G. S. JAKINS'S BANKRUPTCY.

The Debtor's Sworn Statement.

Mr. G. S. Jakins was examined upon oath yesterday afternoon by the OiEeia] Assignee in Bankruptcy. Re deposed that he had trailed in the city as a grain and produce merchant since the year 1867. This was the first occasion on which he had been in difficulty. In January, 1880, he made arrangements to transfer his Auck land business to his son, 0. V. Jakins. Every asset, except the proceeds of sale of the dwelling-house and furni ture,- and the interest in the barque Notero, was left with his son, though no legal form of transfer was made. in August, 188b\ debtor opened a grain and produce business there in company witli Mr E. I). Wilcox, mutually agreeing upon a partnership without legal form. He put into the business £800—mostly in short dated bills—with his interest in tho barque Notero (two-thirds). The earnings of the vessel wero reserved for the benefit of G. V. Jakins, with whom an understanding was come to that Jakins and Wilcox should have the preference in supplying him with grain and other produce. For the first nine months all went well with both businesses From thattime bhe firm of Jakinsand Wilcox had to help G. V. Jakins, and the advances becamo frequent, until in April they amounted to -1,200. Tho debtor then came to Auckland, and took charge of the lattor's business on his son's assurance that it was doing well and only needed capital, and the firm of "Jakins and Son " was established. He had had full confidence, in his sou's statement, and did not examine the books, nor make any endeavour to ascertain the true financial position of the bijsinejes until a failure occurred in which the debtor's firm was interested, when a balance-sheet was prepared, which showed a deficiency of £250, after allowing for bad debts. About this time a bill of Jakins and Son was dis honoured through a mistake, and the news of this went throughout the colony, creat ing an unfavourable impression and greatly to the detriment of tho firm's credit. Shortly afterwards a meeting of credi tors was called, when a statement of affairs was laid before them, no offer, however, being made. The majority were in favour of investigating the books, as suggested by the debtor, but one of the principal creditors demanded that the Bankruptcy Court be entered, and on the 18th inst. debtor filed a petition in in solvency. He withdrew from the Christ eburch partnership in July, 1887, with a balance in his favour of about £179. With a portion of this money, several private accounts had been paid. Mr Jakins, jun., left Auckland by the San Francisco mail steamer, so fai ns could be ascertained, on the 15th inst., and unknown to anyone. To his wife he had stated Honolulu-as his destination, but in a letter to himself (Mr Jakins) his son simply stated that ho gone abroad. The accounts and balance-sheet lire pared under the bankruptcy provisions were substantially correct; but debtors knowledge of the accounts was very limited. Money had been lost through bad debts, Sydney consignments, loss of rent, and extravagance on tjic part of debtor's eon. The business balance-sheets for four years from 1882 to 1885 showed average profits of £1,174 per annum. The present liabilities on tho estate were:—Secured, £6,977 4s 7d; unsecured, £6,199 6s; con tingent, £7 6s 7a. Assets : Stock-in-trade, £1.737 17s 4d ; two-thirds interest in steam launch, L_3 lis 5d ; book debts, £2,682 0s 10d'(estimated to produce -2,200).; cash in hand, £45 lis Gd ; bills receivable, £281 Is 6d; household iun.itm'e, L 10 0; surplus from securities in the hands of secured

OUR GOLDFIELDS.

(BY TKLEGBAPH-OWJ* COTCRES. Oi«D-VA) i PAT.-OA, Saturday. Is the course of his address to the elector-, here on last Thursday evening, Mr James | Miickay made a statement wliich I think! deserves to be brought prominently hefo1 -* | our legislators. When dealing with thtrxi subject of developing our mineral resources* j he said that if one-tenth of the money that has been expended in opening up so-called agricultural lands by means of roads and railways had been de voted to the advancement of the mining industry, the present depression would not be so general throughout the colony. Here tofore,' each successive Government had been legislating* for tho colony os if it* staple industry was agriculture, whereas in reality New Zealand is a mineral country pure and simple, and Jtbere_t.ro it is to the unearthing of its mineral wealth that we miist look for a return of prosperity, j That there is. more in this statement than would appeal' at rirst .glance may be gathered from tho fact that the land suit able for either agricultural or pastoral pur poses is a mere, bagatelle when compared with the surface area occupied by tho mineral belts of country which traverse j both islands of tho colony, and the sooner our rulers realise the fact, and exer cise their legislative functions accordingly, | ! the better it will be for all concerned.

Owhakoa, Saturday.

The 35-ton parcel of crushing dirt treated : last week for Turner and purby,_ tribnters in the Smile of Fortune mine, yielded BiO ounces retorted bullion, value 49s per ounce, and they are now breaking out, another lot from wliich they expect as good if not bet' tor results. Frierson and party, tri Im tors in the same mine, cleaned up at the Company's battery yesterday for a re turn of ?>7 ounces retorted bullion.being the product of treating 12 tons of general crushing dirt, and there is more of the same class ready for breaking-out. Green ville and party, owners of the Mo and itowo claim, aro making good headway with the work of extending.their crosscut, which is now in a distance of 250 ft, and they expect to meet with one of the lodes for which they are driving every shift. Wathi.—The crosscut going west from the main adit levol lias now beon advanced about 50ft from the starting point, and the manager expects to meet with the main lode within the next ten feet of driving. The different parties of tribnters in the Martha Mine are now keeping sixteen head of stampers fully employed in the reduction of quartz from their sections,and the stuff is all shaping for remunerative returns.

