Taylor, Or. B. Owkn, Auditors. The Chairman said:—Before formally moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, which have just been read, it devolves upon me very shortly to remark on the results they embody—results which I feel sure must he as gratifying to you as they are to the Board of Directors. During the half-year just past, which embraces the most stagnant portion of the year, banking profits generally have been adversely affected by the continued plethora of money and consequent low rates, but the large measure oi support which the Bank enjoys enables us to-day to meet you with, a report which is the best evidence of the continued success of our operations. Glancing at the figures in the balance sheet, the note circulation remains practically the same as in previous statement; bills pay able are increased £176,000.- In ordinary course this account at this period of tbe year should be considerably lower,—its present condition is wholly due to operations on Government account. Deposits and other liabilities show a decrease of £360,000, also due to fluctuations in public accounts, the private deposits being some what in excess of those of last half-year. The coin and equivalents are considerably reduced, but the advances are' propor tionately increased, showing that to that extent the resources of the Bank are more actively employed than at the last balance .period ; but this greater activity does not sensibly affect the profits now to be dealt with,—the benefit will be ex ?erienced daring the half-year now current, 'he balance of profit and loss is about the same as in last statement, which, consider ing the circumstances to which I have Sreviously alluded, will, I trust, be consi eredamplysatisfactory. We see no reason to anticipate a worse result in the future. Commerce is gradually returning to its wonted activity local industries are spring ing up around us; a speci ally favourable season promises exceptionally good results to the agricultural and pastoral interests, and the marked attention now drawn tothis colony as a held for capital and 'skilled labour points to the probability of our largely benefitting fromthe migration of the better class of English farmers, who, we are led to believe, will in large numbers seek a home in these colonies. I have much plea sure in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet.

Mr J. C. Firth :—ln seconding the adop tion ofthe report and balance-sheet, I find that there is really nothing—or, at least, hardly anything—left for me to say. The short" speech made hy the Chairman embraces, nearly every point—in fact, I may say, every point—of interest to us, the shareholders of this institution. Money, of course, is cheap and plentiful, and under such circumstances, bankers are not able to present such highly favourable reports in the shape of dividend as they could under other circumstances. I recognise, and no doubt others will also, that cheap money, though not always ad vantageous to bankers, is still the best for the country by leading to the development of new industries and the encouragement of enterprise, and consequently will tend ultimately to strengthen the position of an institution like this. I think we may con gratulate ourselves upon the favourable prospects of this colony. We have had a genial and beneficent season, fair and satisfactory rates are being obtained for our great staple products wool and grain—and there is besides a notable increase in our yield of gold—all of these circumstances being highly favourable to the continued prosperity of thjs and similar undertakings, and ofthe community generally. With these remarks, I have much pleasure inseconding the adoption of the report and balance-sheet.

The motion was then put and carried nem con.

Questions having been invited and none tlßing forthcoming, tbe meeting proceeded to the election of directors and auditors.

The Hon. F. Whitaker and Dr. Camp bell were the retiring directors, and as there were no other candidates for the position, they were declared re-elected. Upon the motion of Mr A. K. Taylor, seconded by Mr F. Battley, Messrs G, P. Pierce and Benjamin Tonks were elected auditors for the ensuing year.

The Rev. S. T. Baker : I have great plea* sure in proposing a cordial vote of thanks to the directors, general manager, and the officers of tho bank. lam sure that in view of tbe favourable report given us, and after tbe remarks which have already been made upon it, I need say no more than this,—in which the shareholders, will fully bear me out—that the state of the Bank is very satisfactory.

Mr Abraham Boardman : It gives me very much pleasure to second the proposition. lam sure that it requires no words from me nor any oratorical effort to enforce it. The best evidence in its favour is the successful opera tions of the Bank during tha last term. The motion was then put and carried. The Chairman : On behalf of tbe direc tors and for myself, I thank you for the vote which has just been passed. I might, while I am on my feet, say that I feel now as I have had the pleasure of feeling on nearly every former occasion of this kind, that so far we have succeeded in giving satisfaction to the shareholders in the Bank, it has been the endeavour of your directors to promote its interests to the best ot their ability, and I think I may say tbat they see the way now before them as clearly as they have at any other period of the Bank's existence. The shareholders may rely upon continued exertions on the part of the directors to advance the interests of the institution.

Mr D. L. Murdoch: I have much pleasure, on behalf of the staff, in returning you their thanks for the sincere vote which you have just passed, and I can only renew the pledges that I have so often given, viz., that no effort will be wanting ou their part to secure the continued success of the institution and to produce results at least as good as those that have been put before you to-day. The scroll minutes were then read, and the meeting dissolved.

