MEETING OF MARTIN SWAL LOW'S CREDITORS.

-*—* The Professor Under Examina tion.

A MEETING of the credit rs of Mrr'.ia Swallow, musician^wa'i held yesterday :f f • noon at tha olfice of the Trastee in B: v ■-• ruptcy (Mr Thos. Macffcrlane), there beiu.{ present: Mr T. M.xffatlane (chairaiaD), Mr Theo. Cooper (counsel for trus'ee), Mr H. L. Posseneskie and Mr F. Stephens (creditors). The meeting wa? called for the purpose of 'examining Me3Brs Lennox and Lwrlow, and the proccjdiDgs were therefore com. raenced with the examination of Mr Lenuox, Mr Cooper putting the questions and M^v, Macffarl?.ne t'-kiog down the answers.

Nci'°on Gordon Lennox, bookseller and ' sUtioner, of Queen-str ot, dep°sed that he wn the holder of the box office at the i thea're, nd that on the occ:ion of Mr Swa'Ws lei 't concert, he received certain moneys on account of the lett'n-* of sea's, of which he submitted a statement. This shewn! that he had let scab to the value of £43 101, avd thit the amount of money he had in band on that acrouuC wa~. £13 7a. The witn''s went on to expr. ~i h:s coni dent ba'ief that if the debtor were rllowed time he would c 1 'charge a'l h's Jiab lilies, land at ary rate, if a reasonable offer ■ were n? .<ie, 'hat he wou'd be iucli 'ed to listen to them. Hewtia creditor himself, although he had not proved his claim, and yet he wr i willing to lake over the estate if a moderate offer were made t o him.' Mr Thco. Cooper suggested 5 ;iu the £. Mr Lennox did not know tbat be would accept this. At any rate he wouM not give a positive answer, but he might it allowed to retain the money in hand.

Mr Possenisl'ie objected to rnything of tho sort. He wanted exoct 20a ia the £, or take pot luck, He wr • not a hard man, and d:d not wish to press unduly upon anyone in difficulties; but lie had been treated ■with- such insolence iv this matter by the debtor hiD<>elf that he would consent t> no compromise. Mr Swallow had gone in for dress luxuries, and bad got him ti Bend to Sydney and Mel bourne for matotirta which cou'd not be procured here, and then had refused (o pay him a single penny. Mr Cooper : V- ■•; and when Mr Poteen eskie ra'lei for payment he was informed by the deb.or himse'f that tint wrs the first time a la'lor bad been allowed to enter h's nouse. j Mr Lennox rep'ird tbat i here con'd hi no doubt that Mr Swa'low wn a geau's, and that he wpi able to earn plenty of money if he were allowed to do so. He bad full con fidence in tho man, find be.'ieved tbat be was honestly desirous of paying off all hte liabilities. . , Some further discussion tiok place with regard to Mr Lennox's 'prof a-al to buy over the creditors' claims against the estate, but nothing was done. Mr Swallow was then called and after being sworn was informed by Mr Cooper that he was summoned to examination as to the state of his affairs since he bad filed lus schedule iv December, 1880. In answer to the question as to whether ho hod pre pared any abstract of accounts' he bad earned or received since tho date mentioned, tho debtor replied that he had received so very that he had kept no account, while ho had earned comparatively, nothing. Durine; 18SI his earnings did not average £3 per week, and he had kept no record of his oxpcnse3 as,he had no money wherewith to pay all he owed. He had no servant during that year, but his friend, Si»nor Antonclli, had been kind enough to live with him and help him with the domestic duticj. He had given him very little money, but owed him some, fie had kept a l;st of Irs pupils, and although he had not it with him he could produce it if it was wanted. He would supply this list to-morrow. He had not seen an organ let alone play one duiing the hst two years. He woviW eWouvour tomato up n.n.*W,w<n; of his receipts and ftTpund'iturc • for 1881, and up to date as well. At the present time ho bad 15 pupil*, and this was the largest number he had bad for the past 18 months. They paid 'him four guineas each per qua. tor io advance, and ho had received Irom them sixty guineas for tho current quarter. Although hewas teaching at Mrs Stodda d's school last month,. receiving 22 guineas per quarter, he had no schools now to attend, lie bad only taught at Mrs Stoddard's schoolforonoqu.rter, whjn he received notice that bis serv'ces would no longer bs required. He did nn remember any furihor receipts, but if he recolleoted any more he would include them in his promised statement. He now live! at I'arnell, near Mason's gardens, and paid 14s per week*rent, but ho was £9 in arrears. The house was not properly furnished. He had a piano - a Nicholas Erard—which he had hiied from Mr Bowring at 25s per month. It had been in his possession now for nearly twelve months, bat he had made no agreement for its purchase. He had also a harp, which he bad olso got from Mr Bowriog, the price of it being £12, which be had to pay in 4 months. Nothing had been paid, however, ia tbat respect, as bo had bad nothing to pay. Tho house aho contained two beds, in one of which be slept, while the other wa<» ocoupled by AntonellL Ho could not st-te the average amount of bis weekly expenses, but he would try to prepare a statement of them. So far as the concert wai concerned, he bad received £40 at the door«, and no other receipts. The debtor then put ia the following list of his disbursements :—

