MEETING OF MR ALEX. Mc- ARTHUR'S CREDITORS.

Probable Composition of 10s in £.

The first meeting of tho creditors of Alexander McArthur, principal of the Training College, was held this morning in the office of the Official Assignee at tho Supreme Court. There were present, besides the debtor and the Assignee (who occupied the chair): Messrs James Max well, H. h. Field, C. Aickin, S. Hesketh t m debtor)> p- Oliphant, G. N. Brassey (for M essrs Harkiss, Stephens andFenton), W.H. Wyman, andC. F. Buddie (for Milne and Choyce).

The debtor's statement set out that his unsecured liabilities amounted to t'SOS 12s 2d, of which £175 due to Captain Field, £112 10s to T. Harkis and Co., £74 to John Abbott, £G0 to W. H. Wyman, and £55 each to T. T. Masefield and P. Oliphant, were tho largest amounts, while the assets were placed at £66 10s, viz., £20 for books, £25 for mining shares, and £21 10s due to Bruford's estate.

The debtor, having been sworn, was cross-examined by Mr Browning. He said : —I have no household furniture, having sold what I had two years ago. My salary is £00* per annum, and has been so for the last three years. I have received fifteen guineas end other small sums for examin ing and "coaching" at various times. It is not true that I made £150 n-year over and above my salary of i'ooo. My wife has no property ; neither has she any very ex pensive jewellery.— Mr Browning: Will you give us some account of your dealings with your f-.ther?—Mr McArthur: At the beginning, my father, who was a contractor, bought some land on Emerald Hill. That was as far back as 1875. He did not have it all cleared, and he was anxious to build. He built accordingly, and while I was holding a position in South Australia, he wrote to me about some difficulties he was in. I made him advances, and endorsed bills for him. The cost was £2,400. I have been sending him money ever since I was 16, when I first went to work—the idea being that I should make some return for the education I received. I suppose I have sent him in all about £800. He was always contracting, but, like many in his trade, the contracts were not always successful. I camo here in April, 1879, being then pretty clear. I owed about £100, principally liabilities of my father's. I had £350 a-year at tho Grammar School till the end of 1880, when I received my present appointment. I began to float bills three years ago, when the English and Scottish Bank made a demand upon me to meet bills for £150 drawn for my fathor. I borrowed money from Laishley and Jack son, giving them a bill of sale over my fur niture. All that money went for >ny father's benefit, I then began to get into trouble, and to borrow different amounts. It was about that timo-1881 or 1882—that I was persuaded to go into the To Aroha mines. J do not put my father down as a debto:-, because his property is in the hands of trustees, and I havo no legal claim up»n him. Ho is virtually bankrupt, because his property was taken over by Banks Bros, and Bell, who bought it from the debtors. If there is any balance it will go to my mother and tho family, of whom I am the oldest. The estate contains a shop, which my mother works. It is doubtful whether there will bo any balance. My average expenditure in living has been about L 350 or L3GO a year. My wife was laid up for two years. I floated a bill for L3oowith Captain Field through MrHarkiss, receiving consideration out of it for L 205. That must have been in the middle of last year, before I went to Melbourne. By December Ist I had paid offL32s. I got L 55 from Mr Maselield through Harkiss on a promissory note. These were all throo months' bills, and they must have been getting larger as time went on. I could not say how much cosh I got out of them. I floated a bill for £25 with Mr Oliphant, receiving £22 10s cash. I floated another _-„_ ».__ _.<rr (*.'.