to show that a man, whether authorised by the Company or not, had called out " Tickets here;" and the night being very dark, plaintiff went in that direction, and stepped into tho hold of the barge, meeting with the accident.

His Honor said the evidence shewed that plaintiff had adopted that means of egress Instead of waiting for the ordinary landing stage. Mr Whitaker : No care or trouble was taken to warn him. He had an express invitation to step into the barge from a person apparently in authority 'to do so. There was no evidence on the part of defen dant to shew that plaintiff did not take ordinary care. His Honor : Would any reasonable man, hearing a cry of " Tickets here," have done as Mr Arthur did ?

Mr Whitaker: I would have done so, and I apprehend your honor would have done so. I recollect on one occasion your honor walked into the water. (The learned counsel went on to argue on the law of negligence, quoting L.R., vol. 22., N.S., p. 545.) His Honor said tho application was for a rule niii for a new trial in the case of Arthur v. the Waikato Steam Navigation Company, and it was moved for on the ground that there was no evidence, or not sufficient evidence of contributory negli gence on the part of the plaintiff. His Honor then gave a very lucid and exhaus tive judgment. He did not think the weight of evidence would have warranted the jury In finding that there had been no rashness on the part of plaintiff. The jury found that Mr Arthur committed rashness in getting out of the Bteamer without wait ing for the usual means of egreas, and he (the learned judge) would not say they were so clear'y wrong as to entitle the plaintiff to a new trial. He would take this course in prefer ence to granting a rule, because he did not consider it right; and according to the Eng lish practice it was not considered right to grant a rule where there was good reason to believe that upon argument it would not be made absolute. Rule refused.

The Court then rose.

AUCKLAND PRESBYTERY.

The adjourned meeting of the Auckland Presbytery was held this morning in St. Andrew's Church, Symondsr-street. Present: Rev. McNeill (Moderator), Revs. J.Maoky, T. Norrie, D. Runciiuan, R. F. Macnicol, D. Monro, J. M. Fraser, R. Somerville, and Rev. G. Brown (clerk). The Rev. Moderator opened the pro ceedings by reading a portion of the Holy Scriptures and prayer. MINUTES.—Rev. G. Brown (clerk) read the minutes ot the previous meeting, which vrere adopted. . Ret J. M. Fraseb.—A minute was read from the Hawkes' Bay Presbytery, regretting the absence of Rev. Mr Fraser, ■whose services had been so much benefit in the district. Mb Fokbzs. —A letter was read from the Presbytery of Scotland, respecting Mr Forbe» r who was desirous of labouring in connection with the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand as a student evangelist, and recommending him for his earnestness and zeal in the cause. . . Foreign Missions.—The several minis ters gave in the amounts of their church contributions, but members had not sent w. their amounts of contribution.— Ray. J. Macky intimated that ministers had shewn much coldness in the matter and the apathy displayed had caused disappoint ment He would move that something definite should be done in order to a further collection.—Mr Macnicol thought a further assessment should be made.-Eev Mr Munro read a list of the churches which had sent in their contributions -Rev. G Brown said the committee should meet and assess each church to a particular amount, and if the sum were not collected the particular church should be debited with the balance. —Rev Mr Munro expressed some dissatis faction, and under the circumstances begged to tender his resignation as convener ot the committee.-Rev. Mr Macnicol thought there was but little difficulty out Mr Brown's suggestion.—Rev. Mr Sommerville enumerated several aids such as an assistant clerk and pastoral address which necessarily increased the expenses of the Bresbytery. , THEOLOGICAL STUDENTS.-The Clerk intimated that in the absence of the Key. Mr Bruce, he would move: " That the con sideration of the filling-up of placeß by theo logical students, according to a previous motion by Mrßruee,be deferred until th« SryTin A»gn»t"-S.cconded by the Her Mr Maenicol, and earned. _ itofefi^W. ■*. Somerville moved' the motion, In lbu 01 Rev. Mr Bruce: ''That the records of 'the subordinate Courte be aooßßlly examined. —Rev. Mr