The "Hbrald" people wanted to charge him £20 for advertising, but.ho induced them to consent to an abatement of £15, which he paid, and yet they had not uivon him a good notice. Ho did pot remember how m,nch he had given Antonelli, bat he would try to pre pare a statement. An income of £240 per annum was quite insufficient for him. He had never lived on so little before, A pro fessional musician had to keep up a posi tion and to wear clothes which involved an expenditure of more than £240 per year. Autonelli w;s, kept by him,(and taught music and singing by him, iv consideration of which he was kind enough to perform some cooking and other similar duties. On being asked if ho could make no offer, the debtor replied that he could not do so at present. So far ho had not earned enough for himself, because he bad received an in. come at the rate of £250 per annum, and already he had loat two pupils through tho late persecution,

Mr Theo, Cooper remarked that a single man who was receiving £440 per tnnura could hardly complain of inability to pay debts amounting to £150 per anuum-dobt«, too, which had been standing over for 18 months.

The debtor said that if his present in come continued he would tiy to set apart £60 per amrim for his creditois. Eg did not accuse the creditors of persecution, but he did blame the press for it. He could hve on little enough. At ono time in 1881 he had sub isted for three days ou bread and water, and indeed his diet during the whole of that year had been little belter In America he had beon able to earn £2 000 or £3,000 per year. Mr Pocssneskie commented en the list of disbursements submitted by the debtor and expressed tho opinion Jbnt £5 13s 6d for wines and spirit?, and s:mi!ar items. wero tather extravagant for a man who wished to pay off the long overdue claims ot creditors.

Mr Macffarlane then announced that he had received on the previous day the fol. lowing letter frora the debtor :-'• Parnell Auckland, June 19, 1852.-To Thoma^ Macffarlane, Esquire s Sir.-As I cannot afford to employ a solicitor, I beg to state my case as it now stands, und hope that mv creditors will give me the. liberty of action necessary to allow me not' only to earn mv living, but Jo pay od their claims at as early a date as possible. I have no desire to shirk my responsibilities; but, on the contraiy, have every wish to pay off my creditors in full, and will do so if I am not persecuted by my creditors and the press I am willing to allow anyone to inspect my books j and will be prepared to give nn a fair proportion of my earnings to co ta my creditor. If I am forced to leave the •V," -,¥ continued persecutions, 1 will still continue any arrangements that may be satisfactorily made with regard to my creditors. I may add tiiat, on the eve of my bankruptcy, I handed over nil the goods which I'pos sewed. These were sacrißced at an ill advised sale by auction, or my assets would have been greater than my liabilities. If my music and instruments bad not been taken .from me, I would have earned enough

I moucy, before now, to have satisfied nil 'the demands a^tinst me. The proceeds taken at the door at my concert tbe other evening have ati been consumed in ex penses pnd payment of aci^unta. I am now almost per i.J si, and can make no offer to my orfslgrfl beyond the arrange meat which I i>. /c sugi»e?ted in this letter. If protec.ion be afifordg'i me, I can either here or cl'ewhere earn sufficient by my p:of--3ion tofaableme te keep up a respectable p». itkm, and to pay off my debts.—l f id, s'r, yours sincerely, Martin Swallow." The examination wps then postponed, pending the receipt of the promised ah stracls of receipts and expenditure, &C.

