COROMANDEL.

IFkom the Coromandel "Mail."]

1.10 weather being so exceedingly bad for the last week all out-door operations have been completely suspended, and until the roads get a little firmer there will be no possibility of getting any quartz to the mills. Of the work underground nothing of any importance has taken place; for months past nothing of any moment has occurred, but, like Macawber, we are waiting for something to turn up. The Mat awai still maintains the premier position. Tho stuff coming out is very good, but the work is carried on on a very limited scale at present, because there is no possibility of getting stuff crushed for some time to come and there is an enormous accumulation in the paddocks. Central : The Manager has started a drive to cut the Matawai reef which should be in hand in fifty or sixty feet, when it will bo thoroughly tested. Matawai No. 2 : The drive going on in Vaughan's Boundary is making good head way, and will give a fine back on tho reef. Vizard's has arrived at the shot of gold and is getting out fairly good stuff. We hope to see a good crushing from this mine before long. Mariebel : Work is being pushed on vigorously in this mine. There is fairly good stuff coming out; the battery will have an overhaul before the next crashing.

Matawai, No. 3. —The manager reports cutting the reef near the surfaco of the drive .supposed to be Vaughan's. It shows colours of Jgold in dish. Good prospects can also be got on the surface in the neigh bourhood.

Kai'ANGa.— There 13 a splendid reef in hand at the intermediate level (Scotty's reel), and the manager is very sanguine of getting payable gold. Couiiy.— The manager is pushing on the level on the main reef. The ground is splendid, and driving the whole distance should be accomplished in a few weeks. Tokatea.— The main level is still very hard, and there is no change to report. Royal Oak. —The drive is still going ahead in good country, and the reef looks first class. No gold has been seen lately.

J.ast oi' Mohicans.—Work has been pushed on in this mine lately, and prepara tions are well forward for having a crushing. Tho now reef is looking famous; themanager in getting it opened as quickly as possible.

Success. —This mine still looks very well, although very little gold is to hand for the past week.

Q.EEX OF ESOLAN'D.—-Tho di-VO tO Cut the reef is well advanced, and should do so shortly. Wo understand that this claim and the adjoining one—the New Colonial— have been amalgamated, which will make this a line property.

IMPORTANT BANKRUPTCY DECISION.

(BY TKLKOBArH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Du nedin, this day. In bankruptcy, Judge Williams gave an important judgment on the following ques tions in Guthrie's estate. The landlord had put in distraint for £400 due for two years' rent. The Act entitled the land lord to preference so far as six months were concerned, and the question was whether it was the intention of the Act to give only that preference, and to deprive the landlord of his common law right of distraint. Mr Woodhouse,'for the landlord, contended that it was the intention of the Legislature to make the landlord a preferential creditor. If the landlord's rights existing in common law were to be taken away, they must be taken away in a mannfer expressly provided. His Honor said—•" The right to distress is a common law right, and it exists so long as the term exists unless it is expressly taken away by Legislative enactment, and in order to ascertain if it is so taken away the Court would have to be satisfied. The intention of the Legislature was clear beyond all possibility of doubt. It is a well-known rule of the construction of statutes that common law rights are not to bo taken away by a side wind, but that if it be the intention of the Legislature to alter the common law, the intention must appear very clearly. Now, apart from section 121, there is no question at all but that the landlord's right to distrain is not taken away either ex pressly or by any indication at all reason able or otherwise. The only question is whether section 121 takes it away. Now section 121, for reasons which lam unable todivino at all, makes the landlord a, pre ferential creditor in respect to si* months' rent. It also allows'him to prav§ fa respect to rent accrued due beyond tie six months and then it goes on tp, say;— < It shall not be necessary iox a, landlord to coy a distress,1 That seems to me to simply provide that where six months' rent is due the landlord is to have absolute right to it as a preferential oreditor, without troubling himself to put in a distress for the amount. There is nothing at all in the section as I read it that forbids the landlord to distrain for any excess of rent due. The seotion, in fact, assumes that the landlord's right exists, and I think tho construction put upon it by botli the learned counsels is the corroct one, that the preference refers to six months' rent. It simply s.ys:—' It shall not be necessary in respect to this six months' rent for the landlord to exercise his legal right.' In the English Bankruptcy Act, and in the Debtors and Creditors Act, 18 jG. there are express provisions reen > biting and limiting the landlord's pov t 'n distrain. Of course, if there «•* ', * £LZ provisions regulating and 1--V '.t -^H'c -° than as they extend.™ ai, -'tln-, hl8P°wer is modified. In•', •"Bcom f m Anf l?iT "ght n-> »„-. . •'tlle present Act there are omif* provisions. They have been 1W _ed altogether by an oversight, and a^ unfortunate oversight. I think it is a very great pity that the Legislature should not have made provision for that particular case. However, my business is not to make the law, but to administer the law as it stands ; and as the law stands, I have no doubt at all about the matter that there is nothing in the Act to interfere with the landlord's common law right," Judgment* ftocorpipgly, ; * i