SUPREME COURT.-This day.

IN BANCO.

(Before His Honor Mr Justice Gillies.)

F. A. Whitikbr v. Rich and Another.— Argument on demurrer. — Mr F. Whitaker (Attorney-General) appeared in support of tho demurrer, and Mr E. Hoaketh in support of the plea.—The action'was brought to recover tho amount of an award made by a tribunal of arbi trators, who had voluntarily referred somo differences which they had had with respect to certain land dealings in wluoh they were asso ciated together. It seems that Messrs F. A. Whitaker (M.H.K. for Waipa), Rich and Campbell wore concerned in the ac quisition of a traot of native land, and they entered into an arrangement whereby they should work together, and share equally tho joint purchase. If any dispute arose as to tbo equality of the division, it was provided that ho who was found to have a quantity In exoess should pay for the extra portion to the others at the rate of £1 per aore. Differences did arise, and as the parties were unable to arrive at an amloable settlement of them, they wero referred to the arbitrament of Meßsrs Buddie and hheenan, and then, after Mr E. Hesketh had been appointed umpire, they made an award of £1,939.—The award had not proved satisfactory to the defendants, and hence the present pro ceedings—The defendants set up two pleas, tho first being a general denial of the declaration, and the second alleging that all parties had agreed to purohase jointly, but in their respec tive names and each at his own expense.— After the learned counsel (had been heard, His Honor allowed the demurrer with costs, leavo being granted the defendants to amend their plea within 11 days. Long v. Vkrnhr.—Motion for decree.—Mr E. Hesketh, for the plaintiff, made the motion, while Mr James Rusßell, for the defendant, opposed It,—His Honor said that ho would take time to consider the matter.

KKAN AND OTHKKS V, IIALDY AND ANOTHKB, motion for decree.—Mr Jamas Kussell for the plaintiffs, and Mr Alexander for the defendants. —The decree was made as prayed, the defen dants not objeoting. This was all the nusinoss.

POLICE COURT -This day.

(Before J. E. Maodonald, Esq... 8.M.)

