SUPREME COURT.—This day.

IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

Bk Edwin Williams, a Debtor.— Application for discharge.—The debtor applied in person for, and was granted an order of discharge from bankruptcy. A. BOCKLAND V. MoMURBAY AND Others.— With regard to this matter, viz., for an application for an order directing rittc performance of a covenant in a lease, Honor delivered judgment to-day. He concluded:— " Dealing, therefore, with this will according to the recognized rules of construction to endeavour to ascertain the testator's intention from what he has said, and to give effect to tnat intention so far as he has expressed it, I think the position of matters is tolerably clear. The testator evidently had a notion in his head, pefhaps an intention, to create an estate tail male in respect of this land (inter alia), but had, in the first place, forgotten that it was under c3er of sale by himselt, and in the next place he did not know how to, and did not, legally express his notion or intention. The advice to John MeMurray, in the first instance, is absolute, carrying with it both under the Wills' Act, 1837, and under one conveyance ordinance an estate in fee simple. Is this cut down by the subsequent conditions or limitations ? The limitation that " if he {J. McM.) dies without a lawful male heir, to his brother, A.McM.,etc., "appears to me to be merely an executory devise over, in the event occur ring of John McMurray's death without a lawful male heir, and it is only in the event of that executory devise taking effect, that the further limitation, " and so in per petual succession of the next lawful male neir" is to take effect. The execu tory devise having failed through j. McM.'s deßth, leaving a male heir, the further limitation falls with it. Then the limitation, "the above properties never to be sold or mortgaged, etc.," is clearly void as against John McMurray, both as being repugnant to the estate in fee simple already conferred on him, and aa being; in restraint of alienation. Moreover, - this property was, at the very time, when this will was made, under offer of sale to the lessee by the testator himself, which ofier has now been accepted, and the limi tation rendered impossible. lam therefore of opinion that John McMurray took an estate in fee simple, that upon his death intestate, the defendant, Annie McMurray, as administratrix, took under the Real Estates Descent Act, 1874, sec. 3, and is, by virtue of that Act, the proper person to receive the price, and by section 8 to grant a valid conveyance to the plaintiff, and I decree accordingly, the costs of the defen dant Evitt, who was improperly joined, to be paid by the plaintiff, whilst the plain tiffs costs, as well as those of the defen dants, Annie McMurray and the infant, to be paid out of the estate. Land Transfer.—Motion for an order directing the District Land Registrar to register a transfer from Hamuera Te Puke to William McLaughlin, of land vested in the native.—Mr K. Heaketh appeared in support of the summons, and Mr Cotter to show cause. The latter gentleman iv open ing his argument said that the reason given by the Registrar for refusing to registrar the transfer was that it did not contain the certificate prescribed by the Native Lands Frauds Prevention Act. He then proceeded to justify this action on four grounds, viz. :—(1) That the wording of Section 4 of the Act covers such a trans action as the present; (2) that to give a different construction necessitates additional Words being imported into that section, and in connection the learned gentleman showed the result' of such a verbal im portation J (3) that in construing such section there were Acts in para materia which should be looked at, and that these would sustain the Registrar in his interpre tation of tbe words upon which he relied; (4) that in case there should remain in the mind of the Court any doubt as to the true interpretation, the Statute being a remedial one, the title and preamble might be used to enlarge the construction of the substantive section, ao as to bring the mischief complained of within tbe remedy provided. ■ The learned Counsel in arguing the first proposition, endeavoured to show that the words " title derived," necessarily signified the original derivation, and not a subsequent or more immediate one, but in this he was oVer-ruled by His Honor who also objected to the cited Acts in %ara materia as not coming under that designation.—After Mr Cotter had finished, His Jionor told Mr Heaketh that he would not trouble him to reply. He then said: —lt seems perfectly clear that the mischief intended to be remedied by . his Act was the alienation of native lands - lands held by native proprietors either under Crown Grant or under any other title the term " title," including all titles from the Crown through the Native Lands Court or by Act of the General Assembly—lands, in effeot, commonly known as native lands. So soon as they are transferred to European hands they are freed from this restriction and if bought again from a European they they must then he held by title by purchase. The making of lands held by natives as under title derived from the Crown or by Act of the general Assembly, evidently limits the operation of the Act to lands held by natives not generally bnt specially, and can only have the meaning which was contended for on the other side, viz., a title derived from the Crown by the native immediately, and not by pnrchase from a European. The word ng of the Act covers that, and toignore it would be to cast upon the disposition of the land an injurious burden, and to retard proper operations in regard to trade in land. The intention is simply to prevent the frauds upon natives which were so notorious at one time. -I am quite clear on the subject.—Mr Heaketh remarked that be had been prepared to show that this native's land ' was granted under the New Zealand Settlements Act.— An order was made stating that the applicant was entitled to have his transfer registered without any endorsement from the Registrar.