REUSING TO PROCEED TO SEA.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Dunedin, this day. At the Port Chalmers Police Court yester* day, three seamen of the barque Latona were charged with disobeying lawful commands. The barque was ready for sea, but they re fused to go until a new maintopsail was pro cured. The Bench said that as there was a fourth of the complement of tho crew, they under the 124 th clause of the Seaman's Act had a right to refuse to proceed to sea for such reasons, but it would have been much better if the complaint had been made before the vessel was ready for sea. The Bench had decided to appoint a competent sur veyor, and to decide on his report. If the complaint proved to be groundless, the accused would have to pay for the survey and for the detention of tho vessel. One of the accused was deputed to accompany the surveyor.

THE RINGAROOMA INQUIRY.

(by telegraph—press association.)

Ciiristciiurcii, this day. An inquiry into the accident to tho Einga rooma was held at Lyttelton to-day before Mr J. Ollivier, K.M. Captain Saunders and Mclntyro were nautical as. sessors. Voluminous evidence was take showing that when the ship struck she was going four or five knots, and should by reckoning have been twenty miles to the south and a little easterly of her real posi tion. She was so close to the land that a biscuit could hove, been thrown ashore, but the fog was so thick that the land could not be seen till a gust of wind slightly lifted the fog. After she struck, soundings were not taken, as tho captain had no doubt of hia position. There was scarcely any wind, no broken water, only a swell. The captain had at the time experienced an in-draught current, setting inshore, off Banks's Penin sula. Tho compasses appeared all right No grog had been used by the officers oi crew the night before the accident.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Tho Late Salvationist Vi„«____.,+ Unimportant 'f r nt£s.

(To. the Editor.) Sm,—As so many newspapers have taken the matter Of the elopement of my brother, V ictor H edingfield, and so many misstate ments have been made, perhaps a little truth, by way of a change, would not be amiss. Ido not wish to defend his heartless oonduct, but an article appeared in an Auckland paper which was decidedly incor rect in the majority of statements. That paper never mentioned he was in the height of delirium when he attempted self-destruc tion in Waikato. How quickly scandal flies, and how willing are people to exaggerate it I But how different it is if a man does a good action. My brother, although a powerfully-built and healthy-looking man, has been subject to very eevero atttacks of rheumatic fever. Our father died about 10 years ago, and it was shortly after this that Victor was seized with his first attack, and he was then advised a change of air. He determined to go to New Zealand, and was booked by a vessel which collidod in the English Channel and sank (cither the Forest or the Avalanche) with all hands but the state of his health did not warrant the voyage by that time, and he subsequently was a passenger by the ship Halcione. He, on arrival in Auckland went to work in the Waikato, where he was again attacked with rheumatic fever, and shortly after was sent to the Auckland Hospital. Prom the Hospital lie cama direct to Tauranga, and worked on th e "Bay of Plenty Times." He then wal-sect to Kapier, from whence he wont to Chrj.t.: churoh, and worked his passagehom'dtoEng-" land before the mast. In Englar.d he fell in love with and married a cousin, and returned with his wife to Napier. HU sequel in New' Zealand is known. My brother, when quite a boy, had a hand-ta-_o.nd encounter with a burglar in our house, but of course was no match, and \b§ "gentle stranger" got clear. I tdiuk. my brother's wife is one of; the b,eafc ar.d gentlest of women. Sheis Considered handsome. My brother has done some strange things, and I often think he is a little " peculiar," which I attribute to his many long and painful (I might say agonisi&g) illnesses.—l am, etc., Alex. Bedingfield, Tauranga, August 18, 18S4.

PAIN VANQUISHED.



'Glenmoro Road, Paddington. l.th January, 188_



Gentlemen,—Some few weeks since I was bo severely affected with indigestion as to render say rising each morning a mattor of difficulty. and pain on account of sovere pains in the back; and it had just become necessary for me to Uko a holiday from my work, for the performsnes of which I was by no means fit, wnen a friend mentioned to me the benefit he derived from the use of Hamburg Tea. In the hope of getting somo relief, I used it myself, the result being that I was myself in three or four days, and have not suffered since. My friends have idnsed me to write this for the guidance of others, and you are at liberty to make what uso you please of this. ' "Yours, "JOHN KELLY, j " Messrs Elliott Bros., Sydney." HAMBURG TEA.
