SUPREME COURT.— Yesterday.

He was generally found voting with Mr Dignan and Mr Tole, and he could gay that though he was not a Roman Catholic, and without leaning '••• to that de nomination more than any other, he would desire to see tnern receive the same fair play and justice as any other.

Mr Staines resumed. He said the con stituency would never consent to Mr Rees' resignation. Mr Hazard seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr Rees thanked the meeting, and moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried by acclamation. Three cheers having been given for Mr Rees, the meeting ended-

CRIMINAL SITTINGS. (Before His Honor, Mr Justice Gillies, and a common jury. Mr Thomas Rogers, foreman.) CHARGE OF DEFRAUDING CREDITORS. Arthur Utting, 28, described as a storekeeper, was arraigned upon an in dictment charging him under the Debtors' and Creditors' Act, 1876, with disposing of certain goods in other than the ordinary Avay of business, with intent to defraud his creditors. Prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr Brookfield appeared for the prose cution, and Mr Rees for the defence. Mr Brookfield stated that this was the first case of the kind that had been brought under the new Act of 1876. The prisoner was a store-keeper at Hokianga, and on the 6th September last, he filed a petition in bankruptcy ; and, in the previous month, prisoner came to Auckland, and obtained (on credit) a large quantity of goods from Messrs. Owen & Graham and Mr G. W. Owen, alleging that his estate was worth at least 17s in the £. He refused to make an assignment according to the request of these gentlemen, and told them that if they did not agree to his terms they would not get a half-a-crownin the £. He then went back to Hokianga, and held a sort of Dutch auction, at which the goods and property were sold on terms greatly below then value ; and his creditors had nevei been paid for the goods. Hudson Williamson, Deputy-Registrar, produced the prisoner's declaration of bankruptcy and statement of assets and liabilities. Arthur Heather, of the firm of Owen aud Graham, deposed to the sale of goods to prisoner on credit. Defendant represented that his estate was worth 17s 6d in the £. He refused to make an assignment, and said if the creditors opposed they might not get 2s 6d in the £. When threatened with a writ he left the office. Mr G. B. Owen gave corroborative evidence. Alfred Andrews deposed that he warned Utting against selling his goods on such short notice by Dutch auction. George Frederick Rees deposed that Utting persisted in selling, in spite of his protest. Mr Rees addressed the jury for the defence, and Mr Brookfield replied. His Honor having summed up, the jury retired, and brought in a verdict of "Guilty." Sentence deferred.

THIS DAY.

His Honor took his seat at 10 o'clock. ALLEDGED FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY. — THE CASE OF EDWARD SOLOMON MEYERS.

Henry Solomon Mej^ers, surrendered his bail, and appeared to answer to the following charge of attempting to defraud his creditors, on Septemper 28th by con cealing a certain portion of his property to the value of £10, and upwards, he being at the time a bankrupt, having filed a declaration of baukruptcy on the 19th July under the Debtor and Creditors Act of J1876. Mr Brookfield Crown prosecutor opened the case for tho prosecution ; Mr Hesketh appeared for the creditors in bankrupts estate, and Mr Rees instructed by Mr Devore appeared hi defence. Mr Rees on behalf of the prisoner, asked that he might be spared from taking his place in the dock, and might be permitted to take his in court.

HU So no r said he did not see why one prisoner should be treated differently from another, asjthe court know no distinction of persons. Mr Rees having urged the application, his Honor consented and Mr Meyeis occupied a chair among the. gentlemen of the legal profession. The prisoner in a firm voice, pleaded not guilty. The jury were then empannelled, after about sixteen had been challenged by defendant. Mr Charles Henry Prince, foreman.

Mr Biookfiekl stated the particulars of the charge, and called the assistant Registrar. Mr Hudson Williamson then gave evidence as to the filing the petition in bankruptcy by the defendant, and produced the docu ments in connection therewith.

