MESSRS. LEWIS BROS CREDITORS.

AN adjourned meeting of Lewis Bros. 1 creditors for the purpose of receiving the accountant's {Mr Garlick's) report of his interview with the manager of the National Bank was held late yesterday afternoon, Mr Edward Isaacs presiding. After the meeting had been formally opened, Mr Garlick reported that he had, in accordance ■with reaolutiori, " interviewed" the manager of the National Bank, when Mr Hean requested hiiii to put what he wanted in writing. He had done bo, but had re ceived no reply. The Chairman then handed Mr Garlick a communication which had been sent from the National Bank. The folldwing is the correspondence i— D. Heah, Esq., Manager National Bank of .New Zealand. Sir, re Lewis Bros., —In accordance with the resolution passed in above estate, I waited this morning for information re accounts, and, by instruction of the trustees, I now put in writing what is requited. Ist. The amount Lewis Bros, were indebted to the Bank at date of, their failure. 2nd. A debtor and creditor account from that point of all intromission since that date with explanation of each item—in short a proper account current. 3rd. The rate of interest, charged, and on what amount, and how made np in each , case where there is a charge. 4th. Vouchers of all charges such as legal ex penses, commission paid, refund, insurance and rent receipts, and all documents of any kiud connected with the estate. —I am, &c, (Signed) K. Gaklick. Prd Trustee Lewis Bros. Estate. Auckland, sth September, 1881. Mossirs Isaacs, Brown and Kummer, trustees of the estate Lewis Bros., care of EdWard Isaacs, JEsq. Gentlemen,—ln reply to your letter of 31st ult,, I have to state—(l) That the amount of Lewis Bros', indebtedness to the batik at date of their failure, the sth April, 1878, was £21,957 7s 4d; past due bills, £3119 3s lOd: total, £25,076 11b 2d. London bills current and past due received for collection, £3677 ss; bills for collection, £13,064 5a 8d ; bills discounted (current) not yet due, £1554 0s 2d—total, £18,295 103 lOd. (2) That the pass-book of the firm w a debtor and creditor account, and con tians a statement of all their intromissions ■with the Bank. If any of the items require explanation, the fullest information shall be willingly given on your pointing out the particular entries referred to. To ask for an explanation of each item is simply ridiculous. What further explanation can I possibly five of such entries, for instance as bills paid and credited to the account. Any further explanation mu9t be sought for in the books of the firm. (3) That the rate of interest charged was 10 per cent per annum: the current rate at the time on the daily balance of the account, and on the amount of past due bills -when debited to the account. (4) That I have had all the vouchers looked up, and they are now ready to be handed to you on application, on your signing a receipt undertaking to return him "en demand."—This is neces sary as you have not yet certified to the correctness of the account. I may here notice that this is the first application which has been made for these vouchers, although the bankruptcy occurred more than three years ago, so that apparently, no effort has been made to investigate the accounts of the Estate.—l am, etc., D. Hean, Manager.

Mr Garlick, after examining the state ment, said that the figures upon it did not correspond with the amounts which had been claimed. The bank claimed £40,009 againet the estate, and these items related to goods sold (£21,000), interest charged, bills collected, bills discounted current.— Mr Hean replied that the aggre gate amount was something like £43,000, and the balance could easily be found by deducting the debtor from the creditor side of the account. In going through the items the bank was perfectly willing to give the trustees every information. The Bank, how ever,did not appear asacreditorin the estate. —Mr Garlick insisted and Mr Ivey endorsed the opinion, that the Bank should make up the account. Mr Ivey farther said that' he would object to the winding up of the estate until he got from the trustees accounts which |he could understand,—The Chair man suggested the appointment of Mr Garlick at an extra fee, to make up the accounts. An accountant was Z necessary. — Mr Garlick de murred to this arrangement. He pre ferred that some other accountant should be employed. Mr Hean was not very polite to him when he went to the National Bank. It was very disagreeable to go there time after time.—Mr Hean retorted that Mr Gar lick had come to him in a very insolent way. On one occasion he was obliged to order him out of the room.—Mr Garlick : Mr Hean did not do that; he would have made a mistake if he did bo. After some further discussion, it was resolved to employ another accountant to wait upon the bank to get all the requisite information, so that a final dividend of the estate may be made, and the estate be duly wound up.

LATEST PARLIAMENTRY.

It is expected that the session will close in a fortnight, the bulk of tho work being dropped. TjtiE REPRESENTATION BILL.