Messrs Common and Co.'s store, Gis borne, was entered by a burglar on Sunday, and the cash-box, containing £54 in cheques, and £7 in notes and cash, was taken away, On Thursday (to-riiorrow) evening the final dance of the North Shore At Home Club will take place in the Devonport Hall. Doruilt the past season the At Homes in connection with this olub have been most successful, both as regards their general attractiveness ana tne number o£ members enrolled, which have ex ceedod the expectations of the most sanguine ol the promoters, and will be missed by the young people of the bhore for Bomo time. Should the weather prove fine to-morrow evening, it la anticipated that the largest number both of members and visitors who have yet graced the At Home will be present. To prevent confusion, all -will produce at the door their tiokets of admission to the dance, which will commence at eight o'clock.

Mr Craig said that last Saturday week he was in the Company's tent, when he saw three little boxes of gold, each of which weighed about one pound. In the mine manager's report, he referred to only eight ounces of gold. Mr Fisher said Mr Peter Reid, the mine Manager underrated everything in his dealings with them. It was not his cuitom to over estimate. "When the last gold was discovered, he reported 250 ounces, and when it was weighed in the bank there were really 300 ounces. Mr Joshua Jackson said that in a report of date August 23rd it was stated that they were still going south with good gold show- i ing ahead. He asked what had become of that gold. There had been no mention of it since.

The Chairman said it was probably still showing. The mine manager was anxious to open the mine thoroughly. Mr Fi«her said the Directors had the question of increasing the shifts Ui'cder con sideration. Six months ago the Directors asked the mine manager to rise, but he said he had his interests and credit at stake, and would resign unless allowed to do the bo3t for the shareholders that he could-In his own way. The manager was trustworthy, and the Directors had thorough confidence in him.

It was agreed that ths number of of directors be increased to five. Me?srs Kirkwood, Fisher, Stewart, Shera, Craig Barber and Neil were nominated, and the first five gentleman elected. Mr Garlick was appointed auditor. It was decided that the meetings sub sequent to the next should be held ia Sep tember.

Mr Glove* suggested that copies of all telegrams sent by the mine manager from Coromandel to the Directors in Auckland, should be posted outside the Telegraph offiice at Coromandel immmediately after they were dispatched. The Chairman said he and Mr Stewart had already arranged that this should be done, an hour after the message was put in at Coromandel. A recommendation to the Directors, that the mine manager be requested to employ a stronger force was moved by Mr Jackson, but waa not pressed. The meeting then terminated.

PUTTING THOMAS IN HIS PLACE.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —I must crave a. small place for a part ing word for poor Tom, lam thankful to see he has got the shadow of honesty left by returning my shilling, but he is still appear, ing in borrowed plumes. It is said a cer tain gentleman who shall be nameless ! quotes Scripture, but that ia hardly so bad as a Burton quoting it. Mr Barton's opinion of me is of no_ consequence. I shall survive it by a very little effort, and I treat it as I should the kick from one of the family to which he belongs. Since he eoems to fond of Scripture he will find his family cognomen in the 22nd chapter and 28th verse,of Numbers. Let Mr Burton be thankful that the mercy of the Lord ex tendeth over the humblest of his creatures. —I am, &c, I beg to return you the shilling Mr Burton's conscience would not let him keep, and add One Pound to it myself, both of which please give to the Old Men's Refuge.

In his opening remarks, the Chairman con gratulated the congregation upon the completion of the handsome new gallery in the church. It had always been a necessity, for the echo in the building was formerly so great that he ex perienced considerable difficulty in making him self heard.

TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT MELBOURNE.

