SUPREME COURT-In Chambers.

tills Day.

(lleforo his Honor Mr Justioc Gillies.)

SLOAN!* AND Mt'KRAY V. IltNTElt.—Mr J. M. Alexander moved, on bohalf of J. J. Hunter, for an ordor restraining tho Resi dent Magistrate's Court from proceed ing with an execution in the case Sloane and Murray v. Hunter on the ground that the debt was a debt prov able under Hunter's bankruptcy. It appeared that Hunter tiled in Au gust, 1881, nnd a trustee was elected, but no fuither steps had been taken sinco the election of tho trustee. The judgment, which was the subject of this application, was obtained in June, 1863, but was in re spect of a debt duo before tho bank ruptcy.—Mr Theo..Cooper opposed the ap plication, and took tho objection that tho bankruptcy proceedings were irregular, no proper affidavit verifying the statement of debts having been hied.—His Honor up hold tho objection, and dismissed tho application with costs. Probata, &o.—Probate was granted in re Colin Macduff Rudgyord Baxter and Robert Campbell (deceasod), while a similar motion in re Stephen A. Parker (deceased) was deferred to allow of a fresh affidavit being filed. Robert Coot'Eß v. Coleman and Others.*1 —Mr Theo. Cooper for plaintiff, and Mr A. E. Whituker for dofondonts.—Tho issues were settled, and tho case fixed for hearing during tho October sessions of the Court. George Eraser v. Kino and Walker. — Mr C. F. Buddie for plaintiff, and Mr E. W. Burton for defendants.—This matter came up upon summons, calling upon tho plaintiff to show cause why a sum of £24 16s, paid into tho Registrar's office in pursuance of charging order heroin, should not be paid to J. W. Waller. It seems that tho amount was remitted from New Plymouth to the credit of J. W. Waller at the Bank of Now Zealand, by which institu tion it was handed over to the Registrar. Mr Waller presontod his cheque nt the Bank, bat it was dishonoured. He now claimed the sum as agent for an un disclosed principal.—His Honor held that he had no right to the money, inasmuch as his principal was not before the Court, nnd therefore dismissed the summons with coste, 21s.

This was all the business,

A magisterial inquiry into the loss of the Alma is fixed for to-morrow, but will pro bably be adjourned till later in the week.

Last night, at the weekly meeting of St. Matthew's Mutual Improvement Society- Rev. Mr Tebbs presiding—a most interest ing paper on " Plant Growth " was read by Dr. J. Murray Moore.

The subject was illustrated by means of 28 splendid views on glass ex hibited by means of the magic lantern. These views were executed by Mr W. S. Herapath by a new process, which is most valuable for the reproduction of illustrations on glass. Tho lecturo, which wo believe-Dr. Moore intends to amplify and re-deliver on another occasion, was thoroughly enjoyed by a largo audionce, who at tho close accorc-ed the lectun r a hearty vote of thanks. A number of ex hibits wero on View, and wero inspected with much interest at the close of the Ice-

Receiving no reply, linslruotod Com pany's Solicitor to apply to them. The following telegram is the only/answer received:—"Auck land, 2_rd August, Do not hold myself ro- 7 sponsible for statement in nny newspaper or telegraphic reports.—L. D. Nathan." The state ment roforred to appeared in Auckland \ " Herald," 18th instant, and is absolutely untrne. __ My Duncdin Manager had arranged to take n i lino of £70,000 from Briscoo and Company, ( Duncdin, the partners in which firm arc c largo shareholders in my Company, at a fair - premium, but tho sound and stable Companies Mr Nathan referred to step in and securo.the business at rates from ten to fifty per cent under our quotation. Tho policy of my f Company, which has the wealthiest and most influential body of shareholders in the Aus- = tralian Colonies, is utterly opposed to tho reck less cutting And competition practised by the - sound and stable Companies.