Mr Brogden has printed and circulated among the members correspondence between his firm and the Government relative to rail way contract claims. This has been done because the Government declined to publish the correspondence. On the 9th of March last a letter was sent by Mr Oliver, in which occurs the following :—"The posi tion of the Government is that the. colony has paid your firm every just claim, and owes you nothing." This pretty decided, but I have reason to,know that the.Government have, within the last day or two, paid Mr Grogden a large sum on account of railways with ten per cent added. This, it is ex pected, will be used as lever in support of other claims.

LICENSING COURT-This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M., J. M. Clark; (the Mayor), F. L. Prime, and J. Cosgrave, Esqs. ; clerk, Mr J, B. Stoney ; Mr. Superintendent Thomson,

and Mr Pardy.) New Application. — Henry Leon applied for a license under the Act for the Surrey Hotel, Archhill, which he has carriea on under the title of the Archhill Working Men's Club.—Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for a large number of objectors, some of whose objections were curious. Mr Cooper said the house was professedly a Working Men's Club, but the way in which it was carried on was simply disgraceful, and he believed the police would bear him out in this state ment. Men, women, and children were admitted as members at a very low rate for the purpose of selling liquor.—Mr Leon, in the presence of a host of opposition, asked leave to withdraw his application for a license.—Mr Thomson having made some remarks on the subject, Mr Cooper asked for costs. —The Bench said they should recommend Mr Leon to pay coats, but they could not make an order for costs.—Appli cation withdrawn.

I Transfer.—The following transfer of licenses were granted :—John Carr King, King's Arms, Upper Pitt-street, to John Lynch; George Howard, Park Hotel, to Charles A. Martin; Henry H. Adams, Shamrock, Wellesley-street, to John Dare; George J. Panter, Queen's Hotel, Kyber Pass, to ueorge Brimblecombe. Mr Thom son said with regard to this hotel, he would inform the Bench that he had received serious complaints respecting the Sun day trading carried on at this house; one letter was from a gentleman whose name he-did not wish to mention. He had given orders that a sharp look-out should be kept upon the hotel.—Mr George, solicitor, said he knew the applicant to be a respectable person, and thought he could not be aware_ of such Sunday traffic—Mr Thomson said he would withdraw the objection with some expression of opinion from the Bench.—The transfer was granted, and Mr Brimblecombe informed that he mu9t guard against the repetition of such complaints.—James Fraaer, Globe, 'Wake field-street, to George smith ; Emma Cash, widow of the late Arthur Cash, Bricklayers Arms, Chapel-street, to John Gallagher. Auckland Hotel.—Mr Hamley ap plied for a license for the High-street bar of this hotel.—The Bench, however, after a long consideration, thought it advisable not to_ interfere in the matter, as the new Licensing Act would shortly come_ into operation, and the people's commissioners will be in a better position to deal with such application. This was all the business.

As there was no apparent disposition to discuss Judge Gillies paper on this subject, the writer was invited to speak if he thought it necessary. Judge Gillies said that the only thing he felt it needful to remark in reading the re port of the proceedings in reference to this matter, it had seemed to him that there were some gentlemen who could not dis tinguish the difference between sorghum sugar and beet sugar, or between cane sugar and grape sugar. Best sugar was a grape sugar, and sorghum was a cane sugar. Anyone who tasted both would, he should have thought, have discovered the difference. His paper, however* was simply a record of experiments, and nothing more. There was no attempt at stating whether the growth of sugar, and the production from it on a large scale, would be a success in New Zealand. He had some reason to believe that sorghum could be profitably grown in New Zealand for sugar production. The necessary experi ments with the plant could be made at a trifling expense. The Opotiki Farmers' Ulub bad taken the matter up warmly, and have purchased machinery, so as to experi ment upon a larger scale. If the experi ments proved a success, £1,000 would pro bably be sufficient for all the plant required, In answer to a question as to whether any ordinary person growing sorghum in his garden, boiling it in an ordinary pot or boiler, and expreasing the juice with a washing machine and mangle, could crys talise the sugar himself, Judge Gillies said that he did not think such a person could crystalise it. He might express the juice, but there must be a certain process resorted to before *it would crystalize. The whole expense, however, was slight. The crushing mill would coßt about £10, and there would be the cost of boiler and desiccating pap, which would not be great. For the process of crystalisation it would be necessary to add milk of lime. The syrup would then have to be placed in an evaporating pan, aud evaporated .to the crystalising conditions for which purpose it would have to be heated to 240 degrees or 250 degrees. Then a proportion -of sulphurous acid would be necessary to neutralise the milk of lime.—Mr Pond challenged the. statement that beet sugar was a grape but not a vine sugar. He sub mitted that it was identical with cane sugar, though the latter had two atoms of oxygea less.—Judge Gillies replied that he was not a practical chemist, but had derived his information from a repert drawn up in 1876 by order of Sir Julius Vogel. BEET SUGAR.—Mr J. A. Pond read a paper " On the Sugar Values of Beet-Roots grown in different parts of the Waikato." The first portion consisted of a statement of theanalysisof the various parcels received, and the mode of analysis was described, climatic effects considered, and the nature and preparation of the soil referred to.— Mr Justice Gillies opened the discussion. He said he was of opinion, and that opinion has been confirmed, that beet-root cannot be grown as a profitable sugar-producer in »ew Zealand. In France and Germany, where labour was cheap, nine per cent, would give a profit under very favourable conditions. The highest result quoted by Mr Pond is 15 per cent. But 15 per cent. < taken trom a single root, or from a few roots, could not give any reliable knowledge as to what would be the result upon a large scale, and by the ordinary process of manu facture. For five or six years he did what he could to encourage the industry in the hope that it would be profitable. It now appeared to him that there was nothing whatever to encourage the hope that the growth of beet-root for sugar-producing pur.