By the arrival of the Albion to-day we have received Sydney papers giving full particu lars of the railway accident in Melbourne! The following account is from the " Sydney Herald's " correspondent t-»

Melbourne, August 31. Melbourne has all day been in.a state of great excitement over a terrible railway dis aster. Nothing that has happened for a lbng time past nets absorbed so much atten tipm Now that full particulars are knowni it is a general wonder that the accident was not more prolific of fatal results. Tije ex press train which left Brighton for the city at 8.54 this morning consisted of nine car riages, two of which, smoking carriages, first and second class, were placed in the centre. The distance from Brighton to Melbourne is ten miles, the train, only stop ping at two stations en route. This train, which arrives in the city at a verY conveni ent hour, is always Well filled with business men and children attending school, and it was estimated that there were over 400 passengers in this morning's traiil. AftcSl* leaving Balaclava it travelled nearly 40 miles rtn hour, passing through Pranran, South Yarra, and Richmond stations, the officials of which noticed nothing wrong. Soon after leaving the latter, which is the last station before the terminus, the passen gers of the first-class smoking carriage re marked an unusual jolting, and when pass ing the Melbourne cricket ground the bumping was very violent, and the passen gers in the carriage became convinced that something serious was about to happen. One of ffhe passengers, Mr Harry Edwards, a member of the firm of Wright and Ed wards, himself a practical man, thought the axle had broken, and the occupants of the carriage endeavoured in various ways to attract the notice of the guard or the driver. No communication, however, of any kind existed, and allhoiigh alarm was, felt by the passengers throughout the train, nothing could be done, and it dashed on with undi minished speed till pasting through the gates at the Jolimont crossing, where the lines commence to curve outwards to obtain a straight run into station. There the first class Bmoking carriage, fourth of the train, got off the line and was dragged some yards on the ballast, and. parted from the fore most part of the train through the coupling chains breaking, and it fell down the south side of the embankment, which is_ at this spot about five feet high, terminating in a hollow swamp, with several inches of water. The carriage stopping dead, with the coup, lings still attached to those behind, the re mainder of the train was suddenly checked, the momentum of the fifth and sixth carri* ages causing them to shoot upwards, and then fall in the same direction. The -first carriage that had fallen was completely crushed underneath the one to which it had been coupled, and a frightful scene ensued. Everything occurred almost in an Instant, and the mass of struggling passengers in three carriages had not time to realise what had happened before they felt the shock, and they were crushed under splintered beams, torn cushions, heavy ironwork frames, and wheels. It was estimated the esoape of so many Is perfectly miraculous. The case of the accident has been ascer tained to ho the breaking of the tiro of the wheel of the smoking carriage, which caused an Irregular movement, culminating in dragging the carriago off the line. The carraee is said to be a very old one, and unfit for use, but the official reports to-mor row will probably clear up this point. The rrmainder of the carriages were brought up to a standstill without a violent shook, but the seventh and eight were also off the line. The doors being unlocked, the passongers quickly alighted, and tho malo passengers at once sought to relieve the wounded, and to exricate the occupants from their posi tion in the three wrecked carriages. Tho accident had been observed by the watch man at the Metropolitan Fire Brigade sta tion, and sho news quickly spread round the city. Several doctors left for the scene, the distance being less than half a mile from Collins-street, and gangs of men were sent fron both railway stations. From the debris three dead bodies were recovered, namely, those of the Rev H. H. Garrett, Baptist minister, of Brighton; Mr F. F. Balliere, book publisher and medical agent, Collins-street; and Mr J. G. Jamie son, law clerk, living at Brighton. An im mense crowd had collected, and assistance was rendered the wounded in getting to their homes. The bodies of the three un fortunate passengers were taken to tho morgue, where they remained for nearly an hour before they wero identified. Amongst those injured are Mr Elmslie Stephen, brother of the late Judge Steven (severely); a son of Mr Frank Stephen, solicitor j Mr A. E. Moore, surveyor; Mr Thomas Miller, solicitor; Mr W. F. Fosbery, of the Master in Equity's Offic; Mr Bruce Gaunson, of the Lands Department; Ms Hodges, bar rister ; Mr Henry Edwards, of the firm of engineers; Mr Crisp, solicitor; Mr C. H. Pigott; Mr Lucas, of the Alliance Assu rance Society; Mr Alfred Bliss, auctioneer; and there are believed to be others who left for their homes, and have not been reported. The Commissioner of Railways and a large staff of officers rendered speedy relief to the victims of tho accident, and the lino was soon cleared; but the carriages are still where they fell. Amongst the passengers in the train were a large number of young ladies attending school in town, and a painful sensation was caused by their friends till they were assured of their safety-. Not one female was injured, which fact is mainly attri batable to two out of the wrecked carriages being smoking carriages. In the train were a large number of well-known citizens, including Mr. E. S. Purkls, a bank superintendent. A few minutes after the accident an immense crowd had assembled from the Northern railway fence. All that could he seen was the train standing with a gap in the centre; but on crossing to tho other side the effects of the accident were at once visible. On the edge of .the shallow swamp was a carriage in mere matchwood, the wheels broken off, and the other iron work twisted and bent out of all shape, being only recognisable by its roof. All below was a mass of shattered timber, piled and strewn about in the wildest con tusion. Gangmen Were working in feverish haste, removing the upper portions of the sufferers, who were at once carried to the roadside, where numerous tghicles were waiting. It was found impossible to re move the rubbish constituting the bottom of the carriages, and a rope was passed over the top, which being made fast to the ironwork underneath, was pulled by a number of willing hands. The roof and portion of the sides were thus hauled away, and the search was continued. The bodies were taken out from under the debris, that of Mr Jamieson first, next the Key. Mr Garrett, and last Mr Bailliere. They were terribly bruised, and scarcely recognizable even to friends who knew them intimately. The muddy swamp all round was ploughed up, and the men engaged in the work of rescue were much impeded; but at last the welcome intelligence was made know that all the living and dead had been taken out. Hundreds of' people who reached town earlier, and had come in by later trains, hurried to the spot. All traffic was stopped at Kichmond, two miles from town, and heavily laden business trains deposited their passengers there, leaving them to walk to the city past the scene of the accident. The traffic, however, was resumed about noon. Later.

