SUPREME COURT-In Bank ruptcy.

THIS DAY.

(Boforo His Honor Mr Justice Ward.) Public Examination.- James Warren sub mitted himself for public examination. In

ansivor to questions by Mr Cotter (who ap peared for Mr Ehrenfried] tho dobtor said that ho kept the Palaco Hotel at To Arolia over three years, while at tho present timo he was employed upon tho railway line. The hotel oons-tcd of 42 rooms, and ho ontercd into occupation of it without any capital. For tho first four or fivo months ho did fairly, but afterwards trado fell off vory much, chiefly through tho public losing confidence in To Aroha as a goldfield. During tho early part of his lease, his takings averaged from £12 to £15 per day', and they fell off to a third. His bonks had been used up as waste paper. His oxp.ns.s amounted to about £22 per week, and his profits to about half tho takings. Afterwards ho barely paid ex penses. During the first months,' he paid Mr Ehrenfried £500 for furnituro received, apart from wines and spirits supplied. Ho had no books to show even the weekly takings in the hotel. Tho bank-book showed £12,000 put through the bank during tho three years, but ho eoull r.ot say how much of this was profit. Ono third of it would bo about the amount of tho profit. Ho went into tho hotel in August, 18S3, and tha good limes lasted till Christmas that year. Then followed S or 10 months of bad times, during which ho carried on at a losr. After that, things im proved, and his takings rose to £10, £11, and £12 a day for tho seven days of tbo week, whilo his expenses (oxelusivo of out lay on tho dining-room) continued to bo about £22 per week He mado no calcula tion us to bis position. During thosummer of ISS-1 —between 3 and -1 months—trade continued good, and aftor that it levcrttd to a nou-p:iying condition until the folio,v ing summer, and from Match to December, ISSS, business was carried on at a consider able loss. At tho beginning of 1.86 things again improve!, but during the _holo cf this timo he never once took a week's re ceipts and compared them with a week's oxpendittiro in order to see how ho was doing. Ha depended up.n his bankers Business fell oil' again about April, ISSti. Ho remembered receiving goods from Mr Ehrenfried in March, unci paying for them by a past-dated cheque, dated April 30th. In April he got goods from him to tho valuo of over £100, and in May ho got about £50 worth of goods. He had not paid atiy portion of tho above-mentioned cheque, and ho had not paid a penny for tho goods received in April and May, and which wero consumed in the ordinary course of hi. business, lie was then carrying on business at a profit, and he did net pay Mr Ehrenfried then, but he was paying longer outstanding cieditors. Previously he had been paying Mr Ehrenfriod whilo tho others were left unpaid. Upon Mr Ehrenfried receiving notice of the cheque being dishonoured, ho came up to To Aroha, and witness then toid him he could not mak. tho hotel pay, and offered to give it up, Previous to that he had removed a portion of the goeds to a little cottage lest Mr Ehrenfried should seize them in spite of the fact that thoy had been obtained from other creditors, and had not been paid for. They wero north £400 Ho did not tell Mr Ehrenfried of this re moval or of his beii.g bankrupt. At that timo Mr Ehrei'frio.l held a bill of sale over his furniture. He did not communicate at that time with the persons from whom tho removed goods had been obtained. The hotel, in consequence of the removal of the goods, looked rather baro. They included £120 or £130 worth of groceries, and iho •rest was furniture not included in tho bill of sale. He had paid for somo portion of this furniture, as, for instance, various trink.ls of bis wifo's. He called vases and such drawing - rco-i ornament., trinkets. About £20 worth had been paid for Amongst his cteiitors for unpaid furniture were Moss Levy and Co., Auckland, whom he owed £5; Datnpi..r, between £10 and £20. He could not remember any othors, although ho owed for £260 worth of furni ture. Ho had not paid any of those credi tors since.— Mr Cotter pointed out that Dampier's name did not appear upon tho list of creditors.- -Cro.s examination con tinued : — Mrs Warren must havo paid Dampier when she went to town, in April. The goods were removed from the hotel in May. Mr Ehrenfried declined to tako over the hotel, but allowed to keep on the hotel on .attain terms. Ho brought back tho removed goods to it and remained in it three months longer. His wife had two horses and saddles, which she had bought with her own money, and his daughter owned a piano worth about £40—a gift to her from H. Hart and Co. He had had monetary dealings with this firm, tho last being for £3 5s Od in February last. He was surprised by the gift of tho piano. It still remained in tho hotel. He made up his mind in September last to file, and on tho 25th August last ha drew out from tho bank every penny standing to his credit, £43 13s 2d. He paid a Masonic account (money he hald in trust) about £12. nnd ten guineas to his solicitor. Between tho 23rd of August (when he drew out from the Bank) and the third of September (when he filed) his takings were about £5 or £6* a day, but he did not know what became of tho money, nor of the balance of the £-3, Ilia Honor expressed surprise that the witness should expect; this statement to bo believed Thoro remained about £90 tc account for. Cross-examination continued : He had not ono penny of money or property in the possession of any person on his behalf. —By Mr Alexander (debtor's solicitor): Until Mr Ehrenfried put the bailiffs in tho hotol ho had no r.ioro reason fo anticipito bankruptcy that twelve months previously. Ho was thereby de prived of the summer trado of ISSG and its profits.—Mr Cotter pointed out that Hie Honor had power under section 171 of the Act to commit the bankrupt to prison for various off-noes, such as failing to keop books, etc.—His Honor did not consider he could commit upon tho strength of the debtor's own statements. It upon extrane ous ovidenea tho debtor could ba proved guilty of any oft-iice, the Court might then proceed to indict punishment. Butin such a case, the debtor should roeeivo notice to defend himself.—Mr Cotterthereupon asked that tho tlebtor should be summoned under sub sections 2 and i to meet a chargo of having failed to keep proper books tc show hia basin.-s transactions.—Tho matter was accordingly fixed for tho first sitting in bankruptcy after the law vacation.

