PRICE—ONE PENNY.

TABLE TALK.

Teetotallers in conference. Alliance breakfast this morning. I don't believe in those cold water affairs. Well, some Fox do! Sir Randolph Churchill has returned to

London.

So has the Prince of Wales. The Hei Apparent wa_ over " assisting " at Emperor William's birthday celebration.

Conspiracy and plot everywhere. Revolutionary plot in Spain, and risings at Widdin and Plevna.

Plevna 1 Isn't that the spot in Bulgaria where a notable siege took place during the Russo-Turki.h war ?

The same; everybody remembers the noble defence of Osman Pasha and the Turkß.

Yes, of course ; but the Russians eank a lot of blood and treasure there, and mean to reap the fruits.

A plot in France too. Intrigue on foot to eject a Cabinet Minister. Another Protective lecture by Mr Brame to-night, in the Foresters' Hall. Ah, do you think he will produce any effect in converting people from Free Trade?

Never ! Even such a high-dry old Tory as the Marquis of Salisbury declares that a return to protection is without the range of practical politics. Yes; and they thought it worth while to cable that opinion from London to New Zealand. Rut what does Brame care for Salisbury ° Did you ccc that good suggestion] of a South Island Freetrader ?

No ; what was it ? He advocates a poll- tax of £50 a bead on revivalist preachers and escaped nuns. Ha !ha 1 Very good. He has evidently been won over to Protective views, and means to " keep the money in the coun try." The band from the French war-ship will play in the Albert Park to-morrow and Friday. " They are jolly good fellows I" I see they fire going to play Pooley's Kawau M- "■■■ ..

i.,uoed; then I hope the Knight of the Kiiwau may stay in town to hear it. Poor Duchess of Cumberland adjudged insane.

Yes ; rather peculiar caee ! Took a shock on hearing of the attempted assassination of the Czar.

The steamer Triumph has reached Eng land all right. Of course she has; nobody but a lot of old wives ever thought there was anything wrong. Colonial affairs are still being kept to tbe front in London.

The Phoebe Goldmining Company of Aus tralia has been registered, with a capital of £40,000.

The Federal Fire Insurance Company, recently floated by Mr David Christie, has commenced business.

The "Economist" urges the Imperial Conference to simplify the procedure and execution of judgments in the colonies and England. They say that water melons are being thrown to the pigs at Te Aroha. Casting pearls before swine, as of old ! Did you see that monster mellon that was on exhibition here last week ?

Yes ; it was gjown by Mr Hawkins of Te Aroha, wasn't it ? What about it?

Why, it was sold for ten shillings,

You don't mean it I Te Aroha folks mußt be a melon-choly lot of fools to throw money to the pigs 1 They are, when they could send 2 cwt of the precious melons by rail to Auckland for 3s 3d. .

You were wrong about the state of affairs in Eden Terrace.

W hat I About the poll for water supply, and all that ?

Yes ; quite out of it. Why, the poll takes place on Saturday next, and is ex pected to be in favour of the loan. Ah ! I mistook the Saturday ; but who told you about it ?. Mr Adam Porter, -the Chairman of the District, and if he doesn't know the state of matters I'd like to know who does. ■c. »

That was surely a mistake made yester day in stating that Lady Vogel and Miss Vogel were staying at the Star Hotel. ■ Yes; it should have been Bov.ll, not Vogel; quite a difference, you see 1 Mr D. A. Tolo.has gone North to inspect the new village settlements.

Tol(e)d yon he wan going. Ha, will get his eyes opened,l fancy. That just depends upon whether or not he meets Mr Riohard Hobbs. - < Mr T. B. Hill has got a diploma and certificate for some Raglan stone-sent to the Indian and Colonial Exhibition at London.

Is that Raglan atone of any use J Take my word it is. It will prove a great source of wealth to Auckland, and parti cularly to those who owe the quarries. The time for receiving tenders for the new Catholic Church of St. Benedict has been extended till Monday next, 4th April.: Ah. 1 Couldn't they in the interim arrange to put up the new church on the Symonds street frontage of the cemetery ? Good idea ! They would not require a_ Act of Parliament foi that, and it should suit the purpose just as well.