Henry Patrick Gibbons, carrying on busi ness as H. P. Gibbons and Co., Wellesley street. He knew the defendant, and in July had transactions with him in the pur chase of goods, for which he received an in voice, £41 12s 4d. He discharged the amount by giving a promissory note, pay able on the sth Oct. The note was given on the 4th July, and was payable at the Union Bank. He signed the note, and gave, it to a Mr Wright, who was then travelling for Mr Meyers." He received the note back again from Mr Stichbury, on or about the sth October. He hail not since been able to find that note. He believed he had destroyed it. It was made in favour of H. S. Meyers and Co. He only knew Mi- Meyers in the affair. Previously to the note becoming due, Mr Stichbury called and said he had lent Mr Meyers £60 or £70, and Meyers had given him (Gibbons) the note in part payment, and that he was a considerable loser by the transaction. He gave another note at his (Stichbury's) request, due in the following week for the same amount in favour of Stichbury, payable at the Union Bank. He was certain he received the old note, which was met in the usual way. This was the last transaction he had with the firD\

To Mr Rees :He only saw Stichbury twice about the bills. He said he had deceived the note previous to tne bank ruptcy. He wished to deduct a small item, 11s Sd, which Mr Meyers owed to him, but Stichbury objected, as he declared that was losing more than £20. On meeting Meyers subsequently, he spoke to him,-but Meyers said it was all coming before the Police Court, and he would have nothing to ■say in the matter. Thomas Macffarlane was examined, and be ing in a very weak state, was allowed to sit; heVas the appointed trustee in the estate of the bankrupt, and had frequently, in the course of his duty, to apply to Mr Meyers for information. Defendant had access to the books while in his possession, they ware not balanced when they came into his possession. He had examifcedgtlie statements of assets and liabilities, but found no such entry as £41 12s 4d due from Gibbons and Co., grocers, but there was such an account posted ia the ledger. Defendant never iaid what had become of the promissory note referred to by the last witness. Mr Stichbury's account, 16s 4d, was placed to Stichbury's credit. This amount was not mentioned ia the statement. He paid Stichbury £24 due to him for wages. Mr Meyers &aid that was correct, but said nothing about owing Stichbury £60 or £70. There was no entry of such an amount. There was an entry of £69 entered as a receipt. He-employed Stichbury in helping to make out the statement, and paid him. Defendant handed over a number of pro missory notes, old ones, of no value. There was not one of Gibbon.-/ amongst them. He knew nothing of the £69 or Gibbons' note until the bank rupt applied for his discharge. The cheque £30 18s 4d was in payment for