Tho Court then rose,

CITY HALL.

Till- attendance at the City Hall last even ing was not very good, although a first-class programme was presented. The famous gymnast, Siguor Gonzila, was loudly ap plauded for his excellent performance on the^nvisible wire, and tho well-known Perrman Family delighted the audience with their grotesque acts. Tho littlo fellow particularly exhibited great skill The statuary tableaux were very ef fective, the followiug subjects being delineated :—Defying the Lightning, Dis covery, Charity, The Boxera, Tying the Sandal, The Brothers' Quarrel, Extracting the Thorn, Dying Gladiator, Praying, Tho Death Blow, Retaliation. The thrilling act of .-Kola being fired from a monster cannon was not a complete success, as the trapezist failed to catch the interesting pro jectile, and she fell to tho network beneath, The following programme was gone through in "High Life on tho Seas ":—Overturo and chorus of sailors and lasses, full com pany ; song, "A Soldier and a Man," Mr E. Godfrey ; comic, " She Trotted Me Off to Church," Willie Perrman; ballad, •'Keep One Little Ki.s for Me," Miss Ada Clements ; patriotic Eong, " God Blees tbo Dear Old Land," Mr G. Harrison (this uong was writtsn expressly for tbis Company, and is copyrighted ; copic_ can be obtained from Mr Smith); comic, " The Lime Kiln Club," Johnny Collins ; ballad, "The Old Wooden Rocker," Misa Amy de Courcey ; triple song and dance, " Coming Home from Meeting," Mips Bella Perrman, Miss Laura Roberts, and Wiliie Perrman ; song, " Bid Me Good-bye and Go," Mies Glendenning ; song, " The Old Corporal," by the midget comedian, Arthur Perrman; marching song, "The Dashing White Sergeant," Miss Glendenning ; and serio-comic song, " Ain't it Funny," Miss Laura Roberts (encored). The amusing farce, " Darwin's Mi.aing Link," concluded the performance. ]

NEWS FROM KIMBERLEY.

YVk havo been shown a letter from a former Auckland resident (Mt-E, A. Down), written from Wyndham, Cambridge Gulf, about the middle of November, to a friend in Auck land. The writer says he nrrived there in the Hero, and among-1 those who came off to tho yes. el wero Mr J. Leydon and his daugh ter. Tho writer believes that tin, copper, iron, and coal will be found in the hills at tho back of the township. Tho Now Zenlanriere in tho rii.-t'ict are principally Wellington ians, while four out of every tivo diggers on tho field aro said to bo New Zealand men, Ho thinks thero will bo somo fuss about the wreck of tho Kapido, as it appeared that somebody was 11 blamo. Crowds of tliggars wero leaving tho place, and many of these had nover be.n to the field Car boys had brought down some quartz, and it had gono to Sydnoy to bo treated. Tho field would never, in his opinion, ba an alluvial one. All the gold he had seen was in quartz, and tho reefs from which it was taken must have been very rich. Ha sa-.v a nugget weighing 31 ounces. Ie had almost four ounces of stone in it, and sold as it was for £.'! 1G? nn ounce His candid opinion, how ever, is that tho place is not good enough. 110 had been thero six weeks, and had had quite enough of it. Ho would wait a few weeks longer and see if anything startling turned un, and if not ho wottltl make track?, for -.uckland. Ho woulri not tako a job there for any length (carpenter ing) under £2 per day, as ho believed ono year there would take it. out of a man as much as five years in Now Zealand, or any other temperate climate.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Church Bazaars.

