Neither the Cunard nor the Orient, both apparently most prosperous ' companies, have been able to pay a dividend, and (bar the P. and O.) nearly all the lesser Indian, China, and Australian companies are doing badly. Messrs Shaw-Savill cer tainly surprised their shareholders by an nouncing 10 per cent., but the general opinion in the city is that the step was scarcely justified. The Chairman of the Orient Company, speaking at the general meeting last Friday, .admitted that things were unsatisfactory, but at tributed their small profits rather to the Binking of tho Außtral than to increased competition. He believed, how ever, that last year was one of a very excep tional character, and that it was matter ot congratulation that the state of things was not worse than had actually been the case. The Company had entered into a charter for the conveyance of mails to N.S.W., and hoped to realise an income of £25,000. An arrangement had also been made for tho conveyance of Government emigrants to Sydney and special steamers would bo chartered for the purpose. Captain Mur doch, late master of tho Austral, opined that tlie Co. had not written off enough for depreciation of the fleot, and contended that the contract for conveying emigrants would probably result in losa rather than profit. The Rev. Mr Loverock, Mr Robinson, and Mr Bates, having addressed the meeting, the Chairman said he was awaro that dissatisfaction had been expressed at the non-publication of the accounts, but shareholders must remember they were engaged in a keen competition with rivals, and if they did so they would be showing their hand. Any shareholder could, however, examine them. AVith regard to stores, they were all ten dered for, and consequoutly purchased nt the lowest possible rates. ,- Companies' Meetings.

At the general mooting of the share holders of the Orient Company last Fri day the Chairman said the accounts were not so satisfactory as usual. After credit ing the profit and loss account with the commission, and furthor crediting it with £4 469 for a return of those commissions voluntarily made, there remained a credit balance of £6,598, which it was proposed to nlace to the reserve, thereby raising that fond to £125,000. No dividend was do- C At the annual general mooting of the British and Australasian Trust and Loan Company, held at 68, Cornhill, the other day It was announced that the profits for the year amounted to £24,909, out pf which o 10 per cent, dividend would bo declared, leaving £1,925 to be carried to next account. The Chairman said that since tho formation of the Company the capital had been doubled, and the debentures increased Irom £799 600 to £902,600. The reserve fund £d been increased from £33,000 to £82,000, principally invested in British Government securities. Sir Charles Clifford seconded the adoption of tho report, which was car riod unanimously. The Australian Mortgage Land and Finance Company had a very satisfactory general meeting the other day. The Chair man, after announcing that they had been able to add £25,000 to tho reserve, declared a dividend of 10 per cent., with -an additional bonus of 10s per share, which was equal to a dividend on the capital of the Company of 20 per cent. It was re solved to raise the capital of the Company to £400,000, increasing the directors re muneration by £1,000 a year, and altering Se mode of paymeut of dividends . Mr Richard Gibbs was re-elected a director, and Mr John Young auditor. Frozen Mutton. The " Pall Mall Gazette" and " Ladies' Pictorial" have both contained interesting letters on the subject of New Zealand frozen mutton during the past week. The latter was" from a dolighted housewife who had just discovered tho cheapness and excel lence of the meat. "It is really, she says, "wonderful how ultra-Conservative the people of England are, oven when Conser vatism touchts their pockets ! Here is an example: tfew Zealand meat is to be pro cured in almost every place, but because Enclish people have not yet discovered how good ik is they Btill go on paying the Fuinous prices they arc charged by their own butchers, notwithstanding the remedy "is in their-own hands.

LICENSING COURT.

PITY KAST.

East Licensing Court was opened at 2 o'clock this afternoon in the presewtfoTa good attendance of the public. Superin tendent Thomson represented the poljce, I and Mr Thos. Cotter appeared for the Licensed Victuallers' Association. The following buglnetis was done •.— BBVEWAIS.