Mr Bryce has agreed to take the " stump" in response to the Premier at Marton. Bryce seems to b« posing as the leader of the Opposition, eh ? , . Well, that's unavoidable.. You know Major Atkinson cannot, because of the ill nets of his wife.

Sorry to hear that 1 Was in hopes the Mayor would pay his usual visit to Auck land, aud deal some sledge hammer blows at "Sir Rubbart."

THE BOLTON BANKRUPTCY CASE.

At a sitting of the Supreme Court in Bank-

rupty yesterday,' hefore Mr Justice Ward, Mr Rigby made an application, under the Debtors and Creditors Act, 1876, for direc-

tlons regarding the remuneration' to be paid to Mr A. D. Bennett,' the creditors* trustee in the estate of R. F,

Bolton. Mr George appeared on be half of the Official .assignee, who opposed the application He stated that Robert Fitzroy Bolton was an uncertificated bankrupt under the Debtors and' Credi tors Act when he again became bank-

rupt under the Bankruptcy Act, and the Official Assignee claim, d that certain moneys now in the hands of Mr Ben nett belonged to Bolton's creditors under the last bankruptcy, and. should be paid over to him. Tho sum referred to was £131 odd, which, it was claimed, should come out of tho account ren dered to the Official Assignee by Mr. Bennett as expended in Bolton's estate. The Court continued some time. considering the various items set down. The main question was whether or no Mr Bennett was entitled to rot-in the costs of defending himself in the action brought against him by Messrs Mackay, Bolton and Walker for alleged peijury in connection. with tho filing of an affidavit. Mr George contended that Mr Bennett waa not entitled to these costs, while Mr Rig by submitted that as it arose out of the civil case in which Bennett as trustee resisted Mackay's claiiai again6t Bolton's estate it was right tlaat thecostof defending these tate on _*balf of the creditors should he borne by the estate. Mr George alse afked that Mr Alexander's bill of cotta should be taxed also Mr Bennett's charge for co_n__ißaio_. The trustee claimed commission for £400* but out of this costs had been deducted by the Court, and he only received £302 -17s 2d His Honor reduced the commission from If) per cent, as allowed by the. oreditor., to 5 per cent., as authorised by the Act Mr George also objected to certain amounts paid to Mrs Bolton. His Honor held that the costs of the dafence must be. allowed after being taxed, for it was evident that in this case the affidavit, out of which this ajraae was sworn.by Mr Bennett to save the estate from wrongful claims, and were the trustee not able to defend himself ont of the estate be would be a heavy loser The costs would be therefore allowed on the ground that if the prosecution had suci cecdedit would have caused considerable )qss to. the estate. Mr George theiT applied for costs for the Official Assignee Bis Honor held that he was entitled t_ .6 6a costs. , ,s —

PRIOR LISTS BENT TO ANY ADDRESS. JOHN LAMB, of the Aucklai d Roller Mills and Bisoult Manufactory, Fort street, takes the liberty of Intimating to the public that he has put on the market a -'PATENT POR RIDGE MEAL," made from pure wheat, which is much cooler than oatmeal; and it will be seen from the analysis of Mr J. A. Pond, Colonial Analyst, which 1b annexed, that this la a most valuable food, and it Is giving entire satisfaction. It can be obtained at most ot the leading exocers' In Auckland and suburbs. In 71b bags and up wards, and Brown Bread made from this meal from the leading bakers. In making ihe por ridge, the water should be boding before the meal ia put In. : Auckland, February 12,1887. J. Lamb, Esq., Auckland, Sir,—At yonr request I obtained a sample of your " Porridge Meal' from your mill on the Hist nit., and have examined the Bample, wi the following results:—• U'iA •' - ANALYSIS, Moisture 12_ Soluble Albuminoids 110 Sugar, Gum, and Dextrine.. .. 5_ Gluten 708 Cellulose _ .. 258 Starch and Fat .. _ .. .. 70 30 Ash .. _ . •98 100- This sample waß produced entirely from wheat, and these results show the preparation of a valu able article of food from which a large propor tion of the bran has been removed. The nitrogenous matter is present to a greater degree than it would be In flour prepared from this wheat, while the retention ot the germ in the meal adds greatly to its value as a flesh producer, owing to the large amount of albumlnoidßthnsret.ined.