poses could be undertaken with suc cess as a commercial operation.—Messrs Josiah Martin and Aickin also spoke.— Mr Pond, in reply, said that it should not be fprgotten that beet could be delivered a) 16s the ton at the mill, and that reliable reports showed that the best could be manu factured with only a loss of 2 per cent, upon the result of the chemical test. The truth appeared to be that only a short time was necessary to make the manufacturing of beet sugar a most lucrative source of general industry. Besides, the residue after manufacture was aa excellent food for cattle. He believed that there was every reason to believe and to hope that the manufacture of beet-root sugar would be a most profitable industry in New Zealand.— The further discussion of tlm paper was deferred until the next meeting.

MOLUSCS AND COLKOPTERA. —Mr Cheeseman read a paper on two new molluscs from the Auckland harbour, and also a paper by Captain Broun on a new species of cleoptera, Gold in Crystals.—Some "Notes on a Pseudomorphous Form' of Gold," by Mr W. D. Campbell, F.G.S., were then read, It seems that the writer had discovered gold in a specimen of pseudomorphous crystal taken from white clay obtained from a leader in the Evening Star, Waiotahi Creek, and the paper contained a description of It. The form assumed by the gold was ap parently that of botryogen, a bi-sulpbate of iron, .which had been produced by the decomposition of pyrites. The- fact indi cated that the deposition of gold in'the dis trict had extended over a great period of time involving the changes which had beea referred to or its re-deposition in the form of casts of botryogen. "NOTKS ON EPACKIS ; MICROPHYLLA' by Mr A. T. Urqubart. This was the title of a paper. Starting with the statement that nearly all the species of flora peculiar to Australiaand New Zealand were plants bearing seeds specially adapted for dispersal by wind, the paper went on to relate the discovery, about six years ago, of three plants of epacris on the southern side of the Maunkau Larbour, which had since been recognised as the Australian plant. It now formed a dense mass, 60 yards in circumference. The opinion was hazarded that the seeds may have been cart ried over from Australia by aerial currents.

Evolution,—The Key. S. Edger, 8.A., read a paper on "Evolution, looked at from its Religious Side."—A summary of the paper will appear in our to-morrow's issue.

