Tho Chairman :—Gentlemen,— In moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet for the year just closed, I would refer to one or two items of special interest to you. Tho lire at Mechanics' Bay in July last, caused a loss of L 16.951, of which L 5.651 (fell on the Company. Tho insurances were L8,300j nnd the amount was limited only by our inability to get cover. Tho firo lt> self was duo to no lack of means for fire pre vention, or from inattention on the part of the staff. Tiie precautions against lire had from time to time beau added to, and were even in process of perfecting ; and ithe bost possible ovidonce of the e/iiciency flf tliefie efforts is the fact that during tho year before tho fire the rate of insurance had been towered one per cent in recognition ol the improved risk. Your directors lost »o time in meeting, as far as possible, by temporary means, the manufacturing en gagements on hand; afld, by energetic efforts, the temporary factory began work within six weeks after the fire, and tho busi ness is still being run in this form wjth satisfactory results. Tho question of per manently re-occupying our position as imaaufacturers has had the long andanxioi.s (ConsSuieration of tho Board. Shortly after the fire, negotiations were opened for thfi vacation o. the leaseholds with tho Harbour jßoavd, and are still ponding ; but your directors do not, »ijder any circumstanci s anticipate that the fire will havo prejudicial effects beyond the loss now submitted. The futu re is sufficiently cneouragingtoenablcmo to express tlio hope, amounting almost to a certainty, that tho dividend-earning ability pf the Company will prove unimpaired. The decision to limit our business ir\ Auck land to wholesale lines lias had a gratifying ■vindication in the large and increasing Irade being done in cargoes for direct delivery to customers. In the introduction of this system your directors claim that, while benefitting the Company, there has been accorded to c mrtomers distinct ad vantages in cost and facilities, which they have not been slow to recogr,t;(3, Next to the consideration of these important matters I refer to the business of the past year. It has been on a basis fully maintaining our trade. Unfortunately, owing to increased eoropetition through over-production in some quarters, and tlio necessity that arose to realise on their large stocks of .logs, ihs prices have not maintained the standard they were at when your directors last met you.- lam of opinion that the was unnecessary and injudicious, and I twljove it, will be merely temporary. At the same time, we find the Australian market largely overstocked with Baltic and American pro duct. (Mw, and allowance is necessary in our anticipation of quickened demand for tji/i .ibso. ption a . these over-importations. In Australia—owe of the chief outlets for kauri—it is a matter of congratulation that the "U.S.D," brand has gained the strongest possible testimony to its high standard of quality by the fr/oroasing demand for it by architects and bubdej-s, and this I consider a source of congratula tion. In submitting for your approval a dividend of six shillings, per fully'paid-up Share on the capital of tho Company, which with the interim dividend already paid makes the dividend for the year equal to 12s per fully paid share—equivalent to 12 per cent, per annum on the capital—l will shortly explain your directors' motives jguiding them to this recommendation. During the last three years, our existence as a kauri-producing Company has been indefinitely prolonged by the judicious purchase of large bushes. Tho purchases wero only partially met by the new capital, necessitating the incurring of obligations which I am pleased to say aro now being reduced from month to month. .For having reoourse to the latter assistance there were two reasons —one, that it would bo very unwelcome to draw on our share holders during the recent stringency of money ; the other, that we were very un willing to create capital which could not bo immediately incorporated into the dividend earning department of the Company ; for it must be borne in m ind that bushes bought for fut«re uso are for the time dead invest ments, although necessary j>od desirable, and increasingly valuable, regarded merely as investments, but in tho meantime throwing an increased strain on the un work ing capital. To wipo off this liability your directors recommend tho temporary limita tion of the dividend, and I am sure you will concur in the wisdom of this policy. With respect to the fire loss of £8,651, it may perhaps bo thought an undue tax on this year's work to write off tho entire sum, but your directors havo come to the decision that it is better to do so, and if vindication of our prudont policy were wanting, it would receive ample, justifica tion in the fact that that policy has secured to you a fund of undivided profits—far more than sufficient to meet such an unex pected and regrettable loss, without inter ference with the payments of the half yearly dividends. The facts put before you, gentlemen, give a fair indication of tlie sound position of the business you have en trusted to our care. That position your directors hope-, and I may say, anticipate with certainty—not only to maintain but to improve, and speaking from an intf- Hjate knowledge pf the Company s affairs extending over many years, I do not hesitate to say that you have a property which has attained the premier position in the colonies guaranteeing an uninterrupted run of prosperity. This prosperity may vary as circumstances alter ; but as the march of colonisation proceeds, w.o shall find in the - increased outlet the means to realise the valuable property accumulated through Ipng years of watchful forethought. Mr G. S. Kissling seconded. Jvjr Boardman moved as an amendment, f < That the dividend be at the rate of 9s per fully paid-up share, for the six months end ing the 31st December, 1883." His reasons were that tho money had been Oarhed during the half-year, and that the directors' pro posal to wipe oijt an abnormal loss through the'year's earnings was radically wrong jn principle, arid opposed to the practice pf Rompanies in general. They should rather meet thp loss oijt of the Reset. o Fund, which S?as the accumulated result of their absten tion during years of prosperity. Major T. sdalj, seconded tho amendment, and in doing so attributed the decline in value of the shares to the irregularity of the dividends. The amendment was then negatived. Mf Ufton also objected to tho mode of charging the amount of loss by the fire, A discussion ensued, in tho course of which the Chairman and Mr Kissling gave the assuranco that the directors intended to acquire no further property. The report and balance-sheet wero then

