THE NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT.

[BY TELE&RAPH.—rRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Dunedin, Friday. At the Chamber of Commerce, Mr G. Bell, the Chairman, in the course of a lengthy speech, referring to tho new Bankruptcy Act, said :—"One very extraordinary phase of its operations seems to favour fraud, and add to the expense rather than to reduce it. It seems that this Act has omitted to make provision for conferring on the Official Assignee the right to examine a debtor ex cept through a solicitor. I havo a sort of hereditary reverence for the profession, and can quite understand the desire for putting their fingers into every_ dirty pie ; but it seems to me that a trained business-man, who is thoroughly acquainted with the debtor's doings and misdoings, and techni cally acquainted with business accounts, is tho fitter man to investigate a debtor's affairs thoroughly."

A long discussion ensued, in the course of which a good deal of warmth of feeing was displayed by the shareholders as regarding the management of the Compuiy.—Mr John Buchanan said the Compan/ had lost 20 por cent, of the capital, and perbaps 25 per cent. Such a loss was altogether un precedented.—Mr Bollard (working mana ger) denied the correctness of fee accounts. —In reply to a question by Mr Bollard, the Secretary (Mr J. R. Randerswi) said that he had debited the Company £1 a week for his services.—Mr Quick laid that al though he had proposed taat the Secre tary receive £1 a week, he did not mean the resolution to be retrospective as the Secretary ha» made it.— The Chairman vouched for the correctness of the balance-sheet, ani said the share holders should appoint anew directorate to audit it.—Mr Bollard then made a long statement relative to the management of the Company, in the cmrso of which he con demned the action ofthe directors. He had been insulted, as nanager, and in one instance the directors ordered the dis charge of a driver, in consequence of certain complaints about delivery of parcels. He (M> Bollard) positively re fused to carry out this instruction until an inquiry had beei made, and said the directors could dispense with his own services if they lUed, but he would not be a party to this in jistice.—Mr Jno. Buchanan explained why le resigned his position on the directorate He blamed the other directors for n,. compelling Mr Bollard to obey their ordrrs, and said the manager was the cause of failure. He had eat the vitals out of a conpany when he knew it was going to th? dogs.—Mr F. Quick twitted Mr Buchaiin with having tried to sell to the Company a piece of land that had a very smal frontage and large back.—Mr Buchanan denied that the land had the small fron&ge represented by Mr Quick. — The Chaihian said as the line was not pay ing the directors had reduced the expenses as far a( possible, and had requested Mr Bollard lo resign, but he refused to do so until lii/ year's engagement expired.—Mr Bollarcjsaid a minority only had requested him toresign.—Mr Quick said he had run the sepice for ten years, and could frame a tim. table which would make "it pay. — Mr lick thought the fares were tpo low^ and he system of selling tickets in;-<jozeij pack_s should be discontinuod.—Mr'Quic_ conferred.— In reply to. a questia_,,. vMr Boferd said he was willing to place bia resgnation in|the hands of the new-director ate—The election of a Board of directors' ya's then proceeded-with. Ther_- were fourteen nominations. A 'ballot--was taken, md the following were"decla__l elected:— Messrs.Craig, 419; Hesketh',. .04; Quick, 401 { Barber, 383; Mitchell,"36l; Peck, 331; Stewart, _325,_._. Messrs Walters,: Lennox, Gittos, Dakin, Faulder, and Bol lard were thejother candidates.

MEETING TO FORM A YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSO CIATION.