-•£■_■ _Srntw &r£3o.. I floated bills also with C. Aitken and John Abbott. I invested in To Aroha mining shares with £100 lent mo by Mr John Abbott, who promised to charge mo no interest. That promise held good for three months, after which ho began to ohargo me interest, varying from 40 to (50 per cent., as his temper varied, or as I failed or chanced to meet him. He has got a great deol moro from me than I am repre sented as owing him on the bills he has. I stopped sending money to my father three years ago. I certainly did instruct Mr Harkiss to hold out my interest in the Mel bourne property to induce people to lend to me, and I believe I was justified in doing so. I never gambled for a penny in my life— with one exception, when I lost 4s Gd at whist rather than break up a party. lam glad that this question has been asked, as it affords mo an opportunity of making a prompt denial to any such supposition.— To Mr C. F. Buddie: I sold my furniture two years ago to Mr Dobson, of the Union Mutual Insuranco Company. I am now living in a furnished Tiouse in Parnell. I cannot say how much on an average I sont my father per year. For somo money I borrowed I was paying at the rate of 76 per cent. Ido not wish to find fault with the money-lenders, however. I havo no family.—To Mr Brassoy : I cannot give you the number of the lots or sections of property in Emerald Hill. They are situated in Park-street. West, and have a frontage of about 200 feet, and they adjoin, I believe, some vacant property be longing to Sir W. J. Clarke. The money I sent to mv father from Auckland was generally by" my own cheque, which was then sent here for collection. I cannot pro duce my cheque butts, butlcouldpreduae my pass books. It would not show, however, the different amounts I sent. I banked with the Bank of New Zealand first, and after wards with the Union Bank. I never sent a draft or P. O. order to my father so far as I can recollect. "I used to send the choques because I had the advantage of the return in getting the money, -"usually discounted a bill two or three days before another one fell due. Whon I sent the moneys to my father, I did so thinking that his property was solvent, but when I went I found that it was insolvent—one of the creditors taking it over for 10s in tho £ for a period of five years. I havo promised to pay certain tradesmen's bills for small sums after I get my drscharge.-In answer to Mr Brassey, Mr Hesketh promised, on behalf of tho debtor, to set the pass-books and cheques from tho lank with the object of shewing the sums he had transmitted to his father.-To Mr Oliphant: My salary is paid at the rate of £50 per month. I lost about £200 at Te Aroha, irrespective of interest.—lo Mr b. Hesketh: My father has a family of eight living. When_ I came here, the family was dependent upon my father and myself. Since then some of the girls have become teachers. 1 used to pay for the education of my younger brother and sisters. I advanced £800 in all to my father, and that is the amount of my liabilities.—To Mr Brassey: I paid John Abbott £100 for a promoter s share in the Monte Christo mine at Te Aroha. I also sunk between £40 and £o0 in the Deep Level Cross, nnd £25 in the Canterbury. Thatisall. I likewise paid some expenses on the Deep Level Cross to form it into a company.—To Mr Browning: I have never asked any member of the Board of Education to do anything for me, but the Inspector tells mo that my explanation may be accepted. In any case notice would be eriven me.—As there were no further questions to ask, Mr Browning proposed that the meeting should be adjourned for a reasonable time, and that in the meantime the trustee should ask Mr McArthur for a statement of his receipt* and expenditure during the last two years, and the amounts sent to Ins frther since he came to the colony; furrier, that the debtor should surrender his pass book, and Mr Harkiss be asked to re-jder an account of his transactions with Mr McArthur for the last two years. Ityearned as if the debtor had got into the.hands of the Philistines, and received very little cash from them They wanted to know how he had come to get bo deeply into tho mire, as his trade bills did not amount to more than £1-o.— Mr Buddie seconded. Some discusswn ensued, ir. the course of which Mr b. Hes keth mentioned that when the proper time came he was instructed to offer a com position of 10s in the £, payable at the rate of £200 a year.--After some further discus sion of a desultory nature, Mr Brownings resolution was passed, and the meeting ad journed till Tuesday, the 18th instant, at 2 p.m