The Eev. Horatio Harry Garrett, who was killed, was 39 years. of age. He was born in London, and had only I>een in Vic toria a year. He was previously engaged in mission work in different parts of Eng land, first under a Church of England clergyman. He subsequently studied two years under Mr Spui-geon, and then took charge of a church in the poorest quarters of Shrewsbury, and afterwards at Mers tham, in Surrey, coming to this colony in July last year. He was appointed to the Bajptist Church at Brighton, where he gained the affections and esteem of his con gregation. He has left a widow and two young children, who are indifferently pro vided for. A friend who expected Him by the train, hearing of the accident, rushed to the hospital, and not finding him there telegraphed to Mrs Garrett that her hus band was safe, and the terrible truth was not known to her for severalhours. Mr F. F. Balliere carried on business in Collins street as a bookseller and medical agent. He was 45 years of age, and leaves a widow and two children. The deceased gentle man was son of a well known London pub lisher, and came out to Melbourne in 1860, in the interests of the British, subse quently starting in business. Mr J. J. Jamieson was twenty years of age, and had only been a few months in the colony. George Milner Elmsly Stephen is the most dangerously wounded survivor. He has a fractured spine, and his recovery is con sidered hopeless by the hospital surgeons. He was 52 years of age, and a son of the late Sir George Stephen, and brother to the late Judge Stephen, who died a few days ago, Many injured persons, who were immediately extricated, left for their homes, and it is impossible to night to state accurately the "number of casualties, The

most serio.tis reported are J. ..W. ftuddlo;,, draper, badly liufton right skdulderand arm; H. t). Piggott, injuries to the head and face • J> Hi Cole (of tHe firm of Dayey) seyore briiiiieS; another, Cole, rupiure of tHiiiiiUfi cles of the, thigh and bruises; E. A. Moore, surveyor, crushed arm and bruises; Alfred Bliss, auctioneer, injury to the knee ; Henry Edwards, of Messrs Wright and Edwards, severe abrasions and braises. The Latest. MELBOURNE, September 1. On visiting the scene of the accident this morning, it was seen that the debris had been entirely removed, and there remained no trace whatever of the accident. An ex. amination of the carriages adjoining those which were destroyed show that two of them had been so shattered as to be unfit for use. Fresh reports a3 to injuries sustained _by passengers who were unnoticd at the time ot the disaster continue to be received, and show the number of sufferers to have been greatly under-eatimated at first, and even now It is hot accurately known. It is esti mated that upwards of 350 people were in the train. Inquiries this morning as to the condi tion of the victims in the hospital show that Mr Stephen ia most serioualy injured. In addition to a fracture of the spine, he suf fered a great shock to the entire system. Paralysis of all the lbwer portion of the body act in last night. The other sufferers who were taken there are progressing well. Mr Stephen was standing in the . inoking carriage at the time of the accident, and was struck be tweon the shoulders by the falling roof of the carriage. The blow and pressure doubled up his head and'knees. Besides, he had to sustain all the weight of the side of the carriage and several passengers on top. Saws, axes, and other tools had to be used to extricate him and other passenger.". Mr Gaunson and others who were slightly injured as progressing favourably. Mr A. Bliss has suffered sevoroly, and apprehends a Bomewhat loDg confinement to his house, Mr Lyons, auctioneer, has suffered very greatly, and is scarcely expected to recover. Mr A. JS. Moore is reported much worse to-day and suffering much. Mr Stephen, who was badly injured, is dead. At the inquest this afternoon the coroner stated that it was not necessary to inquire into the cause of the death of the victims, which was placed beyond doubt, but he would simply take evidence respect ing the identity of tho bodies, and then adjourn for several days in order to have a full inquiry; in the interim all the evidence could be properly arranged.