adopted. . ' ! On the motion of Mr Seymour George, M.H.R., seconded by Mr J. L. Wilson, Mr .WiHiam Ware was re-elected a director.

Messrs John Buchanan and D. G. Mac- Donnell were reappointed auditors nt the same remuneration as last year, viz., £50 each.

On the proposition of Mr Seymour Geoeok, M.H.R., seconded by Mr David Nathan, a vote of thanks was passed to the directors, which the Chairman duly acknowledged. This was all the business.

SMALL CUTTER RACE.

A sweepstakes sailing raco for £5 a side commenced this afternoon between the cutters Mahurangi, Henry, Eupheniin, and Gannot. The course lay from Queen-street wharf past Brown's Island, round the Sisters (oIF the Watchman) and back to the point of starting. Captain .1. Mc- Konzio sent the vessels away at a quarter past 12, with an excellent Hying start. The llaiinet got first underway, and sho was followed by the Mahurangi and Henry abreast, with thoEuphcm last. Therowas, howevor, very little difference between them When off the Railway Wharf the gall' top sail of the Gannet carried away, but was soon fixed again. On the run down the harbour, the Mahurangi steadily crept ahead, with tlio other throe well together. They passed tho North Shore Wharf in the following order:— Mahurangi, Gannet, Henry, and Eupliomin. There was no al teration in the positions to tlio light-house, the four vessels keeping in a cluster. When noaring Brown's Island tlio Mnhuranga be gan to improvo her position and passed that point first, Henry and Gannet together, with Euphemia last, and well to leeward. The Mahurangi, Gannot, and Henry passed out of sight round the N.E. end of Brown's Island in the order written, the first-named having a lead of about 30 yards. Tlio Euphemia did not follow the others, but kept straight on towards Motuilii. The Gannot Ashore. Tlio Mahurangi led nil the way down to the Sisters. The second boat, which is believed to bo the Gannet, went too close and ran on a rock with all sail. The vessel struck the rock very hard, as she was going with a fair brooze. Tho other vossels went on. The stranded vessel is hard and fast on nn isolated rock almost a quarter of a mile from Wailieke. At four o'clock tlio Mahurangi was off Maraetai in the leading position, the second boat, which is believed to bo tho Honry, about a mile bohind. Tho Euphemia is not in sight. On the Gannet they made several attomps to float the vessel, but without success. At four o'clock sho was still ashoro. The Gannet is owned by Duder Bros., Devonport.

DISTRICT COURT.-This Day.

(liefore His Honor Judge Smith.) Dkferked Judgments.