Ka-ANoaiiake, Saturday.

Railey's plant made a start on 'Monday last to reduce quartz for the proprietors of the Monastery mine. The parcel to bo dealt, witli upon this occasion amounts to about 40 tons, and if it proves payable, there is enough of the same close in sight to keep the mill fully employed for some time to come. It is stated that, the owners of the Mammoth mine have agreed to ac cept the terms offered to them by asyndi cate of English capitalists, namely, to spend £5,009 in prospecting the mine before float ing it as a company with sufficient capital for itsthorongh and systematicdevelopment. Heitman and party, tribnters iv the Wood stock tninc, have about '25 tons of quartz to grass, and judging by the amount of gold showing in the stone, they should get a good return from its treatment. Tenders Save been invited for repairs to the Wood stock Company's water race, and as soon as this work is accomplished, the stone-, breaker will be brought to bear on several parcels of stone .from different mines, in tended for shipment to the old country.'

Waitekaitri, Saturday

Hollis and party, tributei- in the Waiter kauri mine, havo again got on to payable stuff'in two different places, and they ate now sending a 40-ton parcel to the battery, where they expect it will shape remunera tively. The trial parcel forwarded'to the Maungakara battery by Mason a"d party, tribnters in the Young New Zealand, did not turn out as well as expected, and they have now started in another part of the mine.

PERSONAL REMINISCENCES OF INDIA.

On Monday evening last Mr Solomon Reid gave an interesting lecture on the above subject in aid of a widow and family in dis tress, a' member of St. David's congrega tion. The church was well filled, about 200 persons being present. Hon. Colonel Haultain occupied the chair, and suitably opened tho proceedings. The musical illustrations were furnished by St. David's choir, .and prominent members of the Burns Club. Miss Beedell, the accomplished pianist, and Mr Hood, violinist, gave an instrumental duet, followed by a glee, " Away, Away," by the choir, under the direction of Mr John Bell. Mr Reid then proceeded with his lecture, confining him self to personal reminiscences, wayside in cidents, and scenes he had witnessed in India. The scenes included Calcutta—its streets and surroundings—a church of black faces and white teeth—a native flute-player accompanying himself with Avoids, which, rendered into English, were :

My dear lassie, don't you cry,

I'll be with youby-and-byc

The .lecturer graphically depicted his journoyings through a strange country as an Engineer, with bullets occasionally whistling around him, and his escapes from the tiger and other wild animals. Sketches were also given of Benares, Cawnpore and Luck now ; the unjust execution of a venerable priest because he was unable to disclose a secret, the character of the sepoys, the mysterious writing on the wall, King of Oude's Palace,where the lecturer was entor tained, and his travels through a wild coun try with an exploring party, under General Hope Grant, in May, '57. A most interest ing feature in the lecture were the pen and-ink portraits of Sir Colin Campbell (Lord Clyde) and the heroes of those eventful times. 'Briefly, the lecture was chatty, pleasant, anecdotal, and instruc tive, the personal matter being new to listeners, and quite apart from printed histories. Mr McGregor proposed, and Mr Angus seconded, a hearty vote of thanks to the chairman anil lecturer. The musical items were: — Quartette, "Home, Sweet Home," by members of the choir. Recitation, " The Tartau," by Mr Robertson ; song, "Oh, why left I Mao Hame ?" Mr 6. Carter, who being recalled sang "Afton Water " (Burns) with telling effect. Song, "Jessie's Dream," by Mrs Bartlett, was one of the gems of the' even ing, and in keeping with tho "Relief of Lucknow" as pictured by the lecturer. The whole of this excellent entertainment was closed with tbe lively quartette " Dame ]. urden," the glee " Homeward Bound," and the National Anthem by the choir.

We bet__;vf. that if every one would use American Co.'s Hop Bitters freely there would be much less slckne-s and misery in the world, and people are fast finding thi_ out, whole families keeping well at a trifling cost by its use. We advi.e ail to try it. Head.

Parish Schools in Scotland.