Runciman seconded. — Rev. Mr Macky thought there was scarcely any necessity for such a motion, as the examination of books was still in progress.—Rev. Mr Norrie said that the motion would seem to imply that the examination had not hitherto been attended to. It was what he had been doing all along.—Rev. R. Somerville, after some remarks, moved, "That the Presbytery resume the examination! of the records, and that Rev. Messrs Macky, Runciman, and Macoicol be appointed a committee to examine the committee's records of the charges of the Thames, Whangarei, and Onehunga."—The mover was appointed convener.—The motion was agreed to. PEOPEETY COMMITTEK. —Mr Peacock said that some time ago ho was appointed convener of Presbytery property; and although a very desirable thiug, he had never had anything to do. He wished to know what his duties were. Rev. Mr Maoky said on former occasions the con vener used to bring forward elaborate reports, but he supposed that as the former committee had done their work so well there wae little at present to do. The Moderator said therevwas a little land at the Thames that wanted looking after.— Rev. Mr Macky suggested that the Com mittee should meet, and discuss the matter.— Rev. Mr Sommerville said he would hand over to Mr Peacock all documents iv his possession, but he might inform the Pres bytery that the properties were in a satisfactory state.—lt was finally resolved that the Property Committee meet, and bring up their report at the August meeting of tho Presbytery. College Committee Report.—The College Committee report, presented by Rev John Mncky, was to the effect that they had examined Mr A. Thomson on all the sub jects prescribed for the'preliminary examin ation, and that Mr Thomson is now entered as a student of theology. The report favour ably noticed the progress of T. R. . Forbes, Jas. Bruce, D. McLennan, and M. A. Wright, students. The examination* were well sustained, and (he Committee expressed ;heir approval of tho diligence, sticcess, and marked improvement of the students. The Committee also desired the Presby tery to appoint a time for hearing Mr Wright's sermon, being the last of his exercises. The report wa9 adopted.—Rev. Mr Munro expressed his pleasure at Mr Wright's proficiency, and wo aid move that Mr Wright's sermon shoxild be now heard.— Rev. Mr Sommerville. said that the business should be finished first, and then the sermon. The remainder of tho business consisted of a matter at the Thames, touching certain members of that church, but which was more of a private than a public character. _ Mr Wright then came forward and deli vered his sermon, from Joel, eh. 2, v. 12 and 13,. Avhich was listened to with critical at tention, and was a fair exposition of the text, and delivered clearly and distinctly. This closed the meeting.

COURSING.

The Auckland Coursiug Club held its first coursing match yesterday at Papatoitoi. .Sport commenced shortly afto:- nine o'clock by beating i 1 few paddocks on thu eastern side of the station, whore Mr H. Paton's br. d. Bismarck and Mr W. H. Kissling's

