THE NATIVE EJECTMENT CASE.

(BT TELEGRAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Cambridge, this day. The Sheriffs sale of Maori horses and effects, arrested out of Grice and Walker's ejectment case is causing considerable excitement this afternoon. A large com pany of Europeans and Maoris have assem" bled at Hunter's yard to witness the sale, Mr Hunter being salesman. Major Green is in watchful attendance. The case having been decided against the trespassing natives, a large number of their horse, were lately seized by the sheriff in satisfaction of Court costs, which are very heavy. Though a protest was entered on behalf of the natives yesterday by Mr W. M. Hay, solicitor, the sale is proceeding' and the price realised for the first animals put up are as high as was expected. The protest embraces all horses except about 15 on the ground that they belong jointly to rome non-intere9ted parties.

WAIKATO COAL COMPANY.

General Meeting of Shareholders.

The half-yearly meeting of shareholders in tho abovo Company was held yesterday Sir Frederick Whitaker presiding. F rom the annual report, which was submitted by Mr C. V. Houghton, Secretary, it appeared that the profit for last half-year, together with the balance at credit of profit and loss on 30th June, is £2,504 5s lOd Considering the short time the Company has been in operation, and tho large pre liminary expenditure, this is accepted as satisfactory. The amount paid for good will had been written off, and liberal pro vision mado for ordinary bad debts. There was a large debit to interest. The coal mine was now in excellent order, and capable of meeting a large demand Hitherto tho Company had only been supplying ooal to places on the Wai kato River, but arrangements were now completed for delivery of coals in the city and a contract made by which the Comp&uy will Bupply at Mercer one-half the coals re quired by the Government for the railway The directors expect their new steamer will arrive in March, when they will be enabled to meet the demand on the coast The Company's flour mill is in good order' while an interest has been acquired in the Waikato Timber Company. A share holder inquired why no dividend was to be paid, but it was explained that it wag considered more prudent to carry the balance forward and extend the business. The accounts showed that the trading account had yielded L 8.013 7s ; freights and passage money, L 5.378 9s lOd; coal mines, L 3.040 2s sd; rents, L 202 8s sd: Total L16.C34 7s Bd. The other side of the ledger showed steamer's working expenses, L 4.903 4s Id ; salaries, Sec, L 3.844 9s 4d • interest, L 1.367 17s; bad debts and provi sions, L923lGs ; goodwill, L1,4921753d; and other charges, making a total of L 16.634 7s Bd, less balance of L 2,504 5s lOd. Report and accounts wero adopted. Sir F. Whitaker and Messrs Lindsay and Souter re-elected directors, and Mr J. Waymouth auditor at a remuneration of 15 guineas.—This con cluded the business.

SUPREME COURT.-In Banco.

Yesterday.

(Before H. C. Brewer, Esq., Registrar).

Re Robert Thompson Graham, adebtor. —Application for discharge.—Mr Dewca moved for the order of discharge.—The re port of the trustee (Mr Thos. Macffarlane) wns as follows :—The debtor was, prior to 1882, at the diggings at Tiki and Te Aroha A working for wages. In September of that year ho broke his leg, and was, in conse quence, confined for nine months, and was dependent on his friends for sup port. Latterly he has been in the em ployment of Mr Pethcrick, contractor, at " Ss a day. His family consist of nine in all, aud, were it not for some assistance received from his friends, he could not have sub sisted on his wages. He was sued by two of his creditors, and this forced him to seek the protection of the Court.— Hia liabilities are £395 and his assets ara nil.— The small amount of furniture belonging to him, being under £25, canno. go touched. Por some time past he has beon living in and taking care of hia j brother's house and furniture while he was j ■ at Home, and that brother, to secure hia' own property, took a bill of sale over every, thing, so that the debtor's creditors might; not interfere with it. 1 am not avvaro of | nr^-hing to prevent the debtor getting his discharge. As the creditors had recom- _M mended the discharge, and the Chairman of their meeting had certified to that effect, * . the order was granted. This was all the businoss.

THE PRESBYTERIAN AS SEMBLY.

(by telegraph.— press association!)

Wellington, Tuesday. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian ' Church opened to-night. After publio 9 worship and dispensation of the Lord's I. Supper, the retiring Moderator, Rev. R. Som erville, of Auokland, constituted the As- i sembly. Owing to the death of the Secre- H tary, the Rev. J. Paterson was asked to I act as clerk until one was appointed. The changes that had taken place in the various Presbyteries were then read. Considerable I discussion took place on the question by tha --1* Rev. Mr Killen as to the right of the Rer. 1 David Sidey, Napier, who had resigned active duties in Hawke's Bay District, ■ but still was sent as minister of St. Paul's I Napier, to take part and vote in the As-. i sembly. After discussion the matter was - allowed to stand over until to-morrow. :' The retiring Moderator thanked the As4il sembly for the kindness" and forbearance As he had received at' their hands during his -i term of office, and then nominated ■ the Rev. Mr Doull, of Bulls, as -511 successor. This was seconded by Mr Sidey, and also seconded by Mr Killon, to prevent the Assembly from error until the affairs of Mr Sidey were decided. M»#l Doull thanked them for the high honourIi conferred upon him, and delivered an ad dress on "Some phases of thought in rela-' tion to Revelations and lessons to be'derive therefrom." Several business committees were appointed, and the Assembly adjourned until ekven o'clock to-morrow" morning.

• ■•' •• wwM_\ St. Jacob's Oil Invincible. (To the Editor of Evening StarJ " pM DeM SiJ.- 1 wish to add my testimony to the .SI efficacy of the groat German remedy, St. Jaoobi \m_ OIL I our columns have contained, from UmSjMM to time, expressions of gratitude from persOMM '"M known respectability, aiid having satisfied my<Ss3| soli of the genuinoness of the cureß effected, I _\ obtained a bottle, scarcely hoping it would mo- 1 oeed in relieving me. For the past seven ,1 months 1 have suffered severely from a pain- ' ful attaxsk of sciatica, which, in spite of the most ablo treatment on the part of my ineai- S cal adviser, continued to hold Its own innw I system. My sleep at last began to be afftotei and my whole Bystem very much reduced. ITifl ~~\ most careful treatment failed to give mo relief. ' i and l thon applied noarly every adverttoSJ ,'■■ H remedy. The ssiatica was principally located* i __ In my left thigh, and tho pain at! M fames was most excruciating. In spite of the'"-?.',! most thorough applications, and the great-'As| est care and attention on my part, 1 ob-f' .Us tainod no appreciable relief, and at last, asa- i forlorn hopo, I determined to apply St. Jacobs I Oil, and from that time tho pain began to |H diminish. My sleep soon returned, ana each ■In application afforded me relief. At flr_)t I W-91#§ garded the cessation from pain as Only a temporary one, scaroely daring to 'BtilJe.vsffl that the cure was complete; But I H^wHaH gratefully to acknowledge that I am 'now\;a||g free from pain—in faot, a man again. I' ' must confess that I tried the Oil in abso; lute despair. I had had no sleep for three or I four nights previously, and my system was very low. The suooess. however, is complete, and IJHH again tonder my grateful acknowledgments to r'f!i the proprietors of tho Oil, and shall ever eontina* 1 to recommond it to every sufferer who oomM Bj within range of my influence. What medical . $ skill failed to do St. Jacob's Oil effcoted, and I _\_\ regard it as the greatest boon of the age, '''fag I am, dear Sir, . *.S Yours faithfully. JOuJN liEE* - '•!
