THE LATE FIRE IN QUEEN STREET.

Ax inquiry ■ into the probable cause of the recent lirj in the preiuises of JU' E. Wall, in Queen-street, was opened this afternoon in tho Clarendon Hotel, foot of Wakefleld' street, before Dr. Philsrm, coroner, and a

jury of thirteen.—Mr J. T. Garlick was i chosen foreman. —Superintendent Thomson appeared on the part of tbo police.—The in quiry was instituted at the request of the members ot the Insurance Association.— Tho jury having viewed the premises, the witnesses wore ex.'uijiut'i.—Mr Brossey appeared for'Mr Wall, and Mr Hesketh to U'atoh the inquiry on behalf of the Norwich and Colonial Companies.—Superintendent •'Thomson, complained of the many obstacles which had been thrown in the way of the police in prosecuting inquiries respecting tho fire. They had not only been impeded by Mr Wall, but by his assistant?, down to the thop boy. Detective Walker could get no satisfactory answer, although ho had called several times. Detective Twohey had been to Mr Wall's residence at Ponsonby, and was put oft. Tho boy slid he was to answer no questions putby the police, but told the detective he must apply to Mr Wall's solicitor. He had never met with such discourtesy in any previous instance. It was unexampled in his experience. Mr Brassey seemed to Wish that the inquiry should be held in his office, and he be allowed to sit by. Mr Brassy replied that when information was conveyed to him that Detective Twohey was putting quostions to Mr Wall's assist ants, he deemed it his duty to instruct Mr Wall that he was to refer tho police to him at his office. He was always willing to afford the police all necessary information, and he hoped Mr Thomson's remarks would not prejudice the jury.—Superintendent Thom son was obliged to leave, and the witnesses were examined by Detective Walker.— William Edward Wall was swern, and deposed that he was a draper lately in business in Queen-street, where the premises were destroyed by fire on the 4th inst. He. left his premises on the 3rd insr. at 8.30 p.m. Three others left at the same time. lie locked the shop door and took the key with him to his home in Ponsonby. Two of the men were left behind, Gorrio at the top of Wellesley street, and the other two at the United Ser vice corner. One lodged at the Albert Hotol and the other in Grey-street. Thoy did not take any of his books that, night. The book<» were kept in the desk at tho enn of tho counter. Two or threo of the books were consumed, and others pirtly burnt, (Left Sitting).

ADJOURNED MEETING OF MR ALEX, McARTHUR'S CREDITORS.

Dol)t6 to be Paid at the . Rate of Threo Hundred Pound 3 por Annum.

The adjourned meeting of iho creditois of Alexander Mo Arthur, principal ot tho Training College, was held In the Ofllcial Assijjneo'n, Sn., prune Court, this afternoon. Mr Lawdon, .As' iyp.ee. presided aud there were present: ilcssrc Me Arthur (bankrupt). John Abbott. S. Ilesketh j (-:o'i.:it |-r for tlic bankrupt), O. P. Buddie (proxy fnr Milne ;iud Choree), Havkis, C. Aickin. Noble, Wynian, and Frutcr The Chairman bubmittccl tho following return wliioh had been conipib.-l for tiie infor mation of tbe creditors:—Statements of receipts and expenoi lire for two years before filing: I Keioirti: Board of Education, £1,200; other receipts (?ay), £10; Harkig, £2SO; total, fil.oiO. Kxncndit':r;: Estimate of living at £iCO per annum, ■■SO; interest paid to Harkis, *271; nuning losses is.«y), .WOO; interest outside Uurkis. £%>; payment to X 3. aud A. C. Bank in 1&2, ±7i ; t tal. £1,105. A return was alao submitted of the payments made to ;;iiirl'sli. Scottish, and Australian Bank in iiount Gambier on his father's account since, the bankrupt's arrival in New Zealand in April 187 D. The total shown was £176 Us Bd. The appended statement of Mr McArthur in ac count with T. Harkis was likewise submitted: "To promissory notes passed through my hant^s from July, I*B-2. to Nov. ISS3, £1675 Is; to dis count on same, £ISS 83 6d; to commission, £72 llsGd ; total, £27135, or »} per cent, of interest on three months promissory nofc-s, or J5 per cent -per annum. In reference to the above I would liko to state for tho information of creditors tho follo%vinz: Take, as an example, the history of a £25 P.N. allowed to remain during the whole period from July, 1882, to January, 1884: Receipts, £21; renewals paid, £21. The transaction would appear as £173; interest as £10 per cent, on three months' P.N., or 40 per cent, per annum; commission, £1 10a. On this tooting, which I think Mr Harkis cannot refute, £1,975 as a transaction would represent only in reality £242 renewed for the period, and £322 paid in interest and commission on renewal. Thus there won W stiil be omnu £282, although £, 22 had b en pai' as abovo —A. McArthur." Mr Abbott suited that the amount ot his transactions with the bankrupt was £703 lCs, extending from March, 1882, to November 1883, for which the bankrupt paid him in interest £19 15s, and still owed him em. In answer to Mr Abbotts questions, the bankrupt said: I did Btate at the last meeting that you had received moro from me than your bills represented. I paid you £100 lor Monte Christoli sharos, and never received anything out of it. I also gavo you a bill for £25 tor a : share in the Canterbury. Eventually the oreditora agreed to accept an offer to pay the debts in full at tho rate of £300 a year.

Accident at Rifle Butts.

Nelson, this day.—A boy named Kelly, about 16 years of age, was accidentally shot through the right arm at the Rifle Butts this morning. The danger-flag was flying, but no notice was taken of it. Both bones were broken.

The contractor's bond in connection with the cutting down of Emily Place will not be signed till to-morrow, and till that is done it is considered inadvisable to pub lish the list of tenders. About three o'clock this afternoon a buggy accident occurred on the Queen street Wharf near the toll-house. Messrs Quick, jun., and Edward Perkins were driving down the wharf when the linch-pin lost its hold and the vehicle parted with the shafts. Tho buggy capsized, and its oc cupants were thrown out, sustaining, how ever, no injuries.

The Harbour Board confirmed the action of the Frozen Meat Company in accepting Mr Maegnire's tender for the cutting-down of Emily Place subject to the approval of its Engineer. Tbe following are the amounts to be paid a" compensation in connection with the cutting down of Emily Place-.—Farmer, '"-I COO"; Jewish congregation, £ 3,300; Lawford, £250 ; Wright, £300 ; St. Paul's, £4 7SO • total, i-9.G01>.

TAWHIAO'S MOVEMENTS.

AT 11 o'clock to-day, Tawhiao, accom panied by Rewi, Mr & 0. Davies, and several natives, left by the Rose Casey for Kawau, it being their intention to pay a visit to Sir George Grey at his island home. The Maori King hna for some time past been desirous of conversing with Sir Ge:rge Grey regarding the proposed mission ts England, and in deed he came to Auckland expressly for that purpose. Sir George Grey will no doubt give Tawhiao all the information in h'!s power, though it must be admitted that after tho Maori potentate's uncivil, conduct to Sir George in IS7O he docs not de* servo much consideration from the ex- Premier. We understand that the mis sion will start for England some time about the middle of next month. At present it is stated that it will comprise Tawhiao and 12 other chiefs, but it is more than probable that this number, from finan cial reasons, will dwindle before the date of the departure arrireß. The amount so far collocted for the expenses of the "embassy" is stated at from £1,000 to £1,500.