Mr Hutchisson presented a petition 25 feet long, signed by 1,50 pf>"sems, proving aga'ust the introduction of skilled labour in gaols. Mr Sbddon followed with another peti tion 32 feet lon-*, hav,"ng two thousand signature?, praying that tne southern por> tion of tbe educational district of the Middle Island bs divided. The hon. menu ber unroll d the petition, and lp'd it down on the floor of the House, but the ta;k of rolling it up f 311f < somebody else, Mr Serimski gave notice that to-morrow he would move that the House ad journ on Friday the 30th, instead of Thura day,andmcet again on Wednesday.instead of Tuesday, because he had been informed the Canterbury people were making such extraordinary preparations for their recep tion tbat he was sure hon. gentlemen would not be in a fit state to attend to their duties on Tue day. This remark w; ■; received with ciies of "Vh," pud laughter. NOTICE OF MOTI«». Mr Fulton gave notice that he would move "That the Education Act be amended so as to enable the Bible to be read in schools, under certain restrictions ss to time." HEPLYINfI TO QTJISTIONS. Replying to Mr Steward, Mr Johns- TON faid the Government would consider the propriety of ''rtroducing into the rail way system a method of forwarding passengers' luggage similar to-that in opera tion in the United Slate?, Iriown as the check system.

Repljing to Mr BRACKEN, Mr Rollfs ton said for-st planting is New Zealand had been already largely resorted to, and encouragement would be held out to local bodies desirous of going in for it more largely. Replying to Mr Tolb, Mr Dick aaid a fee of 20s .under the Patent! Act, 1870 and 1881, protected inventions for a period of six months. At tbe exp<ry of that time, 40a more secured all right of protection undsr tbe Act. The Government deemed this liberal enough terms, and did not consider any further amendment necessary.

Replying to Mr Ftjltoh, Mr DiCK»aitl the Government had utv>Vr • ;xadideration the recomraendaHiiu,«,; the Petitions Com mittee, thafy all persons entering the Govei nmenfiservice under permanent en gagement s|iiuld iosare their lives for an amount equal to two years' pay at least, but they bad not seea their way to give effect to tlsi recommendation. The ques tion wes net ye;, finally disposed of, TEADE MABK3 BILL. Replying to Mr CADMAN, Mr JOHNSTON said a suji of £25,000 had been expended on the /ailway from Waikato to Thames, lor whith £69,000 had been vo fed. Bepsying to Mr Tole, Major ATKINSON said (bat he would be prepared to render *ue present method for collecting the beer tax le,=s oppressive if such a method could be pointed out to him. Mr Xole said he would submit a plan.. P&IVATB BILLS COSTS BILL. On the motion of Mr Hamlih, the Private Bills Costs Bill was read a second time. Mr Dice moved, " That the report on the Trade Marks Act and Bill be edopted." Mr Fish moved the recommittal of the B'|l, with tbe view of preventing it from being made retrospective. A ca«e was just now pending before tie Dunedin Courts, and the Bill was evidently intended to meet certain difficulties connected with a oonviction under that prosecution. A debate en«urd, and in i*T coarse it was pointed out that the ineamre did not aim at creating a new offence, bat simply pro vided reasonable faculties for detecting and convicting under a crime already defined hy law.

The House divided on the original motion : Aye«, 40; noe«, 27. The Bill was read a third time and passe J,

THE ESTIMATES.

COMMITTEE OF SUPPLY.

On the motion for going into Committee of Supply,

Mr Montgomcby hoped that no debate would take place on the financial statement until tho public works statement and the polioy Bills of the Government were before them.