(To the Editor.)

SiK,—As an old hand at church bazaars I havo to thank you. Your suggestion about the "parson's provider" is invaluable, and it puzzles me how the idea never occurred to me, notwithstanding my great bazaar ex perience. The success of bazaars, sir, de pends in the first place upon having a fer vent religious sentiment to work upon, and the female fleeh and blood element. These, judiciously blended, are the basis of one's operations. The object is to get money, and aa everyone knows,or ought to know it not born yesterday, the moat successful way to ■■ attain this object is by telling lies. First, ' then, take the father of lies into your con fidence. Get hold of him and consult with him, and induce him, if you are on familiar terms, to have hitn_elf dressed up in various ways. You can put him in long clothes co as to look innocent and "a perfect love," or in skirt tights to look naughty. 1 had him in the form of a picture gallery. , It wasn't a picture gallery at all, only a few pictures hung round the small room (which was off tho main building) in order to create a good first impieseion, ]tiat onegood one to be eeen through the door. The catalogue (prico Is) was a work of art. I wish I had a copy to send you, but they wero all Bold, and, beie let mo lemarb, so wero those who paid their half crowns to inspect the pic tures. It was delightful to see the dear old ladies consulting their shilling catalogues, and looking for No. so-and-so, " Effects of Harel Drinking," and after a diligent search finding an empty bottle, " Caught in Squall oft' Yarmouth " —two red herrings — was very much run after. How the par sons roared ! It was really side aplittiog, and worth all the money. But my object in writing to you is to mako a suggestion which, if adopted by any one of my brethren, is certain to succeed. I shall, of course, expect to sharo tbe "swag." It is simple, very simple, and most e.f.ctive when applied for purely gambling purpose.. It is nothing more nor less than the Totalis ator Race between the clergy themselves — tin., allowed, say, half an-hour. Greatest number of wore!. ..poken in that time bycom potit-r ccuifi? in first, a shorthand writer Ir->_n Si'AK Oliico to bo in attendance - must bo your most etrieient hand. Twi™ the irloa . I know my mart, and ana prepared to back him privately against tho iield. Quotation in betting column. Groat excitement. „_0,00(> at loast put on. Commission at 10 por cent, £3,0-0. Happy thought — build _ church.—Yours, i.e., An Or.n Baud, • i

Totalisator Versus Cash Fielders.

(To tho Editor.)

Sin, —Tho arbitrary and one-sided way in which the Auckland Racing Club havo acted in carrying out tho resolution passed by their Committoo and advertised in tho press, rolating to cash batting, etc., does littlo credit to that honourable body, Had thoy strictly and without favour carried out thoir resolution, nol only tho small cash fielders (who I am sure are very harmloss, should havo beon stopped, but tho lock should havo been placed on that gigantic cash - betting machine, tho totalisator, which has, during this summer meeting, swallowed up over £3,000 in psreontago, besides all fractional parts of a shilling on each dividend paid out. I should bo giad to know why tho totalisator should be allowed to receive cash, give tickots and charge ten por cent.— mind 10 por cent., and all fractional parts of a shilling, whilst a harmless cash fuller is pounced upon by tho police for laying tho odds to 2s ('d or 5_ If betting in any way is detrimental to tho peace and well-being of, tho publio generally either through the totalisator, club, book maker or cash holder, let tho whole of them bo wiped off the calendar of current events, co that tho Government of this country may not bo charged with making laws whereby tho rich and influential can break them with impunity and without interforenco ; w hilo, on the othor hand, tho poor class shall, upon tho slightest infringe ment of such laws, be severely tloalt with, j —I am, Sec, New Chum, |

Kelativo to tho totalisator, Mr W. Jowott, of Christchurcb, writes: "Tho deduction of 10 per cent, on money which is passed through the machine seven times during tho day is monstrous, the perconiago being really 70 por cent. Tho reason of £1 lis being accepted by many pooplo on Waitiri in the Victoria Handicap instead of £1 13s was simply beeaitso tho publio aro kept in total darknoss aa to tlio total on each machine, thoso out sido tbo saddling pud dock being unable to eeo tho totals on tho inside machine. In any other province where they have an ouf.-ide and an insido totalisator, tho dividends aro made up separately and paid accordingly."