A Poodle.—William Waite, a young man, aged 19. was charged with larceny of a poodle terrier, value £10, the property of Watson Brad shaw, on the 13th inst.—Prisoner pleaded not guilty; it was quite a mistake. — Sergeant Gamble was not prepared to go on with the case In the abßence ot several witnesses.—We learn that some curious disclosures will be made iv respect of this poodle, which was a Bpecial favourite with a lady. The case was remanded until * rlday, and prisoner admitted to ball in two sureties of £10 each. Defendant's own recogninances were inadmissible, he being under age. Woman's Ton_u_—Mary Maria Molntosh was charged with using obscene language In Lome-street, within the hearing of persons passing, on the 15th instant.— Dofendant denied the charge. — Sergeant Gamble utatod the circumstances, and called evidence- Matilda Pi-key deposed that she was a noar neighbour of defendant; Mrs Mcintosh insulted her, called her filthy names, and said she was far too intimate with Mcintosh, (words put in evidence).—Ellen Austin, a married woman, also gave evidence as to the Irrepressible state of Mrs Molntosh, who was as furious as a bear; heard the language.—Sergeant Henry Martin was in the street at the time, and hearing agreatnolse, and over all the voice of a woman, ho wont to the spot; the language used was of a base descrip tion ; the woman's husband was ohastising defen dant for her wilful mlseonduot.—Defendant: why didn't you get a respectable witness. Instead ot these.—Sergeant Martin: I could have got half the street.—-lis Worship characterised the language as extremely bad, and ordered a fine of 20s and costs, or 48 hours, THE WADE CASES. Charge of Pkbjurt.—William Morton sur rendered his ball, and appeared in answer to a charge of having oommltted wilful and corrupt perjury In his evidence as a witness in the Wade smuggling o»seB against Richard Polkinghorne and Adam* Emrlle.—Mr Tyler appeared in de fenoe.—Mr Williamson, Crown Solloitor, caUed Mr Henry Parker, who deposed that he was an officer of Customs, and produced certain books'; he knew Polkinghorne and Adam; never knew that Adam had been chased by a Revenue boat; the men did not tell him that they had ever been engaged In smuggling transactions.—His Wor ship Bald he could accept that statement; he should hardly think such an admission wonld be made; reoelved some information from a young man named Hunt; had been fined for smuggling. —Cross-examined by Mr Tyler.—John Wilkin son, store-keeper at the Wade, deposed that he was in business there in March last; produoed hia day-book.—Mr Tyler objected to the übb of thla book.—Mr Williamson said it was to Bhow the date of certain transactions.—His Worship said it was simply to refresh witness's memory, and might be admitted, but what was the tran saction i—Witness continued: he supplied Adam with goods several times in March last. Adam procured the goods, but they were for Polking horne. Goods supplied on 18th March, were bran and mutton; entered to Polklnghorna'a account.—Cross-examined by Mr Tyler: He supplied goods all the time : did not remember Adam getting a pound of tobacco; found, on re ferring.that Adam got tobacco on the 4th March; Adam generally calledonbis way to the post-office —To His Worship: He had not been talked to about the goods on the 18tb, nor their bearing upon the present enquiry; the books had been tied up ever since: he gave up keeping the store on the Ist of July; he oouln not distinctly re member what sort of a night it was when he went from hla store to the wharf for the bran; he thought it was a oalm night.—Mr Williamson was about to put a question.but Mr Tyler objec ted.—Mr Williamson said he was simply desir ous of eliciting the truth; he was not Crown Prosecutor, as inferred, bnt Crown solicitor.— His Worship suggested that in such case he might be a partisan.—Richard Henry Polking horne, farmer, residing at the Wade, de posed that he knew the accused, Wm. Morton, did not see him on the Wade bridge in January last, nor at any time; never had any conversa tion with him abont the purchase of grog; never paid £'5 to Adam for grog in witness's presence ; his honse was about half a chain from the Wade river; he remembered seeing a boat going down the oreek; he was sitting on his door Btop at the time, smoking his pipe; hia wife was near him ; Adam H'mrile was lodging with him, but he was not in when the boat passed; it was witness's boat; Adam returned in about ten minutes with 12.1bs mutton, and a quantity of bran. When Adam oame baok, witness was in the orchard; heard a boat in-the distance; and on Adam's landing, he and Adam hunted round the banks of the river to see if the boat had been planted for the purpose of robbing his orohard, it having been ole-red of fralt on several occa sions ; saw a fire break out in Fisherman's Bay; rowed in that direotion.thinking that his fascines were on fire; met a boat at the turn where Fisherman's creek mingles with the Wade river; Morton and another man, a stran ger, were In the boat. (Witness described tbe dress of man and other particulars); witness did not speak to the men in the other boat: Morton called " Adam, is that your Adam said "Yes," Morton eaid, "Where be goinT Adam repUed, "To see who has set fire to the fascines." The fire abated and he and Adam returned, and when opposite the landing, Adam said to Mor ton, " That's something to keen one's eyes and mouth shut. That will do Billy." Morton replied; "Don't know what you mean." Adam said. "You know we'l enough what I mean ;" Morton said, with ah oatb, "It will take a 'good man to, shut your mouth and black your ejes." Adam was a black man ; he did not say, nor did Adam,we must have the balanoe ot the money for the grog, if not they might look out. If Morton swore that suoh was said, he had sworn falsely; had no conversation with hira about grog. To Mr Tyler: It was be tween 9 and 10 at night when he heard the boat going down the river; did not see tha boat; card the men pulling; he should think the boat was about a hundred yards from his house; the tide was near high water; he looked but saw no boat; it was too dark; be was pulli-g with the stream. Met the accused at the junction of the river and the creek. The boat in which the men were was 12 feet long; there were two jars and two cases in tbe boat; he was positive that no conservation, suoh as Morton stated In his evi dence, ever took place; he nevor was engaged in smuggling ; never was in partnership with Adam in smuggling; wonld swear he never smuggled; never got any jars from Maurice Kelly; he denied what Frost said that he saw the Kelly s hand tbo jars to him; had no quarrel with James Frost, nor with Morton, nor the Kellys; oonld not tell why they aU had sworn against him; believed that it was because they had an idea that he had written an anony mous letter to Mr Superintendent Thomson; had bis suspicions about the fire -when he saw the boat; had suspicion before Constable Mia? called upon him in respect of the letter.—Mr Tyler asked that the jars referred to by the last witness might be produced.—They were brought into Court.—Witness was recalled and questioned by His Worship. Adam had been a providore on the Annie Milbank before coming to bis house; he and Adam had a contract to gether some time-ago; never bought any jars ot Maurice Kelly; his suspicions arose in con sequence of seeing tho stuff in the boat; and then his mind immediately thought of Kelly's fire on the 18th July; and the affair on the river 18th March, 1881.—To Mr Williamson there was a good deal of talk about Kelly's fire in the district. (Left sitting.)

DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

(Before Hia Honor Judge Macdonald.)

Cock v. Smith.— Mr Laishley for plain tiff, and Mr Williamson for defendant—ln this case, particulars of which have already appeared, His Honor gave judgment in favour of plaintiff for £50, and'costs£6l4s.— His Honor, in giving judgment in this action, which was for detaining plaintiff's furniture, said, during the temporary absence of the plaintiff, his wife first dis posed of part of his goods in detail, and then made a final clearance to defendant for a sum admitted to be under £10, The house appeared to be com fortably furnished, except as to the wife, and the only question at issue was the par ticulars of the goods claimed and their value, and on both points the evidence was unsatisfactory, Defendant'stheorythat the. bulk of plaintiff sproperty had been pawned by the wife was not .supported by evidence, while plaintiff says the things he left in the house cost more than £200. Had the action been brought sooner it would have been better; as it is, His Honor must find for the plaintiff £50 to be abated by the value of such of the goods as may be returned in-seven days in tbe same good order, the several values being taken as sworn to in Mrs Cock's evidence. i'- ........

OHINEMUTU, this day, VACCINATION OF NATIVES.

The natives complain that not more than half of them have been vaccinated. A doctor had been up once from Tauranga and promised to return in a week; the natives accordingly collected from the surrounding county, but the doctor did not put in an appearance. Except in odd instances the natives along this coast appear to know little about Te Whiti. The tourist season has now fairly set In. Weather fine.

WELLINGTON, this day. VOLCANIC ERUPTION AT NELSON.

With regard to the alleged volcanic erup tion near Nelson, Dr. Hector is of opinion that the fissures may probably be accounted for by a landslip. There is, he says, a quantity of bituminous chalk and iron pyrites in the locality, which have become decomposed, and he thinks the combustible gases generated have taken fire. Similar occurrences have taken place in New South Wnlos.

THE ARTILLERY AND COLONEL

READER.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.

AN elderly, respectable-looking man, whose name, we are informed, is Mitchell, had an almost miraculous escape from drowning between eight and nine o'clock this morn ing. Mr Macdonald, the dock-keeper, says that at the time above-mentioned he was engaged in the yard, and on looking to wards the gate nearest Queen-street Baw an unusual commotion, a large crowd having gathered. Running in that direction he saw a man floundering in the water ap parently much exhausted, having, he was informed, already sunk twice. Another man had iumped into a dingy which was lying alongside of tho dock and cast her adrift with the obiect ot going to the drowning man's assistance. One thing had been overlooked, however—there were no oars in the boat, and the occupant having no means of propelling her in the right direction found the craft gradually drifting farther out from the wall. Mr Macdonald took in the situation at a glance. It was clear that if the man was not assisted im mediately he must certainly drown. He therefore jumped into the water just as Mitchell sank for he third time, and diving underneath brought him to the surface within a few seconds. He had hold of the man by the shoulders, and this kept his head above water until the man in the dingy, who by thio_ time secured means of propelling his craft, had time to come up with them. A rope was handed down from the wall, and the man by that means was placed in the boat and conveyed to the waterman's steps. The usual means of restoration were resorted to under the direction of Mr Gilbert, chemist, who fortunately was near at hand, and in a very short time the man began to breathe slowly. He was then carried inside of the waterman's house, where his wet clothes were removed and substituted by dry ones. Examination shewed that Mitchell had, apparently, tumbled off the woodwork near the dock gate, while under the effect ot liquor. A nasty bruise on the side shews that he must have struck one of the piles when falling, and had been probably rendered helpless thereby. As far as we can learn, no person saw the man fall over, the crowd being attracted by the splashing and cries of the man himself. Great credit is due to the dock keeper, for there is littlo doubt had it not been for his timely aid Mit chell would have found a watery grave. This is the second person Mr Macdonald has saved from drowning, having once, while in Ireland, performed a similar laud able action, saving the lives of four boys who had been capsized in a small boat,- and were unable to swim. Mitchell awoke trom his slumbers about 2 o'clock this afternoon, and expressed pleasure at being favoured with Buch com fortable quarters. In answer to questions, he stated he was a poor old man without either relations or friends, but could not account for his presence in the watery element. He was then quite sober, and his clothes having in the mean time been dried, he was permitted to dress and go about his business;
