MEETING OF STEPHENSON'S CREDITORS.

It Is Determined not to Bring Him Back.

Thk creditors »f A. A. Stcphenson, builder, who levanted to Sydnoy by tho mail steamer on Monday morning, met je» er day afternoon to consider the position of affairs. There was a large attendance, and Mr E. Way mouth, representing Mitc.helson and Co., was voted ( to the chair. From a statement made by Mr Kanderaon, it ap peared that he had sold Stephenson's furni ture and property ob Aloui.t Eden, but so many orders had been issuea to tradesmen for portions of the proceeds that ho felt im polled to call the meeting, Stephoason, l.c said, had an interest in three allot ments at, Mount Eden, to the extent of £f>7 10s, but there was some dilii oulty as to title, and an interest in a house in Gladstone-street, which he had purchased at £625, and on which there was a mortgage of £">OO. A statement of liabiHtieH having been made up ly those present, the total was said to be £709 7s ;)d, but it ia understood that the "dear departed" is much more deeply involved.—Some discussion ensued respect ing tho course to bo pursued. The estate was understood to be of doubtful value, the Chairman saying he would not like to give Gd in the £ lor it.—Mr (tanner moved, and Mr William Kattray seconded, that Stephenson bo adjudicated a bank rupt, while Mr Smyth moved, and Mt-Tudo hope seconded that Htephenson be brought back.— The amendment was carried by 9 to 8 —The largest creditors voted against tho amendment? and several declined to contri bute towards the expense. -Tho Chair man promised to pee what could be done in the matter, and tho meeting tlion adjourned.—According to promiso, Mr Waymouth interviewed Superintendent Thomson to-day and laid the facts of tho cisc before him. The whole matter was discussed, and tho superintendent con sidered it impraoticablo under the circum stances to carry out the wishes of the creditors as expressed in the resolution. It is now understood that tho intenion of bring ing Stopbeneon back has been abandoned.
