The weather being tine, with the wind blowing light from S.W.,- the vessel was iii a sheltered position, nnd there is there fore very little fresh to report concerning her.

SHOOTING AND MYSTERIOUS TRAGEDY.

By tho steanier Te Anau to-day wo have received particulars of a mysterious murder iv New South Wales as follows :—

Sydney, December 7.

A shocking tragedy occurred at Olliil'e's Hyde I'ark Hotol yesterday afternoon. A strangor entered tho bar about lunch time, and asked to have his boxes taken care of for a time. Shortly afterward!) tho bar maid, Ncr.ih Co?tello, took her accustomed place. The stranger, on this, asked for the boxes, opened them, and produced a re volver, which ho proceeded k> load. Ho appeared to have loaded three chambers, when a report was heurd and the <J 1 fell behind tho bar, and expired at once. The man was found to havo disappeared, and has not yet boen discovered. iUlogod Poisoning Case At West Maitland, Sarah Koop and her mother, Mary Ann Barton, havo been com mitted for trial for tho murder of William Henry Keep, by poisoning.

His Worship the Mayor and Town Clerk paid au official visit to tho commander and officers of H.M.S, Espiegle to-day at noon, A general meeting of the St. Holler's and Northcoto Land Company was held this afternoon, Mr .1. M. Clark presiding, when it was agreed " That the name of tho Com pany bo altered from tho St. Holier', and Northeote Land Company(Limited)to "Tho City of Auckland Tramways and Suburban Laud Company (Limited)."

In tho District Court yeiiterday, His Honor Judge Smith delivered judgment in tho case of the Auckland Agricultural nnd Mercantile Company versus R. K. Davis (creditor's trustee in T. W. Carr's insolvent estate). Mr Theo. Cooper appeared for tho plaintiifi), and Mr Hugh Campbell for the defendant. The action wae brought to recover the prico of 100 sacks of oats for warded to To Aroha on Carr's credit. Carr was then in difficulties, and Mr R. K. Davis was, before tho oats reached Te Aroha, at To Aroha engaged in an investi gation on behalf of some of Carr's creditors of Carr's affairs. This investigation dis closed the fact that Carr was hopelessly in solvent, on arrival of the oats Can refused to take them. Davis then proposed that Can- should make a deed of arrange ment under the Debtors and Creditors Act. A deed was accordingly prepared, and Carr signed it on tfyo understanding that tho o_ts wero excluded fronj the assignment. Davis assented to ,this. Subsequently the oats wero dealt with by Davis arad the trustee under tio deed. Upon tho first question raised, 'via., as ,to whether tho pro perty in tho oafcs ever passed to Carr (tho original vendee), His Honor ww of opinion that it did.' It was also perfectly well settled now that if an insolvent vendee has come into actual possession of goods he capnot rescind tiie contract and return tho goods to tho vendor. His Honor further thought that Daris, in taking possession of the oats as trustee under tho deed of arrangement, was authorised to do so by the deed, and that his character as such trustee precluded any inference that he was acting as agent for tho vendor, Hio taking possession was a determination of tho transit, and as n necessary consequence a determination also of the vendors' right to atop in trantutu, It remained only to consider tho effect of Davis's subsequent conduct. Had DaviH been a beneficiary, instead ef a trustee, hu position might have been materially affected by his subsequent negotiations with the plaujjjffs. But being a trustee, and there fore uod,ef' ,in obligation to protect the in terests" of nil (.he creditors alike in ac cordanco'witAi tb,e terms of tho deed, it was no longer competent fflr him to make any arrangement tliat would l)»ve the effect of favouring ono creditor at the expense of the rest. His Honor therefore nonsuited the plaintiffs.