Stichbury's services rendered to witness in his office, dated September 28. Cross-examined [by Mr Rees < At the examination of the bankrupt on the 10th October something, he believed, was said about the £69, but he could not trust his memory sufficiently to give a positive answer, in consequence of his recent illness. Stichbury told him that he held a note from Mr Meyers, and that he had advanced something on it ; this was about the end of October; but he could not say whether it was before or after he applied to witness for employment; he told him he could not possibly employ him under the circum stances', as it might lead to things being misconstrued. Meyers said he thought he owed more than £24 to his clerk ; the entry in red ink was made of the £41 due from Gibbons in October by Meyers. He did not ask for particulars about the £41 beiore the examination, nor did he reinemuer its being mentioned at the fexamination; he inquired about a number of items, but could remember inquiring about the £41; he mi"ht have done so, He- locked Meyers, Stichbury, and Wright up each day while they were making up the books, as he wanted to make sure of them. The pn. in pencil, opposite to Gibbon s account, was made by Wright, who said he thought there was a p.n. in connection with"it. He could not remember, but he thought he had no conversation with Meyers about the p.n. before the prosecution. He believed he had answered everything at the Police Court, and told all that he knew of the case. Whenever he asked Mr Meyers about any difficulty, his invariable answer was, "It's all right, Mr Macfi'arlane, it's all right;" and he could get no other answer from him. He hoped counsel would consider his infirmities, and not ask him any more questions than necessary. James Arthur Stitchbury was sworn, and deposed that he was clerk to Mr Meyers. He ceased at the time of the bankruptcy. Knevv Mr Gibbons, and was aware that he had business transactions with the firm, especially in the month of July—(page 49 in the journal, sale of jam to Gibbons). There was a promissory note given for £41 on that transaction and for other goods, also a balance on a previous transaction. He made out the bill for Mr Meyers. He "•ot it at the end of September, on the same day that he cashed the cheque for his salary, given by Mr Macffarlane, on the 28th. Mr Meyers asked him for the loan of £14; he lent him £14. He then gave him Gibbons' bill, and told him to take it out of that; the balance was to be given to him. The cheque for £24 war partly in payment for wages out of the estate and partly for other services. He took the bill to Mr Gibbons on the morning that it was due. It was not paid. He gave it to. Mr Gibbons for another in its place. The second note was paid through the Colonial Bank on the 15th October. He gave nearly all the proceeds to Mr Meyers at different times, paid by his own cheques on account of the bill, the balance he gave to Mr Macffarlane. The 18s was for travelling ex penses. He had often lent small sums to Mr Meyers, under £2, which were repaid. His weekly salary latterly was £3. He had been in his situation six years. He never advanced the sum of £69 to Mr Meyers, That entry does not represent a debt of £69 owing by him to Mr Meyers. He never had such a loan from him. He never heard of it before the first day of his examination. Did not -teceive the promissory note for any purpose than that which he had already stated. Mr Meyers stated that he (witness) had a loan of £69, but that statement was false. He knew nothing of it. He entered the sum by Mr Meyers' instruction, when writing up the book. The figures were in pencil, but inked over. All the entries were not in his hand-writing. He wrote according to instructions, but was not prepared to say why he was ordered here and there to leave blank lines, which were afterwards filled up. He had a bock for entering " bills receivable," and "billspayable." Gibbons' bill was not entered. He Avas told not to enter it, He made the entry in red ink in Mr Macffarlane's office ; all alterations Avere made in red ink by order of the trustee. Could not say why they were not made in the store. Mr Meyers told him to take the bill to Gibbons, and tell him that it was partly for wages, and to give him a cheque for it. He delivered the message. He was not present during the whole af Mr Meyers' examina tion. He was not called as a witness ; the first meeting of creditors was held on the Friday before he filed his declaration of insolvency. Cross-examined by Mr Rees : He heard Mr Meyers say that he had given the note in part payment ot £69 due to him; he knew it was untrue. Mr Meyers gave him the promissory _ note Fn Mr Morton Jones' store. It was in the afternoon about three o'clock. He also told him what to say to Gibbons. He knew that a falsehood was wrong, but he thought by telling Gibbons he- was doing Meyers a good turn. Might have told the same to Evans and Clarke in Waters' coffee-house. They were teasing him, and he grew angry, and might have told them' when in that mood. There were several other bills paid away, not entered, according to Mr Meyers' instructions. He never received an envelope from Mr Meyers containing money. He kept no account of his salary in the books. Walter James Hill, solicitor, having been examined in relation to the first meeting of creditors, the prosecution closed. . For theg defence, Thomas F. Parker, Daniel F. Evans, and F. Gribben were examiued with reference to statements made by Mr Stichbury as to his transactions with "Mr Meyeis. Mr Rees is now addressing the jury for the defence.

