Jamos Scott Ingram, in his. examination before the Official Assigneo this morning, w iil that ho was by profession a journalist, hu t ho had (ileo praoliscd as a surroyor. In Juno, 1883, he commenced Lnuhii^ here *, in cngineor and machinist under the .rvla of Ingrain and Co., his solo cental tjLa L'loo, which ho liad mado out of an uickland Directory, and though ho had re ■ iwrfthis sum for tho Directory, ho was Zonsiblo for £2:20 for its printing. He tTvo bills for the amount, whioh wero re n«wcd from' time to timo till April last, •hen they wore paid off. Hocnnied on the' Srtine-ui) of chocso factory apparatus in a ,'ul «y in Uizhfjcot till J.oocmbcr, |SS3 when, by tlie a.lvico of Crawford (Ins manager), ho took promises in Coburg .treot the lease having <U yours to run at , fSaVpor week, including tho use of some ' machinery, Masctield supplied CliiO worth o f niaclunory.for which ho paid i"7o cash and imlanco in bill-, which woro met. Up to A:)ril '81, he had supplied seven or eight chewo factory plants, which proved re mnnerativo. AH tho timo, though solvent, ho was hampered for tho want of ready n-onoy. I" m»10"i lsst> a morions illness incapacitated him for nearly a month, ilnri"" which time, without his consont, Crawford invited :i Mr I'lovo to bo a partner. Knew nothing of the pro j,,cdinc till tho deed of partnership waa placed before him for signature In consideration of receiving a half share Plove was to pay in £(>(IO or .t1i.50. nnd ho oxeeuted tho deed on tlieso condi tions. Subsequently, on tho undorstaniing i ,i, a t Crawford should pay him £3 10a until bo mado othor arrangements for ix living. Ho (Ingrairi) handed over the !;nlf-?h.iro to Crawford. Crawford, however, did not want to go on till October, sis ho was an uncertiticated bankrupt. When Octobor arrived he wanted Crawford to ndvortiao bim out of tho business, but was always put off, Ho (Ingram) always considered Craw ford a partner, though it had not been publicly announced. In addition to the business he had a half-Bharo in tho Wairoa South Dairy Factory, Ingram and Co. applying the material and labour at a cost of xl|6Uo, for which the firm have a claim on himself and the holder of tho other half share (Fox) of £800. Ho undertook to bo responsible for £750 of machinery for his half share, while Pox found £750 cash. About thrco weeks ago Fox ob tained judgment by default against J. S. Ingram and \V. W. Crawford, trading as J, Ingram and Co., for £300. He (bank rupt) also bad a third share in the s.s. Maori. The purchaso money was £630, his share being paid by a promissory note for £200 and balance in cash. Tho Union Bank discounted his P.N., and took a mortgage orer the vessel j £190 worth of work was done for the Maori by Ingram and Co., and this, together with £90 on promissory notes for part of the purchase money of the other partners, ia now owing to Ingram and Co. His partners abandoned the vessel, and when ha saw someone to take possession she was partially stripped. Bankrupt got her to work again, and she is now running. Six imontha ago ho got a second mortgage- of I £300 ovor the vessel, the money being Spat into the business of Ingram and Co. The present liability against tho vessel is about £500. Sho is worth £750. No books ffero kept up to April, ISB4, but after that date books wero kop^t. By tho ndvico of his solicitor he had ided, in his private capacity, an order that his connec tion with tho checso factory and tho s.s. Maori might bo dealt with ; othonviso hia private debts wero practically nil. Philip Campbell Hill Ulover, a partner in ' tho business, said he paid ill .ITiSu as a half share. Ifo mado no investigation into tiio state of tho business, but understood it was solvent.

OTAGO PRESBYTERIANS.

DuNEDIK, this clay, .Tin: loaders of cho Presbyterian Synod have evidently determined to coalesce with the ck-nominatiunalUta. Dr. Copoland said If

. it were found impracticable to seouro Bible, reading under the oxistinß system, thoy should earnestly sot themselves to securo de'.iomiuatioiKilisirj. Dr. Stuart announced bimsolfadeiiouiiiiationalist, and could never undorstand why tlio Synod was so loud against donominationalism. A great obstacle in tho way of introducing tho Bible into tho schools was that tlio Synod had gono dead against denomlnationalism in the fear that the denominational schools would become so numerous as to sw amp onr .national schoola. Ho had no such foar, and thought it was only fair that tho Koman Catholics, for instance, who wero paying taxes, and could not lot their children attend our echools, should bo allowed something for secular education in their schools. Ur, Macgregor entertained a strong conviction that the question should be made an impor tant one at tho Parliamentary oloctions. Mr Cargill did not quito approve of making it a test question, and requiring candidates to pledge themselves upon it nt elec tions. Such a course would tend to make their church in: a measure a political organisation. Mr Wild thought if it werd known that the Synod would go in for donominationalism if tho Bible wore not introduced to tho schools, it might do some good. Mr Waddoll was glad to sco they had reached tho logical conclusion of the matter. Thero was no halting placo botween the present system and denomir.ationaHsm. He did not think tho advantages of tho change would bo commensurate with its draw backs unless tho Biblo wero actually taught in school. Little good would result from morely reading it. At present, although tho system was secular the atmosphere of our school-rooms waa .saturated with roligious influence, and if the Church dorotcd itself to defending tho home life of the colony, it might bo better. Thore seemed to him no way out of the difficulty but denominationalism, and this would mean the disintegration of the pre sent system, and tho baro reading of the Bible only would ropay for the losa of this, in many respects, most admirablo system. Ilev, Mr Ryloy said if they could not got the Biblo in tlio schools, by all means go in for denomintitionalism aa a lesser evil.

At the meeting of tho Board of Educa tion this afternoon, the report of the. Committee re Mr Peacocko reported:— " Your Committee havo examined Mr Pcacoeko rvfe-artHng Us finnnoitil tranpac tions, and have requested him to furnish a statement of the expenditure for the past Iwo voai-. Mr I'euwcl; having filed a petition in bankruptcy, liv« tei'dered to I the committee the resignation of his appointment under tho Board.. Your com mittee suggested that h'u resignation should ptand over, pending further examination into his affairs." TJio report was adopted. According to Councillor Crowther, while tho older wards of tho city paid the pipor for our present water supply, the suburban wards are now dancing at the folly of the morennciont divisions. Thus warmly ex pressed himself the worthy representative of the East Ward during a heated discus sion last night, in the course of which invidious distinctions were being drawn between the city and suburban wards 'of tho municipality. It is rather late in the ■lay, however, for the expenditure upon the water supply* to be characterised as a folly. Cr. Garratt, in reply to Cr. Crowther, sarcastically remarked in rather homely language that-there was no need for tho oW cocks (i.c.-wards) to be crowing upon their dunghill, and recommended them to take n losscn from (hd'chftruoteriatio1 modesty o!