MINERS' RIGHTS AT THAMES.

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

Thames, this day. A well-attended meeting of miners was held on Saturday night in connection with the agitation against the objectionable Miners' Rights Tax. Tho Mayor presided, and the following resolutions were carried : —(1) That this meeting, representing tho working miners of this district, desires to protest in the strongest manner agninst a continunnceof the present unjust law, which compels tho wages men and others working for gold-mining companies to pay for miners' rights, seeing that such law pro vides for giving to tho native or other owners of the freehold of the ground worked sums much in excess of those originally agreed upon. (2) That in order to effect tho alteration in tho law suggested by the foregoing resolu tion, it is desirable that a petition for presentation to Parliament be prepared and signed by all interested without any further unnecessary delay. (3) That a Committee consisting of nine persons bo appointed by : this meeting to take all steps neces- i sary for the getting-up and presenta tion of said petition to Parliament at the coming session.

FUNERAL OF THE LATE MR RHODES.

Tn_ mortal remains of the lato Mr Rhodos wore interred yesterday afternoon in tho cemetery attached to St. Mark's, Remuera, tho funoral cortege being a very large one. There was a short choral mortuary servico in the Church. Dr. Kidd received the procession at tho Church door, Mr Aneclo Forrest playing tho Dead March from ''Saul," while tho choir, number .injr fully 30 members, sang the hymn "When Our H-auVitre- Hpw'j) with Woo," and Psalm 39 »o Fcltori'a chant in C minor; • -An _."___ vtlicn addressod the congregation with special refer ence to the momory of the deceased. Ho re marked that he was singularly gifted as a vocalist, unobtrusive, and amiable in character, and beloved by all, as the largo congregation testified. His death, far away from tho land of his birth, was sad, but the sorrow of his friends at Home would bo partially assuaged by tho knowledge that he was mourned for here. As tho congregation retired Mr Angolo Forrest played "Blessed are tho Departed" (Spohr's "Last Judgment.") Heuded by tho He v. Dr. Kidd, the mourners proceeded to the cemetery, whore tho burial service was continued. At it. conclusion tho choir anng round the grave. "My God, my Father, Whilst I Btray.' r Mi- Edwin Hesketh (organist) presided at tho organ during the service. A large num ber of musicians, both amateur and pro fessional, were preßent. Ono of the deceased's favourite compositions, viz., tho Earl of Wil ton's anthem "There is a Greon Hill Far Away" was sung at St. Mark's last night, it having been selected by an odd coincidence fully a month ago, when the pieces for March wore being chosen. At tho Pitt-strcct Wes leyan Church last night tho choir, so recently under Mr Rhodes's direction, Bang " Vital Spark of Heavenly Flame" (the first piece ren dered after his assumption of office), whilo Pro fessor Lambert, tho organist, played "lilos.cd aro the Departed" and dead march from "Saul." in memory of deceased. The last-named pieco, for a similar reason, was played by Mr Pooloy, at the close of the evening servico at St. Mat thow's. Mr Rhodes was a wldowor, and loaves an only son who resides in England. We iinderstand that the deceased gentleman was loading bass, but not choir-master at _t. Mark's. That held tho position for three years, and relinquished It in October last, whon tho choir prosontod him with a flattering testi monial. On Friday he was confined to bod. but in the evening he got up to tea, and spent some time in the company of a few friends who stopped to converse with him. Next morning ho was seized with a slight fit of coughing at breakfast-time, broke a blood vessol, and ex pired. Dr. Saunders was his medical attendant.

THE MAIL STEAMER.

The P.M. e.s. City of Sydney had not been signalled up to the time at which wo went to press. She is now over-due, and should pat in an appearance very soon.

The sharemarkot is still very dull. Speculation in mining stocks is absolutely a dead letter.

Sir George Grey to-day inspected the designs for the Public Library and Art Gallery at the City Council Chambers, and appeared • highly pleased with Messrs Grainger and D'Ebro's design.

The natural increase of the wallabi at the Kawau is so great that, although last season upwards of 3,000 were killed, there is no apparent diminution in their numbers. A week or two ago a shooting party killed about 130 in three days. The Hon. Mr Kerferd, tho Victorian Attorney-General, and the Hon. D. Gillies, Minister of Railways for that colony, arrived here from the South by the s.s. Hawea yesterday. They have been "doing" Southern portion of the colony. Thoy leave for the Hot Lakes, via Tauranga, per s.s. Wellington this evening, and will return here overland, via Cambridge. They in tend stopping a few days in this city prior to finally quitting our shores for Melbourne. A rosy-faced boy of four summers, who gave his name as Sam Campton, was found wandering in Victoria - street this afternoon. He was kindly taken care of by the landlady of the Aurora Hotel for some time, and was then sent to the Police station. The nsarest approach that could be obtained as to his identity was his own statement that he purchased the family beer at Dunn's, and his own lollies in Union-street, and that his father was a carter. He was anxious to bo taken back _to tho lady who had been so kind to him. Pending the arrival of his parents, Sergt. Riely was told off to keop the child in good humour.

A man named Benjamin West was com mitted to Mount Eden for a term of imprisonment at tho Police Court this morning. The unfortunate man was in a most terrible state of filth, the vermin being so thick on his body that portions of his skin could not be seen. He was so dirty that the watchhouse-keeper was loth to put him in one of his nice clean cells, consequently, pending the arrival of the " Black Maria " {i.e., the prison van), the degenerate namesake of the great artist was «towed away in a corner of the Police Court alley, while several policemen, armed with brooms, kept Mr West's live stock from in vading other portions of the establishment.

"La Fillo dv Tambour Major " was per formed in the Opera House on Saturday nieht with excellent effect before a well filled "house." The principals were in good voice, and the leading numbers of the opera were enthusiastically encored, while the choruses and stage "business were executed with nice effect. -he piece grows upon one to such an extent that it might easily "run" for a week longer if the Company's arrange ments would permit it. As a music al composition, it takes decided^precedence over "Mascotte" and "Olivette, while, as for spectacular display, there is nothing in either of the latter works to match the triumphal entry of the French £.to MJan, as shown in "Tambour-Major.1 Stlin the other scenes they outvie it with glitter and gorgeousness of pageant and colour. It will be repeated to-night and to-morrow evening for the last times.