Australia v. Otago

YESTERDAY'S PLAY—(Continued. )

After lunch the Dunedin men took the wickets, elated by their first innings superiority, and with high hopes of scoring the first victory for New Zealand. The afternoon's play concluded hy the whole of the twenty-two being out for 94. Rhodes, Haskell, and Clarke made double figures; while Fawcett would probably have done so, had there been any more men to come in. The details given in the telegram are very confused and contradictory, and as they have already appeared in our contemporary we refrain from giving them again. The score, too, as telegraphed is very faulty, and although the total is given as 94, only 58 are accounted for. Part of the deficiency is accounted for by Rhodes' 14 beingjjsub stituted for the single telegraphed, and by 10 being credited to Haskell instead of a duck's-egg. This brings us up to 78. There are no ""extras " put down, which is obviously an omission, as a leg-bye is distinctly mentioned. We can hardly suppose that the large deficiency of 16 is all to be put down under this head. However, in default of any other explanation we must be content with this solution until the Dunedin papers come to hand. OTAGO.—Second Innings.

Serious Stabbing Case.

A Young- Girl Attacks her Mother with a Table Knife.

A serious case of stabbing occurred in a house off Wellesley-street, occupied by a Mrs. Dogherty, this afternoon, shortly before five o'clock. It appears that Mrs. Dogherty was chastising her daughter Elizabeth Dogherty, a girl well known to the police, for keeping company with Sarah Home, another young vagabond, when the girl Dogherty sprang at her mother, and attacked her savagely with a large table knife, with which she had been cutting bread. The point of the knife entered the woman's head, and was then turned round by the daughter, causing a very serious wound, which bled profusely. Dr. Hooper was sent for, and on his arrival dressed the wound,' which he considered would not be fatal. The girl was arrested by Constable Strathearn, and brought to the Police Station. She will be charged at the Police Court to-morrow.

WAXWORKS EXHIBITION.

The great waxworks exhibition of Messrs Gbiloni and Co. opened la«t evening.in the new buildings adjoining the Union Bank. The rooms were crowded to inconvenience, and it was almost impossible for visitors to obtain a good view of the figures. We think the proprietors have made a grave error in holding the exhi bition in such a confined space, as it is sure to be largely patronised each evening. The figures on the ground floor are all good repre sentations, and comprise Her Majesty Queen Victoria, Princess Royal, Princess Louise of Hesse, Princess Helena, the Princess of Wales, Princess Dagmar of Denmark, Duchess of Buccle"gh, Eugenic, late Empress of the French; Eugene de Montigo.lsabella 11., Queen of Spain ; Majorie Scott, Artemue Ward. Sir Walter Scott, George Peabody, Prince Bismarck, and Andrew B'isher. There is also a figure arranged with fine?■ effect, which is called "The Sleeping Beauty." On going up-stairs, the visitors enter the Chamber of Horrors. Here may be seen figures of Arthur Orton, the Claimant; Stanley and Livingstone at their meeting in Afric 1, ttie Siamese twins, Constable Walker in the act of capturing Thunderbolt, the bushranger ;iMiss Florence- Nightingale, Madame Sappe. the celebrated French Coquette ; Donna Bianca, wife of Alphonso ; and brother of Don Carlos, and others. In the centre of the room is a group of magnificent figures representing the judgment of Solomon. There is also a group of the princiual persons concerned in the Maori war, and this is made very interesting to visitors by the fact that the Maori 3 are in the various positions they were supposed to occupy when the massacre took place. This group attracted the greatest attention during the evening, and is well worth seeing. The following figures have lately been added to the exnibition|::^Mrs Elizabeth Woodcock, hung for the murder of her husband in SouthjiAustralia : William Page alias William Walker, hung foivthe murder of Mary Julia Bachan, at Mount Gainbier, South Australia, and John Joseph Sullivan, the well known Maungatapu murderer. The amusement oE the visitors was greatly enhanced by the fact that a monster galvanic battery was in constant operation during the evening. MUhe Hibernian Band, under Haadmaster Lon ergan, performed a number of popular airs during the evening. The Exhibition was fairly patronised during ro-day, when visiiors had a better oDportunity or inspecting the figures than was afforded them last evening. It will bo open again this evening until 10 o'clock.

COMMERCIAL.

Messrs B. and 11. Isaacs held a eale yesterday of the balance of the property of the Auckland >teatn Pucker. Company, when exceKCintdy xoo-1 prices were realised.