A public meeting for the purpose of con sinering steps to be taken for the forma oi a Young Women's Christian Association was held last evening at the Y.M,C.A. Rooms. There was a very meagre attend ance The Hon. Colonel Haultain, who was voted to the chair, called on the Rev. J. S. Hill to explain the objects of the pro posed Association, The Rev. Mr Hill pre faced his remarks by apologising for tho absence of the convener of the meeting, Mr W. Rattray, in consequence of indisposi tion. He then proceeded to state that the prime object of such an Association as that which it was proposed to form was the establishment of a link of sympathy between young women of all classes for the promotion of their social, moral, and spiritual welfare. The means suggested for the promotion of this object was—(l) tho provision of a refresh ment and reading-room. Since the wind ing up of the Young Women's Institute there was no suitable place in which young women employed about the town could procure refreshment, and they were now frequently compelled to cat their luncheon in the street. (2) The holding of occa sional social gatherings. (3) Assisting those out of employment to procure suit able situations. He mentioned that 65 single girls had recently arrived in this port, and of these 30 were altogether friendless. He was sorry to say that some of these girls had commenced life here in a manner that would not be desirable to the community. Some very painful things had come under his notice that day. He might _ay ' that it was also proposed to establish a savings bank for young women. (4) The formation of singing and reading classesi (5) The formation of a Biblo class. (6) The providing of a home for young women when the funds of the association would admit of it, He then read the rules. It was then proposed that the association be composed of associates who would subscribe 10s per annum, and of mcinbers subscribing 6s per annum, or 6d per month. The affair would be managed by a president, ;vice president, hon. treasurer, Jion. secretary, and a council of ten members, of which one-half would be ladies. —Mr Coupland proposed "That a Young Women's Christian Asciatipn be formed. Mr Ewington, in seconding the motion pro forma, did not wish to commit himself without first knowing more about the Association. Was such an Association necessary ? Was there any reason to ap prehend that a reflection was cast upon the various Church organisations, implying that they were negligent in this respect I He thought a feeling was growing up that tho frequent attendance at meetings by young women had the effect of withdrawing them from the home circle and their house hold duties. He observed that there was no clergyman present except the Rev J. S. Hill. The meeting was small. Was there any good reason for thinking that this pro posal would be moro successful than the institution which had just come to grief? Mr Hill having replied to Mr Ewington the motion was carried and the following ladies were elected a pro visional committee to form the proposed association :—Miss Judd (convener), Mrs McCosh Clark, Mrs Potter Clark, Mrs Kenderdine, Mrs Shirley Hill, Miss Leach man, with power to add to then* number. Several ladies gave in .heir names as asso ciates.

This concluded the procoedingsv

St. Jacob's Oil Invincible.

(To the Editor of Evening Star.) Dear Sir,—l wish to add my testimony to tho efficacy of the great German remedy, St. Jacob's Oil. Your columns have contained, from time to time, expressions of gratitude from persons of known respectability, aDd having satisfied my self of the genuineness of the cures effected, I obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would suc ceed in relieving me, For the past seven months I have suffered severely from a pain ful attack of sciatica, which, in spite of the most able treatment on the part of my medi cal adviser, continued to hold its own in ay system. My sleep at last began to be affected, and my whole system very much reduced. The most careful treatment failed to give me relief, and I then applied nearly every advertised remedy. The sciatica was principally located in my left thigh, and tlie pain at times was most excruciating. In spite of tho most thorough applications, and the great est care and attention on my part, • ob tained no appreciable relief, and at last, a*.. 9 forlorn hope, I determined to apply St Jacoba Oil, and frcm that time the pain began to diminish. Uy sleep soon returned, and each application afforded me relief. At first I re garded tke cessation from pain as only a temporary one, scarcely daring to hopo that the cure was complete; but I havo gratefully to acknowledge that I am now free from pain-in fact, a man again. I must corfess t'nat I tried the Oil in abso lute despiir. I had had no sleep for three or four nights previously, and my system was very low. Tte success, however, is complete, and I again tender my grateful acknowledgments to the proprietors of the Oil, and shall ever continue to reconmend it to every sufferer who comes within range of my influence. What medical skill fsiled to do St. Jacob's Oil effected, and I regan? it as tne greatest boon of the age. I am, dear Sir, -..- [ Yours faithfully, j John Lee. Ashbourne, Mudgee, November 12,1883.

I used St. Jacob's Oil, nnd in one or two applications tho vain entirely left. Since then I have had occa sion to use the Oil on a badly-sprained wrist, and its effect was simply magical. My wife 'las used it for neuralgia in the head, with quolly satisfactory results.

We have never used any Other form Of this medioine than Collis Browne a from a firm conviction Uiat it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the Brof eralon and the public as we are of opinion .at the substitution ot any other than Collis Browne's is a deliberate breach of faith on the fart of the chemist to frescriber AND'patient alike.