"lambing down" brought against the licensee, for taking £150 out of a Whang anui settler during a continued carouse extending over three weeks, had been heard in Court that day, and although he suc ceeded in making out a strong prima facie case, the charge was dismissed upon a technicality. It would have been fairer, and far more satisfactorily for the defen dant's counsel to have relied simply upon the merits of the case. As things had resulted, he was not yet prepared to say whether or not he would bring the same case again in another form) therefore he would not ask the Bench for a further adjournment.—Mr Cotter pointed out that both charges brought against Mr. Adams had failed upon being tested in Court, and as the police was not unfavourable to the house, while no convictions had been recorded against the licensee, he confi dently asked for a renewal of the license. — Mr. E. Hesketh also spoke in support of the application, pointing out that the renewal of the license need not deter Superintendent Thomson from bringing any further prosecution that seemed to him fit, and that, therefore, another adjournment of this application was uncalled for, while the police also did not ask for it.—Mr Otter mentioned that Mr Adams had been conducting hotels in the city for the lost 15 years, and that this was the first time on which objection had been made to the renewal of his license — The Chairman said that that the newspaper reports had been suffi cient to justify the Bench in adjourning the matter for full consideration. Although the cafei brought into Court had failed, it had been shown in evidence that men had been allowed to gamble in the house cutting cirds for half-a-crown a cut. He had also heard the cose which was tried in Court that day, and a grosser one had never come within his cognisance. As the other mem bers of Committee wished to peruse tho ovidence at their leisure, they would adjourn the application, at the same time intimat ing that in their opinion Mr Adams's management of Ins house was improper, and that he was not a fit person to hold a license. The Bench would be guided in these matters by their common sense, and not by the technicalities which obtained in the Court.—The application was then ad journed till Tuesday next, at 2 o'clock. Queen's Head Hotel : Hugh Mcllhone. —Mr Cotter asked that tho license should be renewed on the same condition as that on which tho license of the Provincial Hotel had been renewed. Although the licen see did not deny that he hod infringed tho law by Sunday tradfng, yet ho was not so guilty as some others. It v, oul 1 be far more advisable not to adduco ovidenco on either side, as it would servo to disclose matters that were better allowed to remain undis closed. This was the last case in which Sunday trading was involved, and a little lenity might well be ex ercised by the Bench.—Tho Chair man said that it was painful for him to administer robuke, as it was altogether contrary to his nature, but still he felt impelled to say that no person in the place had so flagrantly violated all sense of propriety. The Bench were then treating him with marked leniency in placing him in the same category as other delinquents. It-was absurd to admit any doubt as to the object, which too 600 people into his house within one Sunday. It wrß thought that Mr Mcllhone had acted with the greater boldness in this matter from the let: that he had a good house at his back and also from his position as Chairman of the Licensed Victuallers' Association. The Bench, howorer, warned him not to venture too far. In the present case the license would only >c. granted on the clear understand ing that if evidence was forthcoming of further improper conduct in connection with this house, the license would be with held at the next quarterly Court dny by virtue ,of the 16th clause of the Act. A conviction would not be waited for. Tho owner of the premises should lusk to it, so that his house should not be endangered. Vindication of thb Police.—Superin tendent Thomson took occasion to re fute the charge of remissnees often made against the police. He affirmed that they were most active in the matter of " the licensing laws, but they laboured under extreme difficulties in ecuring conviotions.—The Chairman ad mitted the fact, and also remarked that he publicans were the sharpest class of tradesmen in the city. • HOTEL LIOHT3. The Chairman announced that the Bench had decided, in common with the City South Bench, not to dispense with any of the hotel lamps after 10 p.m., as the city was already insufficiently lighted at night. The Court then adjourned.

ALLEGED "LAMBING DOWN" AT THE SWAN HOTEL.

Extraordinary Evldonoo.

At tho Polioa Court to-day, before Mr Both Smith, R.M., John Adams, licensee of tho Swan Hotel, was summoned to answer to three charges under tho Licensing Act:-(1) With selling liquor to Thomas Josoph Franks, whilo Franks wasin a atato of Intoxication, (2) with en couraging and inciting tho said Thomas Josoph Franks to drink, and (3) with permitting drunkenness to lake placo in tho Swan Hotel. Superintendent Thompson represented who tho polioe, conducted the prosecution, and asked that the due, on or about tbe 10th May, might be inserted in tho information. Ho listed to tako tho first case, and stated the cir cumstances which will appear in evidence. Mr Thompson said some remarks had boon made upon the action he had uik«n in this case. He had dove nothing more than his duty in bringing forward this case for investigation, and it now remained for defendant to clear himself from tho charges.