Mr Macandrew ooncarred, and asked the Government to indicate when state ments and Bills cou'd be brought down. Major Atkinson said it would be im'pos siblo in one speech to think of covering the whole field of their policy and finance. They would be much wiser to discuss the whole question in sections, If delayed until the whole policy wag before them, h.e appre bended that the discussion would he very defective, whereas the Government invited the fullest possible discussion. It was quite impossible for the Government to bring down the whole scheme of their finan cial policy at once, . He therefore hopod they^ould ba prepared to go on with the debate with the various sections as these were brought down. He had .hoped they would at an early date at all eventa have had a very instructive discussion on taxa tion—the taxation of land, at all events'. The motion was carried, and the House went into Committee of Supply. Claw-Legislative, £39,7^1 Vote.Legia lative Council, £1,735, In reply to questions as to how the vote for tho previous year had been increased liora £1,446, The Tkbasurbr said that thia increase was in accordance with the liat sent down by the Speaker of the House, Hon..

Mr Bhrimski supported the itora. • Mr Fish opposed it. Mr Moss objeoted to these committees, contending that properly the duties of the committees should be discharged by the Government. .

. The item was passed on the voices Item, Chairman of Native Affairs Com. mittee, £100.

Mr J. C. Brown moved that it be struck out. He insisted that the appointment was ono of a purely patty charaoter, It was passed on the voices, The total class as redused to £39,483, was ! then put and passed. mSXom^t Sccretetys vote« Pxo- Pessed,- Vote, Colonial Secretary's Office, £1,985. MrDOLwis movad that it be reduced to ±1775, the amount voted last year The committee divided on the amend ttont: Ayes, 25; noes, 41. i Vote, Electoral Department, £2 985. Mr Conoliy pointed]out the disparity of oirxr osed tQ be paid to the h,,Mk. SiIu BHA? Pointedout that in Frank. Jin ISorth a lawyer, who had appeared whT,^ 6 f'V 11* member ' Major Harris, when the first election was upset, afterwardi was appointed returning officer for the second election. «• Mr DiCK'eJtplalned that under the Kepre sentation Act of last year the electorates were d.vided, and the amounts in such cases had to be divided amongst the addi tional registrars required, and they were content with the amounts so paid. He had now been told for the first time that ■ the person who appeared in the late election petition case in Franklin North was the same as the returning officer who acted at the late election. MrSHKEHAN aaid he was not speakine from any paity prompting, at the|ametim|,

he considered it was very far wring to ap« point, a Kegistrar who had been hand and glove with, and counsel for one of the candidates. Had the election oomo'to a ' casting vote, they could not for' a moment imagine that a Returning Officer, so situated, Would give a fair and impartial vote. He hoped the thing would not eccur again.

Mr Dick said that had he known the facts of the case, he would not have an. pointed the officer referred to. Ho had pre viously been a trusted officer of the Govern ment, and the Government was not aware that he had undo.taken private practice as a solicif"r. ' ■

Mr HOLME 3 moved, "That the vote lie reduced by £1,485." In Australia, the Registration Officers were paid by a fee ol Is on each claim to vote, paid by the elec tor, securing thecertiuVa^j of bis right. He wi«h-d to see a, similar system introduced' here. It had the double advantage of ge'tt'ng the electors placed on the roll tree of coat to the State, and when the el-ctor ten. dered h's vote, he had to produce the ceitl ficate, and by tbat means personation would be prevented.

Mr Dick objected, contending -that the payment of a registration fee would be op. pavd ♦ j the spirit of their franchise. The amendment wr n negatived, and the vote as printed passed.

Vot?, Audit Office, £8,732. Pa-cd.

Yoh, Registrar General and Govern, ment Statistics, £8,563. Item : Registrar General, £575. Mr J. C. BaOWN proposed that the £25 increase bo struck out, complaining that the depaiiment was badly conducted, and the mfoiaiation delayed nnt'l it mi utterly useless.