(To the Editor.) SIR,-~Your corresoondent, .lames Cunning ham, is perfectly correct about the pans.? ■•rchools. My father, was a parish school master for upwards of 35. years in one iuu .sh. When he was a young man ho had lads joining daily to school from three di-ei-ft't counties and seven diffo^nt paiishe.. Rich arid poor of both sexes nserl to attend tho sariie school. One young m.<m after leaving school went to- Edinburgh', and in a few years he could speak, read, or write some twcnty-ive, different languages. However he died, when a young man. *he- result of over- , itttdv His name was war, and I. lia. c seen medals that he won,yti well as printed testimonials showing his qualifications. Ho was before my day, but? I knew his old maid sister well, and. site could) ! neither speak, read, nor W».to one language at all correctly,thus shoving great | [diversity of talent in one famftv. .>ty | father educated hundreds of paorVJhiiai-en | \ for nothing. He hud some ten arises as a , I glebe, a free house, garden, and outhouses, ! and some thirty or forty pounds yearly I from the heritors of tho parish. _ He biu.l ! also a (.infill sum for acting as heritors amt j session clerk. When people got niarriet. j i there was such a thing a?, " cries, thusly r There is a purpose of man-iage betwixt j James Potter, of the parish oi Whitburn, > I and Maggie Burns, of tho pariah of I Westcaldcr, intimated the first (or it nught Ibo the Second or third) time. If tho cries I extended'over throe weeks, the charge was B»; and for two weeks, 10s, and it crux! thrioe in one day, 20s. In the first order, the cries wero read in front of the pulpit as ] soon as the minister was seated, on three , separate Sundays. The 10s method was; once on the first Sunday in church, oncoi in tho second Sunday in the seasion house, and then in the church. If the ( 20s, the cries wero read onco before the session clerk left home, _ once in tho session house, and tho last time in the church, all the performance being finished in one day. Sometimes there might be no cries at all on a Sunday-at other times, half-a-dozen or more. Many a time I have read the cries myself when a young fellow, and if the parties cried were extra tV^'fl, or bashful, I could mumble out the names of the intending matrimonialists ill Such a wav as would, puzzle Old Harry himself, but ringing out the nimesof the parishes clearly tir.d distinctly.—-I am, etc., The Old School.

Expensive Stipends.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, — The letter of "A Certificated Teacher" on tho abovo subject is worthy of the consideration of the public. He or sho appear- to think that cWrgymen are too highly paid. Now, what is the fact ? It is notorious that those gentlemen arc very poorly remunerated with a very few excep tion.'!;, and those exceptionnl casos are not overpaid even in those depressed times. A minister of a populous congregation is paid according to their ability, and so soon as that ability is lessened the stipend must come down. To the real supporters of a church their great regret is that they cannot give their minister a better stipend, and, in my experience, the growlers are those who givo very little, if any at all. Singling out one suburban clergyman does not look well: however, "C.T." has his own reasons for it. If clergymen have a considerable stipend the ' demands upon thorn, in the way of charity, hospitalities, etc, arc proportionately great, very few indeed being able to lay apart anything for a rainy day. Pastor Spurgeon, I observe, has knocked off £100 of his salary. What tho balance is, I don't krftiw, bnt. I should fancy it still tops any stipend in tho provincial dis trict, and, remember, he is a bachelor (not continue so, I hope). 1 hope ''C.TA will practice what he or she preaches, and ask the Board of Educa tion to tako 50 pel* cent, oil' his or her salary.---I am, A Mj-aibkk ok tiik Church Ob* S-OT-AN. .

Freeman's Bay Temperance Club.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Several articles having lately ap peared in the papers on the closing of the above institution, which have contained in accuracies and have been calculated from their tone to irritate tho people of the dis trict, the Committee have thought it right to, publicly disclaim any p.>.ir knowledge of or responsibility for the articles referred to, and at tho same lime to give the reasons which led to the abandonment of the enter prise. For the first few weeks Of the Club's ex istence the receipts were sufficient to make it almost self-supporting, although tho men did not patronise it as it was expected they would, notwithstanding that the place was most comfortably furnished and made as attractive as possible. With the lads, who formed the large majority of the members, the nos'elty of the gymnasium, &c, soon wore off, and they began to drop out week by week till the roll was made up of a group of boys and young men who, with few exceptions, livo in the immediate vicinity of the premises. The sale of refreshments during the day, from which a revenue had been anticipated, became almost nil, and it became necessary to curtail expenses. It was decided with reluctance to dispense with the services of the caretaker, and close the club during the day. The work of the club from this time was carried on by a small staff of volunteers, ladies and gentle men, who, in turn, opened the place ab six o'clock, prepared the coffee, etc., and looked after the recreation and welfare of the members, but still it was found the expenses were considerably over the in come. After some time, tis additional at tractions, a piano and bagatelle table were bought. Sir Wm. Fox kindly volunteering to become responsible for any deficiency in the purchase money of the piano. A num ber of ladies kindly visited the club in the evenings, treating the members to vocal and instrumental music, which was much appreciated, but still the men kept away from the club, the reason assigned being that cards were not allowed. Meanwhile the deficit was steadily increasing. The member's fee was then reduced from Gd to 3d, and penny concerts organised with a view to popularising the club, bub with out success.

The debt had now grown into a formid able sum, and there being no prospect apparently of increasing* the member ship or further curtailing the expenses, the Committee were with great unwillingness forced to the conclusion, that the club should be closed. The number benefiting by it

being so small, .and the deficit increasing ab the rate of aim ost £1 per week i" sP lt:. e f l all tl)eeflbrt.s-ivhic:i had boon put lortn to make the club at success, it is difficult to see what other opai.se could have been reason ably adopted.— -Yours, etc., F. Mokt go-ikrv, Hon. I Secretary and Treasurer.