COLLISION BETWEEN THE S.S. HERO AND HEGA.

A COLLISION of a serious nature took place in Sydney harbour during Monday night (August 31et) between the Union Steamship Company's Hero (s.) and the Coal Cliff Company's Herga (s.). 'I'he former was destined to Newcastle, and the latter was from Wollongong, coal-laden. It tran- Bpires that the two vessels met close to Port iJenisan, the weather being fine and clear but the night very dark. The lightai of the steamer, which proved, to be the Hero were seen a considerable time before the collision. The Herga, it is stated, was following in the usual track of vessels 2teaming up from Bradtoy's Head,and when a red light became visible ahead the Herga ported her helm.and the whistle was repea tedly sounded; and when it became ap parent to Captain Howells.of the Herga,that there was danger of a collision, the engines were Btopped and the helm put hard on, which had the effect of bringing the vestol's head round north by east. Captain How ells maintained that the Hero attempted to pass him on the wrong side and hence the collision. The Hero, steam sng slowly, hit the Herga on the port quarter, about 30 or 35 feet from the stern, breaking a boat in to, and cutting a hole about 3 feet square in the hull at the engine room. The mainmast was carried away, and, in fallin/t over the item, nearly lodged upon the chief steward, who was leaving the companion. A stre»m of water poured in through the opening to such an extent as to cause great alarm, an there was some danger of the vessel foundering witn those on board. Calls were made tor the Hero to render assistance ; and with praiseworthy alacrity that vesnel sent her boat to the assistance of the crew. The crash attracted the attention o£ other ves sels, and a boat from the Duchess of Edin burgh was also lowered to render help it necessaryr A bed was tpcedily packed into the hole in the JBerga's »ido, and a tar paulin placed on the outside checked the leakage sufficiently to enable her to steam up the harbour. The Hero sustained no material damage; ali sn fact that was apparent to those on board the Herga was the loss of the arm of the figure head, which fell down on the deck. The Hero went on her course soon after Inc accident. As the Herga came up tho har bour at full speed the water rose steadily in tho engine-room, and, to prevent her going down in deep water, she was run into shoal water alongside of Dibbs's Wharf and there filled, at about half-past eleven o'clock. She now lies with her port bulwarks visible at high water.

HARBOUR BOARD.

AN adjourned meeting of the Harbour Board was held at 2.30 p.m. today to con sider the statement of facts for arbitration between the City Council and tho Auckland Harbour Board. There wore present:— Messrs Compton (in the chair), Waddel, Isaacs, Thompson, Morrin, Owen, Me- Kenzie, Masefield. A letter was read from Messrs Kussell and Devore stating that the case had been settled and approved of by Messrs Hesketh and Richmond for the Council, and by themselves on behalf of the Board.—The Chairman movedinordertobringthematter before tbe meeting, that the seal be attached to the statement of facts.—Mr Waddei moved as an amendment that the document be read. He wished the whole matter to be settled, They wanted to know whose duty it was to keep the etrests, notwith standing that the Board might be willing, to keep them in repair.-Mr Morrin thought the question should be definitely settled. He suggested that the motion should be withdrawn, and the statement read.—Mr Isaacs said the Council hnd discovered an omission in the statement, and it was not Improbable that they might aleo find something faulty. He thought the statement Bhould be road, as it was with this object that he had moved the adjourn ment of th^previouß meeting.— The Chair man allowed hia motion to lapse, and the statement of facts for arbitration was read. A short discussion ensued, after which It was agreed, on the motion of Mr McKenzie, seconded by Mr Thompson, that this meeting adjourn till the City Council submit to the solicitors of tfce Board the question of proclaiming Quay-street and wharves West of Queen-street wharf.