He also stated that the recent sale liad yielded £158 after the necessary expenses had been deducted. Donation of Animals, etc.—The fol lowing letter was received from Mr Henry Brett :— To the Council of the Acoumatisa tion Society. Gentlemen,—ln view of the prospect that the gardens at the Domain will be main tained in sumo form for the public benefit, the resolution to dispose of the birds and animals (which might be made a source of much amuameot to thousands of children who visit the Domain every year) appeared to me as peculiarly unfortunate. I there-' fore purchased at the sale nearly the whole of the Society collection (enumerated below) with the intention of offering it back aa a donation to the Society, to be main tained as an attraction to the gardens, and in the hope that it will be a modest start towards a much better zoological collection. In accordance with that intention, I have now very great pleasure in offering the col lection as a donation to the Society subject to only two conditions—namely : (1) that it shall be kept, as before, for public exhibi tion ; and (2) that it shall not be sold again. If thu Society resolve at any future time that they cau no longer maintain the birds and animals under these conditions, I ex pect that the collection shall be returned to me.—l am, &c, H, Beett. The President said that he felt in a diffi culty in regard to this matter. He could not see that in view of the limited funds of the Society they should travel outside of their strict duties of acclimatising valu able birds and economic plants. They could not afford to devote much time or money to ornamental purposes. Mr K. C. Barstow said that after going through the yearly accounts ho had found that the annual expenses of feeding the birds and animals and looking after them was £40, which was increased by other items of cost to within £10 of the entire annual gate-money, which amounted to £70. This too was irrespective of the time occupied in looking after tho gate-money. They were not called upon to acclimatise monkeys or bandicoots; and the expendi ture in maintaining such animals was there fore useless. Some difficulty had been thrown in the way of the public visiting the gardens by the muddy state in ■ which the Domain Board had allowed the roads to remain. Mr. Hobbs had much pleasure in moving that Mr Brett's generous offer be accepted with thanks, Be thought that it might be accepted for what tho donor intenddd it— viz., a nucleus of a capital zoological collec tion. The birds were serviceable for purpose of exchange while the cost of keep of the monkeys was hardly worth considera tion. The public had now been interested in the Society and their patronage might be obtained and their interest retained wore some means of attraction provided at the gardens. The engagement of a working secretary, who would be paid for results would also bo desirable. Mr T. B. Hill seconded the motion in a vigorous speech. Mr Pond pointed out that they had already resolved to give over the orna mental _parts of their operations, and in the face of it could hardly accept tho donation, Mr Burtt, in following in the same strain, characterised as impertinent the Domain Board's action in sending their ranger to ceport upon the gardens and unggest what they would do. They should pay no heed to the anonymous scribblers who were deluging the press with letters. Mr Barstow said that while] he agreed that Mr Bretts' offer was a very generous and kind one, still they must consider that its acceptance would commit them to an expenditure of about £180 in rebuilding. Mr McCallum favoured the throwing open of the gardens to the public, and the making of them ornamental.—Mr T. B, Hill said that Public feeling had been so thoroughly aroused by the action of tho Society, that were another meeting called to consider the matter,' he felt assured the meeting would be for more largely attended those the one at which the sale was resolved on. He syrongly counselled the offsring of greater attractions for the attendance of the public. At the sale a gentleman told him that were he allowed the use of the gardens for a few years ha would make suca a capifal geologi cal collection there, as to render the place highly profitable. —Mr Hobbs concurred in the opinion that the gardens with a little energy could be made not only worthy of the city, but also a handsome source of revenue,—Mr Macffar. lane said that as one who had been an active member of the Society since its for mation, he had no hesitation in declaring that had one tithe of the energy with which it started been maintained, it would not now be in reduced circumstances; and had it courted the patronage, it would not now be obliged to look upon the ornamental part of their operations as a drain upon their re sources. If they wished to retrieve their position, and to gain the public support and interest, U would only be done by making an effort to render the gardens attractive as a place of public resort and by bestirring themselves for the collec tion of subac "ptious. It would not only be an ingenious but an unnatural thing to re fuse Mr Brett's liberal offer and to decline to make their gajdens attractive. Mr Brett had gone further and offered his services to canvass for subscriptions; he himself would give his services in the same way.— After Mr Barstow and the President had again spoken, the motion was put, when Messrs Hobbs, Hill, MacKechnie and Macffarlane voted for it, and the President and Messrs Earle, Burtt, Bar.-sow and Mc- Callum against. — The President then moved, " That the thanks of this Council be tendered to Mr Brett for his extremely kind and liberal offer, and that under the circumstances it be declined " — Mr Macffarlane said that it w*a an out rageous thing that Mr Bull being such a recent arrival should on two occasions have used his positions to facilitate a departure from their old operations. — Tho Presi dent explained that he had merely used his deliberative and not his casting one. —Mr Hill endorsed Mr Macffarlane's opinion. He said that he had been asked over and over, again, " Who is this Mr Bull who is trying to break up the society ?" and until he came to that meeting he did not know who the gentleman was.—Mr Mackechnie pointed out that in this case the the accusation was not just, as the President had not nsed his casting vote. —Mr Eerie applauded the President's action, and felt that they woulp yet have occasion to thank him for it.— The vote of thanks was thon passed.— After some further discussion, Mr Mac kechnie moved, " That the proceeds of the late sale at the gardens be set apart; and applied exclusively to improve and maintain the gardens."—Mr Fond seconded this pro position, and on being put it was unani mously passed.