Mr Hurst supported the same view describing it as; by far the worst conducted of the Government Departments. Mr Dick, Major Atkinson, and Mr bHEEHAN supported the increase, i on i AH iaiot\ tll(5 amendment was earned by 30 to 18, and the vote passed reduced. Mr Fish moved that the item £140 Registrar of Births, &c., Wellington, he stiuck out. As Commissioner of Crown Lands he received £460, and he apprehended that was enough for the services rendered. Mr Pearson moved, "That the item Registrar of Auckland, £325, be reduced

Mr Holmes argued that to equalise the salary of this man with that paid to the Re&lstrar of Christchurch, £200 should be struck off.

Mr Dick suggested that it would bo better to raise tiie salaries of the Registrars of Dunedia and Christchurch, rather than reduce the salary of the Auckland officer. He promised to be in a position to give fuller information respecting the other salaries and fees paid these oliicers to-mor row.

Mr O'Callaghan contended that £50 added to Christchurch would not equalise the salaries. He thought the Registrar of, Auckland should be reduced.

Mr Holmes withdrew his amendment. He did so with the view of giving the Sec retary an opportunity, of bringing down a uniform rate for the whole of these Regis, trars,

Captain McKknzib thought that the pro posed items were most irregular. 3?r^Z\7asUxViitjff^^n-e vote*.** wholo was most unsalisfactoiy, and he "wtajild therefore move reporting progress. The amendment for the reduction of the Auckland Registrar's salary by £125 was then put. The committee divided on the amend* ment:—Ayes, 18 ; noes, 40. Mr W, Whit* moved that the vote bo reduced by £75, makine the salary £250." The committee divided on the amend* ment:—Ayes, 15; nocu, 37. Tbe vote was then put, and passed, Progros? was then reported, and the Souse r033 at 12.40 a.m.

In moving the, second reading of tbo West Coat Peace Preservation Bill, . MrWuiTAKER said the whole subject' divided itself into two par*?, one bavins reterence to what is already done, which is covered by the Indemnity Bill; the second part being what is (o be done in the future which the. Peace Preservation Bill dealt with. It would be admitted on all hands that great delay had taken place in settling i the difficulties on the West Coast. It was unnecessary for him to go into the origin of what bad taken place, because he thought he could give sufficient reasoa for passing these Bills without doing so. He then re ferred to the removal of the surveyors, and the arrest of the natives. The oircumstanceg that existed at that time might have been > overdrawn, but it appeared to him that in August, 1879, the full position was recog nised, and the responsibility of what had taken place since that time rested with the I Assembly, for by carrying out the mere details the Government was responsible, but for the policy which had been pursued tbo Assembly was responsible. When the Act of 1879 waipa sed, a state of things existed which was dangerous to the public peace-: —things which the ordinary course of the < law was nnable to deal with. It -was essential that conic-thing should be done bj - the Government. At that time the Royal Commission was appointed. While carrying out the law the polioy of the Government had been conciliatory to the natives < last' year the Goveinment felt it necessaiy' to put an end to the stale of things then existing. Te Whlti and Tohu were arrested, and ' removed from Tarauaki. If they had beßn; f allowed to return to Taranaki, he, for one," should not have borje the consequences, and"' he should have left others to carry oat what might have been the will of the Assembly* ; At pre3ent there was every prospectl of • matters settling down quietly.'The Go. ■ ' yernmeut did not wish to punish Te Whitl !; and Tohu, hut to prevent them going back • to Parihaka, and doing mischief. If they' were allowed at present to return, the same difficulties, he thought, would again arise. ■ Sir Geoeqe WHrTMORB then spoke, ami at length reviewed the history of the1 aiffi. colties on the West Coast He desired tlia preamble struck out of the Bill. ;1 Mr Wl TAKO supported the actiorof the Government. As to the detention of' T« Whiti and Tohu, the'Govotnment had dona the best thing under the circumstances.' • Mr G. MoLKAN would support the Sill; '•' Mr Scotland and Mr Mautell critic ewed the Bill. . "( '

Captpin Fkaser moved the adiqurrment of the debate till next day, and tho Council tO3eatsp.m.

They had quarrelled, and she was waiting for him to begin the peace. At length he said, "Je t'adore.' "Shut it yourself," said she, " you leftit epon." He did, Who is still waiting. . ■■■;'.
