SUPREME COURT.

♦ ■ (Before Mr Justice Gillies.) Pkobatk.—His Honor dealt with orders foi probate in the following cases: Franli William Foley, George Henry Smith, Henry Ansell, George Shepton, Michael Tobin, Marguerite Clementine Harrison, and William Rattray. Mr Brock obtaiiieo letters of administration in the estate oJ James Kenyan Cave. New Zealand Stud and Pedigree Stock Company (Reduced), —Mr James Rnssel moved for directions, stating the day 011 which the petition should be heard, and in what newspapers notice thereof should be inserted.—His Honor fixed the first sitting for December, and ordered advertisements to be inserted in the Star and "Herald." Thk Rationalist Newspaper Company. —Mr Mahony moved that a day be fixed to settle list of contributors and foi directions as to the advertisement notices. Also that a day be fixed on or be fore which creditors are required to send their names and addresses and particulars of the amount due them to the office of the liquidator, and that a day be fixod for them to come and prove.-His Honoi fixed the hearing for the 6th January, 1888, and notified the papers in which the adver tisements weie to be inserted, claims to b« sent in before the 16th December, 1887. The same to be advertised. The Avondale PakSonaoe Dispute.—ln the matter of Arrowsmith v. McKenzie, Mi Alexander moved for summons to set aside the defence filed also for costs of application. This case resulted from the objections ol Ilev. Mr McKenzie to surrender possess ion of the Avondalo manse until his salarj had been paid. Ifc appears that arrears oi mortgage interest is due, and the mort gagee at once served a summons upon the occupier of the manse. Messrs fhornt and Rigby filed a defence on behalf oi Mr McKenzie, and iti was to have this set aside that Mr Alexander asked for an order.—His Honor ordered the defence to bo set aside allowipg £2 2s costs to Mr Alexander.—Mr Rigby asked His Honor if he could not act as intercessoi in the matter, as his client had not yet re ceived his salary, and was willing to give up possession as soon as it was forthcoming. —His Honor declined to have anything tc do with the matter. In thk Matter of the Whangarei Coal Co. v. Waller.—Mr Maheney moved that the charging order nid should be made absolute. Mr Russell opposed the ap plication on behalf of Mr Seherfl. — The circumstances of this case were that Mr Waller, being indebted to Mr Soherfl' in certain monies for coal, sometimo since gave to Mr Scherff two Government orders authorising the Government to pay to the said Mr Scherff, as agent for Mr Waller certain cheques due to Mr Waller for mail subsidies, also authorising Mr .Scherff to counter-sign the cheques in lieu of Mt Waller. Subsequently the Whangarei Coal Co. having obtained judgmeut against M,r Waller and before the monies coming to Mr Waller covered by the orders accrued were due, obtained an order nisi, charging all monies due or accruing to Mr Waller from the General Govern ment. That charging order was by special order of the Court as provided for by the Act, directed to be secured upon Mr Biss as representing the General Government. At the time that Mr Wuller entered into the arrangementwith Mr Scherff for the lat ter to receive the money due it was dis tinctly arranged between them, and was also brought to the knowledge of Mr Biss that Mr Scherff in this this matter should occupy Mr Waller'spositionasthe creditorof the Government to the extent of Mr SchertFs claim against Waller. After the charging order nisi had been served upon Mr Biss the monies dueupon the cheques were sent by the paymastergeneraldirectto Mr Scherffand all that was required was that thecheque should be" presented'to Mr Biss to be countersigned —Mr Mahony on behalf of the judgment, creditor—the Whangarei Coal Cortipany— contended further that if the order and authority to Mr ScherfT had any value it was an order to pay money and came within the definition of Bills of Exchange and as such should under the Stamps Act 1882 have been stamped for Id. As the order was not so stamped and could not now be stamped, he held that the Court must rule that there was no order in existence assigning the money to Mr Scherff. Mr Mahony quoted authorities in support of his contention. Mr Russell in reply argued that the authority given by Mr Waller to Mr Scherff was valid and that the affidavit of Mr Scherff which had been filed showed that there had been considerations for the authority given. He also referred to the fact that,the Pay master-General had actually sent to Mr Scherff the cheques which should have come to Mr Waller, and that now they only required counter by Mr Biss. His Honor said that he was clearly of opinion that the authority to the Government given by Mr Waller was nothing more than an author ity for payment of money to Mr Scherff as agent for Mr , Waller, and he considered that the money in the hand 3 of Mr Scherff could" be treated as being in Mr Waller's hands and therefore that the judgment creditor could attack the money. He thought that the cheque sent by Government subsequent to the service of the charging order nisi upon Mr Biss had been done in defiance of the charging order nisi and he held that the mere fact that Mr Scherff now held the cheques did not in any way support Mr Kussells contention thas they were evidence of an assignment. Mr Russell further contended that no writing was necessary to give equitable

assignment and quoted authorities to show , that ib was clearly laid down that in oral "* claims between parties brought to the 3_ knowledge of the garnislwe (in thie case Mr Biss) it was sufficient to entitle the new payee to the monies coming to the original creditors. Mr Mahony then replied, and His Honor deferred judgment until Mon day morning at 10 o'clock. - - -

SENDING ORES TO EUROPE.

A A New Departure. .6 } * Mr Cameron, proprietor of the Mabel it mine, Tui Creek, Tβ Aroha, has entered 11 into arrangements with the Bank of t New Zealand to forward for him D o to Germany fifteen tons of selected ore >r from that mine for treatment at Frie il borg. The stuff will probably bo o sent to Sydney, whence it can be sent r cheaply to Hamburg by the steamers of the d- German Lloyds Company. Mr Cameron it thinks that were the exporting of ore :s of unquestionable value entered into more 's largely it would be the best method of :r attracting foreign capitalists to our shores. g In support of this he instances the i- case of Silverton, S.A., the ore from which tl mining district was at first largely o exported for treatment abroad. Atten ds tion was thus drawn to its richness, j. and processes suitable to treat the ore were o soonintroducedintothecolony. Mr Cameron > says that he has seen lying " paddocked " i- at the Kenilworth mine, Karangahake, 30 .s tons of ore every ton of which he believes to ■a be worth £30. Perhaps Messrs Seegner, d Langguth. and Co., the local agents of »f the German Lloyds Company, _ would s ascertain from their principals if any g encouragement would be given to the direct c shipment of ore froni New Zealand by their c line to Germany. ~ V" II ..—I" - !>

NAPIER NEWS.

MANUFACTURE OF RAILWAY CARRIAGES. ./* (BY TELEGKAPH—OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Napier, this day. Writing of manufacturing railway plant at Napier, last night's " Telegraph " says : —"It may be absurd that Addington should manufacture a railway carriage for use at Dunedin.but it is not half so ridiculous as that either Wellington or Auckland should attend to the requirements of Hawke's Bay. In the former case the two places are connected with a railway, and the carriage can be pitched on to a train and sent to its destination without any trouble. In our local case there is not through communication between the places, nor is there likely to be for some years to come at least, and thus we have the ab surdity presented to| us of having a railway carriage being completed, then taken to pieces, shipped for Napier, and when it reaches here it has to be all put together again. We have re pairing shops here; not that weare indebted to any Government for them, but having a lino unconnected with any other system, it was compulsory that they should be here. Having those shops implies that most of the machinery necessary for the making of carriages and waggons is also to be found here, as it will be equally required for the repairing of existing stock as for tho manufacture of new plant; iherofore Hawke's. Bay itself with tho railway material required would not mean a great outlay for machinery."