f. d. Baffler were slipped to a weak hare. In v short course Bismarck led three points and killed, Baffler having got unsighted. A move was then made to the western side of the railway, and in about half-an-honr a hare was started from the middle of a paddock behind the dogs ; but making for the gully, Mr Abbot's blk. b. Flying Cloud, and Mr R. C. Greenwood's blk. b. Belle were slipped for what proved a most exciting course though a very unsatisfactory one to the owner of Flying Cloud, caused by the judge giving a "no course" as he did not (see it. ■ No one Warned the judge, and hi* decisions throughout the day were considered sound and honest. Those wh» saw it were grati fied with the speed, bottom, and clovernaas shewn by Mr Abbot's dog, A long interval ensued before another hare was found, which was taken advantage of by that genuine sportsman, Mr McLaxighlin, handing round refreshments in his own kindly and unassum ing manner to his numerous visitors. The indefatigable secretary, Mr Percival, had also taken care to provide a plentiful supply of eatables in the shape of sand wiches, and ot drinkables, such as beer and strong waters, for those who believed in such artificial aide ; and of lemonade, for those who did not. The next course was between Mr McCabe's f.b. Susan, and Mr McLaughlin's f.d. Kaiser. This was a course of fair length before the hare got to cover, Susan Bhewing a decided superi ority over the dog. She led by four lengths, making a go-by and three turns. We thon beat round towards Mr McLaughlin's house, where hares werefjmore plentiful and ran very strongly. Here Mr McLaughlin'e f. b. Flash ran a by with Mr Pcrcival'a br. d. Lord Nelson. The hare was soon un sighted in cover, but coming through, some one called out " Flash," and she ran a magnificent course, but the haro, having a very long start, was too nsany for her, and found cover. Flying Cloud and Belle were then put in the charge of the slipper. Another hare was quickly found, and the judge had the opportunity of seeing Flying Cloud's superiority te> Bello. The next dogs in the slips were Mr S. Morrin'a b. and w. d. Mark Twain, and Mr T. Byrne's br. d. Tommy. These ran a capital course. Mark Twain is a large dog, but he is very smart, and for a dog of his size wonderfully quick in turning; he gained his points at the beginning of the course, Tommy shewing up better towards the end; but the hare soon found cover. Mr P«rcival's Lord NeJson had to run a by, and was slipped five times. Two courseß were of good length, but the hare in each case had a long start, and cover was plentiful. The dog ran well, but w»s evidently out of condition. His owner informed us that the dog was hurt about a foitnight ago, and that a week since he could not rise. If he is right, more ot such work as be got yesterday will soon put him in fettle. At the end of the sport the ever present buggy gave up its whisky.. Success to the Auckland Coursing Club was drunk, and "He's a jolly good"fellow" was givenfor MrMcLaughliru Mr Henderson very ably performed the duties of judge ; the slipper being Jack Fletcher. The remaining courses will be run off on the same ground on next Tuesday week. An accident happened in the afternoon to the notorious "Falcon. Hiß rider, a youth, put him to a gap ; but. the horse was a poor fencer, and fell, dislocating his shoulder. He is effectually disqualified now from running on any course. Daring ,a, great part of thf day the sport was graced by a party of ladies, who accompanied us in a buggy. Theweather wa« fine throughout the day, and several stout gentlemen from town appeared to enjoy their puffing exer tions very much. The commiserations of one of them with tho suffering of Flying Cloud who had pricked her foot, were very amusing, and they shewed that the gigantic well-covered frame ot that well-known citi zen enclosed a warm and feeling heart. About eighty people were present, many being visitor's from town,, and. some came from the Waikato. About twenty were on horseback. The day was altogether very enjoyable, and passed off most satisfac torily.

FUNERAL OF MR J. H. MARLIN

Thh funeral of Mr J. H. Marlin, late band sergeant of the Naval Band, took plaep this afternoon, the procession starting trom the residence of deceased in Nelson-street at three o'clock. It was attended by about 50 members of the Naval Brigade, not in cluding the Band, SO private citizens, 25 members of the Hobson Company, and re presentatives of the various other volunteer eompanws. The coffin was placed on a gun camaee, drawn by the members of his Company, and preceded by the Naval Band, whieVpfcyedtbs "Dead March." The usual volrey V&a & yeA over ***■ 8J av® b?f-°xe it was filled in. We may mention that Mr

Dickanson carried out the funeral arrange ments. !• ' *'-

DISTRICT COURT.-THIS DAY.

JUDGMENT.

THEATRE ROYAL.

The dramatised version of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was repeated at the Theatre Royal last night to an average audience. The piece ran much more smooth'y than on the first representation, and all tho best points were prominently brought out. Mr Jade's Uncle Tom is a vary meritorious portraiture of a character which, in the hands of an or dinary actor, might easily degenerate into mere burlesque. His make-up, and particu larly his attitudes, are exceedingly life-like and realistic. Mr Musgrave, one of flieheet "old men" in New Zealand, made a feature of the eccentric, humorous, and generous Kentuckian and Quaker. There are two features about this piece which certainly ought to recommend it to Auckland play goers. Firstly, its tone is unobjectionable, even to tho most fastidious; and secondly, it containsaJargeelement of negro eccentricity; in fact one or two scenes, notably the cotton picking, tho nigger songs and dances —recall reminiscences of th« Georgia Minstrels. In a community where amateur " nitrgerism" is so extensively cultivated for all sorts of objects, this feature in " Undo Tom's Cabin" might reasonably have been ex pected to draw hugely.

TO-NIGHT the comedy of " Our Boarding House," which was a great success in New York, will be played. As the piece is quite now to Auckland there ought to be a large andience.