Thomas Joseph Franks deposed that he oamo from Wanganui to Auckland in May laat. Ho first went to Mr Qleeson's, but was too late. He then asked Clarke, the cab-driver, to drive bun him to some hotel where he could got ac commodation, and lie was driven to the Swan Hotel. He had some loose cash in his pocket, and a deposit receipt for £250, tho balance or a legacy from his uncle (Colonel Franks.) He told Mr Adams that he. wanted Borne money, and exhibited tho recoipu Adams, on seeing it, said, " Sear me, have you been travelling about with this In your possession !' Tbe deposit was on tho Colonial Bank at We.' ngannL Adams took him to tho Colonial Bank anil went Into tho bank by himself. Ho got £00 from Adams on the Monday, and said ho was going to Papakura, and would give him tho balance. Got £20 more irom him.and lie wanted a clean receipt. Ho was drinking at tho time, and was bo ill ho thought ho was going to die. Was under medical treatment for a time. Ho was drunk for tea or twelve days, and was con stantly supplied with drink 1* defendant and his man. Was never refused drink (brandy and champagne). Mr Thompson: Very nice drink. Mr Cotter: Does Mr Thompson apeak from oxperiencs ( Witness: Did not remember being knocked about. Was nevor refused drink until after tho doctor had teen him.

By Mr Cotter : Nover broke out before coming to Auckland. Mr Adams was a stranger to him. Did not direct the cab driver to drive par ticularly to the Swan. Had been drinking that ovoning, but came to bis senses when bis pocket was empty. Had a glass of brandy at the Nevada, and got the cab there. Thought Mr Adams's bill was oxtortlonate. His bill amounted to £147 10s. Ho could not re lr.embor endorsing the deposit receipt, nor could ho swear to the dale. Received some small amounts reaching to £18 or £20 from Mr Adams. He signed receipt for £150 on oondition that he got the £100. Adams promised to settle up on the Monday. He would swear distinctly that ho did not refuse to take the money from Adams, nor did ho say " Keep it, the money had better bo loft in your hands." Did not deny his receipt for t2O. Mr Adauis expatiated on the great expenses he had been at In accom modating him. He would swear ho did not shout champagne to Mr and Mrs Adams, and did not express his utmost satisfaction. Mr Adams shouted when ho got him to sign the deposit for £ISO, He appeared delighted (mur mups in Court). Did not believe that Adams Kayo him llmejuice for brandy. £14 were paid for his cub. Wai suffering all the time he was at Adams's from iho effects of drink. By Mr Thompson: His bill amounted to £117 IDs. Received 50« in change. Gave Adamstfco deposit receipt for £160. Was charged £9 for a mattras . Watting was the man about the house. Ho might have treated Watting for looking after him. Was positive that Adams shouted champagne when ho got the deposit rBJoh Pn Clarko, in the employ of Mr Quick, gave evidence of a corroborative character. He drove Franks to the Swan Hotel, and after wards drove him and Adams to the Union Bank. Also drovo them out to Mangere. Adams called Franks a " soakor." Mr Thomson: that moans a flat, I presume. Witness; Yes. ratfior soft, like Franks. Mr Adams said he would bo obliged to get someone to stop with Franks: he scratched his face until it bled in fighting with the mosquitoes. Mr Quick's bill oame to £16, or thereabouts. When Franks was getting round, Adorns said to witness, " You must take nim out and make him drunk; wo oan do nothing with him otherwise." Franks was constantly supplied with drink by Adams when in a state of intoxication. By Mr Cotter: Mr Adams, was looking out for himself, and so was he (wltnoss). Ho was not turning upon Mr- Adams. Ho was rimply speaking the truth. Wit- Sess then deaorlbod the Sunday rldo irough Onehunga, Mangore, and Otahuhu. Thoy had something to drink at.tho Criterion. Mr Adams had asked him to put a customer in his way whon he saw a chanoa. He con sidored the Swan a quiet place. Mr Thomson said he would withdraw the other two charges. Mr Cotter addressed the Benoh, and without going into details, said nothing had been adduced in evldonce to show that the Act was in operation, and that Adams was a licensed inn-koeper under the act He would ask there fore that the oaso bo dismissed on theße grounds. His Worship ruled that the objections were fatal, and dismissed the case.