Caleo Wood v. John Graydox, claim £l!-l '._ 10s.—Mr S. Hesketh fqr the plaintiff, and i Mr Theo. Cooper for tlie defendant.—His ( Honor said that this was an action to recover : rent which was due on tho. strength of thp hiring of a half-share in a boat of which j plaintiff' and defendont woro joint owners. . Ho thought the ovidenco showed that tjip I whole of tlio rent was recoverable. Ho was • not satisfied that the evidence adduced established tho existence of any custom that i rent should not bo recovered when tlie boat ' was not actually in work. Ho con cluded therefore that the whole of tlie rent was recoverable, so tbst the only question remaining for consideration was whether tlio set-off should bo allowed. Objection had been raised to it on the ground that it i sj'as a partnership transaction, and that therefore tlie Court had no right to enter tain it. There was nothing to take tlie . matter out of the view that it was a partner- ! ship in common. The expenses, therefore, [ incurred on behalf of the boat ought, clearly to be aUojj-.cd. TJtie other item of set-off — viz., a claim for a .contribution in respect of damago paid in OQt)..G<}u.en l cc of i> collision —clearly camo within the scope of $. set-off, and therefore would be allowed. As to the j costs certain reductions had to be made on JSjie claim, and after allowing for them ho • >youid give judgment for tho plaintiff for £3 ss. No cgst/. were allowed. I Creditors' Tkimtei; ?x Thomas's Estate I V, Cohen. —Claim, £'100.—-Mr Brussey for ! plaintiff; Mr Theo. Cooper for' dei'onijant. ; —.His Honor said that in this case the ques tion really was one .of the construction of ' two Acts of Parliament, no facts being jn . dispute between the parties. After care-: fully considering the 'matter, he had come j to tno conclusion tljat the Chattels ; Securities Act was to be rwi jn tjjo light of the Debtors and Creditors Apt ■ of 18C0. In this case no question hod arisen as to the bona fules of tlio bill of sale, and therefore there was no I question whether it ought to bo set aside. Tlie only question, then, for con sidfißjtion, was whether, at tlie time of bankruptcy, the goods which formed the subject of the ciaiiji, and which the defen dant seized, Were in tho {-^session, or appa rent possession, of the debtor. If tlie time . of bankruptcy meant the time of granting the order of adjudication, they wove hot in i the debtor's pqsse^sign, because the grantee of the bill of sale had previously taken pos session, His Honor then showed by authority feat the time of bankruptcy was t^3 r )ti«fc3 of adjudication,'and not j merely" the time Qt flljng the dec .n-; ration of insolvency. He held, therefore, that as the grantee of the b.lj .pf ' gt^ had seized the debtor's goods some two or three clays before the adjudication, the trustee liad bo claim to them.—Judgment was con sequently gjven for tlie defendant with £5 J6s costs.—Mr Bfijssey Kave notice of ap pal BOTOK.UA leases. Tolf. y, Q_fSS9. — Claim, £97 10s. Mr Button, for plaintiff; Messrs B, Hesketh and Cotter for de fendant,—His Honor said that this action was brought to recover rent alleged to be due on a lease made between an aboriginal tribe (the Ngatiwhakaue) as lessors, and the defendant as lessee of certain lands devised to tlie defendant for 99 years. The de fendant contended that the lease was void, and in support of that contention raised four objections to the lease, two of which were as to its form, and two as to its sub stance. The first of the former was that the lease had not been properly attested in accordance with the Con veyancing Ordinance, and tho second, that it had not been duly oxecutod by plaintiff in pursuance of '■' The Thermal Springs Act, 1881." The objectoins as to substance were:—(l) That tho lessors wero not a corporate or quasi-corporate body as a tribe Buch as that named in tho lease, and (2) that the lease did not comply with tho provisions of " The Thermal Springs Act, 1881," and that those defects were not cured by the Amendment Act of 188.., The first objection was overruled, and the second boing left in aboyance, IJis Honor held tlie third one to be fatal. It was quite clear that a tribe was neither a corporate nor a quasi-corporate body, for if the Legis lature had intended it to be eithor, tho intention would not have been left tp inference, but would havo bpen expressly stated. Tho use of the words " native pro prietors" in tho Act fortified tho opinion that there was no intention to incorporate the tribe, He therefore hold that the deed was a bad one There was no need to der cido the 4th objection, therefore, seeing that the defendant was entitled to succeed upon the third one, —- Mr Button said that ho had bpen instructed to give notice of appeal, but he doubted whether it ,wo»fd be- continued. Judgment-si was also given for defendant's costs, wi..jh wore assessed at £3 17s.^ As this was a test case, >j(r S. Ilesketh, on behalf of the defendants in thp other p/jsps, asked that thoy should bo struck out.— Mr Button consented, and the cusps were ■ accordingly struck out. Mowbray v. Bi;ckland—.Claini, £60. —Mr : Theo. Cooper for thpplaintiff,MrE. Hesketh (instructed by Mr Browning) for J>ho defen [ dant. His Hojjor said that the c/aim in this action was substantially one for d/atinjip of a horse which had bee?? pu£ iip to auction by the defendant, and soid to the plaintiff, in ignorance of the fact that the owner of the lot (Mr Ghadwick) had sold it priyately the evening previously to _a >I'r Glover. The plaintiff however insisted On ' the completion V his purchase, and ' tendered his money, but delivery Was re- Wed. His' Honor considered that Whaf -1 . ever right of action the plaintiff had against ! tho defendant the present kind of action could r.Qt'be brpught. The horse passed to Glover by private sale before the auction, 1 so that as a matter of fact tho original owner had it not in his power thei) to ottejf it so that the right to possession never accrued to the plaintiff. The plaintiff must there fore fail. It was quite jiassible tfiat thp defendant might be responsible elthfi. in ftp, notion for non-delivery of goods according • to contract, or in an action for a breach of implied warranty of title, but not fn this action,--Mr Cooper therefore accepted a , nonsuit.

SAILING BOAT RACES.

Thk owners of the twenty-feet open sailing boats Dream and Transit met at tho oflico of Mr Waymouth, senior, this morning, and arranged that a match for between £30 and £40 aside between these two boats take place on Saturday. Mr Waymouth agreed to act as starter and umpire. Final arrange ments were not made, but it is understood that the event will bo a tlntee-coursc match —one contest to take place each day, the best out of the three to win. The caurse will most likely be: From Queen-street "Wharf, round tlie pilot schooner, round the hulk Clara Margraves and back to tlio point of starting. The owner of tho 10ft open boat Vie lias challenged the Ely to race on Saturday afternoon, but this will most likely result in tho arrangement of a sweepstakes open to all boats of that class.
